New adhesion prevention concept in gynecological surgery.

Postsurgical adhesion formation is a common but significant problem. This is the first clinical evaluation of a new barrier material designed to reduce or eliminate postsurgical adhesions. SprayGel can be delivered laparoscopically or via laparotomy to form a strongly adherent hydrogel film. In this multicenter study, we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of SprayGel absorbable adhesion barrier system in patients undergoing open or laparoscopic myomectomy procedures. Here, we discuss the results of our evaluation conducted at the University of Kiel and Polyclinic of Bordeaux, and assess some of the features of this novel adjunct to prevent formation of postsurgical adhesions.

[Study of a new lactic acid and pH 5.2 lactoserum emulsion for feminine hygiene. Results of a clinical study].

A new solution intended for use in feminine hygiene, and composed of a lactic acid base and of lactoserum at pH 5.2, was tested for a period of 8 weeks on 40 women. This test focused on its influence on the pH and the flora, as well as on the tolerance of the mucous membrane. Successive measurements of the vulvar and vaginal pH revealed no statistically significant variation between the beginning and the end of the trial. At the study inclusion thirty patients had a normal flora; of these, twenty-eight showed no change during the eight weeks of the trial. A candidiasis appeared in two patients in the middle of the trial; one of these patients received no treatment, while the other was given a five-day treatment due to similar occurrences in her past medical history. The product under study was continued throughout the trial, at the conclusion of which the flora was found to have returned to normal. At the study inclusion ten patients had either a candidiasis or a vaginitis. Their lack of symptoms and the absence of any previous problems resulted in no treatment being made in five of the ten cases, while in four cases the presence of such prior problems led to the immediate carrying out of short-length treatments. In every case, the product under study was used until the end of the trial. Bacteriological studies showed that in all the patients--whether or not they had been treated--the flora rapidly returned to normal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

[Difficult embryo transfers: contribution of echography].

The aim of this retrospective study is to compare the results of embryo transfer in IVF without or after cervical dilatation, and trans-myometrial trans-vaginal transfer and after ultrasound-guided transfer. From 1989 to 1996 we have performed 4,355 embryo transfers to obtain 1,115 pregnancies. The results were 25.6% pregnancy by transfer and 10.9 embryos to start a pregnancy. During this time 281 transfers were appreciated as difficult or impossible and a cervical dilatation was done. We obtain 17.4% pregnancies by transfer with 16.5 embryos per pregnancy. We also practiced for the same indication 50 transmyometrial-transvaginal transfers. The result was 18% pregnancy by transfer and 16 embryos to start a pregnancy. In 1997 we have stopped cervical dilatations to prefer in these indications ultrasound-guided embryo transfer. 74 transfer were performed with this method to obtain 28.4% pregnancies per transfer and 9.9 embryos to start one pregnancy. This results are compared to a subgroup of women 38 years old or less, with a normal partner's sperm and in witch two embryos or more were transferred. At the end we think that the use of ultrasonography for embryo transfer is benefit in IVF program.
