[Placenta accreta. Ten cases].

A retrospective analysis of 10 cases of placenta accreta observed from 1983 to 1993, all confirmed histologically, were reviewed at the Gynaecology-Obstetric B ward of the Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis. The incidence of this placental anomaly is 1 for 7,139 births. The condition is usually discovered due to excessive bleeding at delivery. In 10 cases, hysterectomy was required for haemostasis. There were 3 maternal deaths. The insertion of the placenta on a uterin scar is highly suggestive of placenta accreta. The increase in the incidence of this pathology over the last years is probably related to the increase in the number of cesarean sections. When observed, hysterectomy provides the best chances of survival.

[Robert's uterus with menstrual retention in the blind cavity].

Robert's uterus or asymmetric septate uterus is a rare malformation. It presents with two cavities, one of which is blind. The authors report an original case: the blind cavity, on the right side of the septum, contained retained secretions. The embryologic and physiopathologic mechanism of this anomaly still are to be discussed.

[Value of early oral feeding after a cesarean section].

In order to evaluate the advantages and possible disadvantages of early oral realimentation following cesarean section, the authors undertook a randomized prospective study involving 100 patients divided into 2 groups: A, in which oral feeding remained forbidden until the spontaneous restoration of intestinal function; and B, in which oral feeding was restarted as early as 6 hours postoperatively. The results of the study indicate the usefulness of early realimentation after cesarean section which, in particular, enabled a 4 hour decrease in the time before which flatus was passed and a 5-fold decrease in gastrointestinal problems.
