Cesarean section using the Misgav Ladach method.

OBJECTIVE: To stress the advantages of the Misgav Ladach method for cesarean section. STUDY DESIGN: In this study operative details and the postoperative course of 139 patients who underwent cesarean section according to the Misgav Ladach method in 1995-96 are presented. RESULTS: The Misgav Ladach method reduces operation time, time of child delivery, and time of recovery. The rates of febrile morbidity, wound infection and wound dehiscence are not affected by the new technique. CONCLUSION: Our study highlights the efficiency and safety of the Misgav Ladach method, and points out the speeded recovery, with early ambulation and resumption of drinking and eating, that makes the cesarean section delivery closer and closer to natural childbirth.

Endometriosis and infertility: our experience over five years.

During a 5-year period, we diagnosed endometriosis by laparoscopy in 163 infertile patients (7.9% of the infertile population). Seventy-one women presented with minimal endometriosis, 32 women a mild form, 38 women a moderate form and 22 women a severe form. Only 40 patients (24.5%) were found to have endometriosis as the only abnormality in a complete fertility work-up. One hundred and twenty patients were treated with Danazol (600 mg daily for 4-6 months) and 33 of them conceived (27.5%). Twenty-eight patients received conservative surgical treatment associated with Danazol therapy and 11 of them conceived (39.2%). In the 15 patients with minimal endometriosis, who had no therapy but expectant management, there were two conceptions within one year (13.3%). The anticipation of minimal disease in patients with endometriosis as the only abnormality produced about the same results as achieved by active treatment (pregnancy rate of 33.3% after expectant management and 36.3% after treatment). These results suggest that minimal endometriosis can be anticipated only when there are no co-existing factors of infertility.
