[Electroconization with loop diathermy. A retrospective series of 307 cases].

The electroconization with diathermic loop is a good procedure in the cervical dysplasia because there is a respect of the cervical tissue with a low cost, low complications, easy and quickly technic and a precise histological analysis of the histologic specimen. The indications are represented by high grade lesions, cyto-histologic discordance and endocervical squamo-columnar junction with a low grade lesion. The authors proposed a retrospective study about 307 cases of the electroconization with diathermic loop realised between January 1993 and June 1998.

[Pelvic trauma and pregnancy. Literature review and case report].

The authors are dealing with a case of a pelvic fracture (right superior pubic ramus) after a road traffic accident to a patient who arise a pregnancy with twins at twenty five weeks pregnant. Seven per cent of a road traffic accident affect pregnancy with a maternal death rate from eight to sixteen per cent and a fetal death rate up to fifty seven per cent. Pelvic trauma are more deleterious during the pregnancy because of the gravide uterus, of the abdominal injuries binding more often, and of pregnancy secondary maternal physiology which lead to delay diagnosis and therapeutics. Blunt fetomaternal consequences are ruled by pelvic haematomas, uterine rupture, prematurity, acute fetal distress, fetal injuries and in utero death. At mid and long range arise the problem of child birth way and the risk of mechanical dystocy. Cesarean is store in case of vesical and urethral injuries, or perineal injury, several pelvic fractures or in case of the pelvic belt fracture moved and not reduced, bringing to a surgical unsymmetrical pelvis. In the other cases, the obstetrical prognoses will be done after a dialogue with all medical staff and a full synthesis of the file based on the fetopelvic comparisons (obstetrics previous, clinic, fetal biometry, pelvimetry X ray).

[Role of laparoscopy in the management of uterine cervix cancer].

At the turn of this century, the evidence of the benefits of a concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in locally advanced tumors and the development of mini-invasive surgery (laparoscopic and radical vaginal surgery) are the two main advances in the management of cervical carcinomas. From a personal experience of 304 cervical carcinomas, the different techniques of laparoscopy used in cervical carcinomas are addressed and discussed. Their long-term results when involved in the management protocols of cervical carcinomas at different stages are reported. From this series, some conclusions are drawn: 1) laparoscopy can spare a laparotomy in early-stage node-negative patients with low tumoral volume; 2) it can spare a systematic extended-field radiation therapy in high-risk patients with node-negative para-aortic exploration; 3) it can spare surgery in patients with a centro-pelvic advanced stage or recurrence, possibly candidates for an exenterative procedure, if occult spread is found in the intra- or retroperitoneal areas. The more and more frequent combination of the mini-invasive surgery for staging and treatment and radiotherapy or chemotherapy explains the need for new protocols of a more and more complex and specialized management.

[Marfan syndrome and pregnancy. Apropos of 4 cases].

OBJECTIVES: To create a follow-up protocol for pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who delivered in the Jeanne de Flandre University Hospital between June 1996 and June 1999. Four pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome were identified. RESULTS: Three of these patients had Bentall procedure. One of them had vaginal delivery and the two others underwent cesarean section. One of these two patients developed aortic valve thrombus at 14 weeks of amenorrhea. The fourth patient did not have surgery and had two vaginal deliveries. DISCUSSION: According to our results and after reviewing literature pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome were divided into two groups. The 1st group was comprised of patients who underwent Bentall procedure. The 2nd one was comprised of patients who did not undergo any surgical procedure. The possibility of vaginal delivery for patients who underwent Bentall procedure (one case) and the interest of Propanolol and anticoagulant treatment are emphasized. CONCLUSION: The multivariant approach of pregnant patients with Marfan syndrome is stressed out with special reference to the potential complications of this syndrome such as aortic dissection and to the problems related to the anticoagulant treatment.
