[Post-traumatic feto-maternal hemorrhage. Apropos of a case].

When a sinusoidal fetal heart rate pattern suggestive of severe anaemia is found one always has to think of feto-maternal haemorrhage. The diagnosis is made using the Kleihauer test. The quantity of fetal blood loss as estimated by this test must be suspect from this case history and from the figures that are quoted in the literature. It will probably be advisable to compare the Kleihauer test and electrophoresis of the haemoglobin in trying to estimate the quantity of blood that has passed from the fetus to the mother. In any case of trauma it is important to look for evidence of feto-maternal haemorrhage.

[Heterotopic autotransplantation of the ovary in women].

Treatment of subdiaphragmatic Hodgkin's diseases with combined radio- and chemotherapy results in castration of more than 80% of the women treated, despite oophoropexy. We suggest a new technique of subcutaneous ovarian grafting which provides full protection against irradiation and preserves both ovarian function and fertility. To be successful this technique requires the creation, prior to grafting, of a receptive cavity, two surgical teams working together, and the use of an operative microscope during transplantation. A mature oocyte was collected by puncture of the ovary-containing cavity one year after the operation.

[Per-coelioscopic salpingectomy in extra-uterine pregnancy. A series of 25 cases].

25 cases of extra uterine pregnancy treated by salpingectomy via laparoscopy, representing 33 p. cent of all ectopic pregnancies reported between September 1985 and 1986. The authors describe the techniques, its advantages and its drawbacks. This technique represents an interesting alternative to classical laparotomy in the treatment of extra uterine pregnancy since it allows: a reduced surgical time and shortened hospital stay, a lesser risk of adhesions, an uneventful postoperative course, a good esthetic result.
