Colposcopy in gynecologic practice.

We review the role of colposcopy in the setting of a private gynecologic practice and present the data regarding 418 patients. The practicality and propriety of using colposcopy to evaluate patients with abnormal results of cytology, gross cervical lesions with or without postcoital bleeding, or a history of intrauterine exposure to diethylstilbestrol are discussed. The follow-up of small groups of patients treated with cryosurgery for intraepithelial neoplasms is presented.

Verrucous carcinoma of the vagina.

The case histories of three women with verrucous carcinoma of the vagina are presented. Verrucous carcinoma, in the female genital tract as elsewhere, is a relentlessly growing, destructive, but generally nonmetastasizing neoplasm of stratified squamous epithelium with a characteristic gross and microscopic appearance. It should be recognized and segregated from the usual type of squamous carcinoma so that appropriate therapy can be administered. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy is usually contraindicated. Two of the patients described here were treated by surgery alone with good results. The other received radiation only and died within a year with persistent disease.

Cervical pregnancy: report of three cases and a review of the literature.

Three cases of cervical pregnancy are reported and the literature is reviewed. The incidence is found to be increasing and it was felt to be related to the increasing number of legal or therapeutic abortions, or other surgical procedures on the cervix and endometrial cavity, resulting in unsuitable endometrium for implantation of a fertilized ovum.

A ten-year experience in the evaluation and management of patients with stress urinary incontinence.

The surgical procedures used, the complications encountered and the results obtained in 549 patients with urinary stress incontinence with or without prolapse and 50 patients with prolapse without urinary stress incontinence are presented. Incontinence was cured in 347 patients, improved in 126, unchanged in 66 and worsened in ten. Seven patients operated on for uterine prolapse developed urinary incontinence after surgery. The overall recurrence of SUI was 12.75%. The introduction of suprapubic bladder drainage has practically eliminated postoperative urinary tract infections and reduced the length of hospitalization from 9.1 to 7.2 days. My experience in 214 patients with suprabpubic drainage demonstratedthe superiority of the Ansari method over the cystocath. The addition of Cantor's bladder neck plication improved the results (cured plus improved) from 80% to 100% in the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz operation and from 81% to 86% when the Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz operation was associated with an abdominal hysterectomy.
