Recurrent trophoblastic neoplasia.

An unusual case of recurrent benign trophoblastic growth occurring for the fourth time in a gravida 4, para 0, 30-year-old woman is reported. Prophylactic chemotherapy was instituted to avert the disaster again, without success. The question of her future obstetric outcome poses a formidable dilemma and no radical measures could be undertaken, as the patient hoped for a normal pregnancy.

Cervical encerclage--a stitch in time: analysis of 23 cases.

Cervical incompetency has been recognized as a cause of repeated reproductive loss. Currently many surgeons cast doubt on the existence of cervical insufficiency and the efficiency of encerclage to salvage the situation. Over a period of 3 years we did cervical encerclage for 23 patients with recurrent pregnancy loss in whom all other causes were ruled out. Twenty-one patients benefitted by the procedure, only one ended in missed abortion and one patient had preterm delivery with early neonatal loss. We had a fetal salvage of 91.3%. Birth weights of the babies were above 2500 g in 65.2%. In our experience, with proper selection, patients benefitted from encerclage performed at the appropriate time.
