Perineal cellulitis following trans-obturator sub-urethral tape Uratape.

OBJECTIVE: We report two cases of perineal cellulitis due to the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence with a trans-obturator sub-urethral tape of Uratape (Porgés). METHODS: Treatment and follow up of their complication were performed at the CHRU of Lille. RESULTS: In both cases, this complication is related to prolonged vaginal exposition of the tape. Vaginal erosion always occurs next to the silicon coated section of the tape. CONCLUSION: Such a complication has never been described yet. It shows a lack of data concerning human tissue tolerance of sub-urethral tapes constituents. Such examples should call for caution against new materials, all the more so as they have not yet been validated by large scale studies.

[The effect of amniofetography on the fetal thyroid (author's transl)].

Although there are certain advantages of amniofetography they must be considered against the risk of fetal hypothyroidism "in utero" with its prognostic danger. The authors report six case histories which illustrate this risk and they draw attention to the possible effect on the thyroid gland "in utero". Amniofetography should therefore be reserved solely for those cases in which the indications exist and there are no other possible means of diagnosis. If it is indicated means must be found of treating the possible transitory iatrogenic hypothyroidism.

[Danger of iodine drugs in the pregnant woman].

The authors draw attention to the fact that the possible effects of drugs containing iodine are often neglected during pregnancy. As an example, they report the following observation : "A young woman with benign asthma, treated for 14 years Asthmasedine and Asthmaligne, gave birth, on the 36th week of pregnancy, to a child apparenty dead but who was able to be reanimated. The child showed two types of signs : respiratory distress due to higher neurological disorders and a multinodular, non-compressing goiter. These two complications were caused by a congenital hypothyroidism corroborated by laboratory tests and due to the prolonged absorption of iodinated drugs by the mother". In conclusion, in cases of women receiving during pregnancy high doses of drugs containing iodine (250 such drugs are recorded in the Vidal), it is desirable to control the effect on the fetus and to propose an intra-amniotic therapy with L-Thyroxine, thus allowing a cerebral development close to normal.
