[Residual ovarian syndrome with ureteral stenosis].

The development of a cystic pelvic mass after hysterectomy with preservation of ovaries can be the cause of chronic pelvic pain. This entity is called "the residual ovary syndrome". To our knowledge there are no cases reported in the literature with associated ureteral obstruction. A case in which the formation of the pelvic mass contributed at least to the formation of the ureteral stenosis is presented. The pelvic pain and stenosis resolved after treatment with GnRH-analogues and with temporary ureteral stent.

[Experiences with breast stimulation for labor induction].

At the Gynaecological Department of the University of Innsbruck, 207 nipple stimulation for the induction of uterine contractions were performed, using the necessary precautions, in 186 pregnant women at term. The continuous or intermittent manual stimulation by the patient was mainly used for contraction stress testing. An adequate uterine response (at least 3 contractions per 10 minutes) was achieved in 57%. Reversible signs of hyperstimulation, such as prolonged uterine contractions and tachysystoles, were observed in 10%, causing reversible pathologic fetal heart rate patterns in 1%. The classical intravenous oxytocin challenge test produced a higher uterine response rate as compared at the same time to breast stimulation. Provided, that an adequate response was achieved, normal and pathological fetal reaction patterns were identical in both tests. In 20 patients we used nipple electrostimulation. Results were similar to those achieved by manual stimulation. Due to the conflicting reports in the literature and because of the potential hazards involved, the use of nipple stimulation for the induction of uterine contractions can be advocated only in a controlled clinical setting. Its application without medical supervision, as propagated in the lay press, is definitely contraindicated.

[Severe bacterial infections in gynecology and obstetrics].

Within a 3-years period the presence of nosocomial bacteriaemias was analyzed retrospectively among 13.878 hospitalized patients. The incidence was 0.050%. Antibiotic prophylaxis and the operative technique play an important role in achieving a low incidence of morbidity due to infection. The management of a severe infection includes antibiotic therapy according to culture sensitivity and intensive care.

[On the problem of the cardiotoxicity of epirubicin-cisplatin].

Cardiotoxicity is supposed to be the most important limiting factor in chemotherapy with anthracycline derivatives. The left ventricular ejection fraction was measured several times by means of radionuclid - scintigraphy in 24 patients treated with epirubicin - cisplatinum. Pathologic values have been found only in 3 patients, but no correlation with age, cumulative dose or dose/m2 of body surface could be demonstrated.

[Urodynamic parameters before and following a vaginal incontinence operation].

We compared two groups of patients 14 months after vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair, group I (n = 20) postoperatively continent versus group II (n = 27) postoperatively incontinent. Preoperative urodynamic findings were of no prognostic value with regard to continence. There was no statistical difference in maximum resting urethral closure pressure (UCP), urethral functional length and dynamic and reflectoric vesico-urethral transmission factor, in spite of group I having a slightly higher resting UCP than group II. Group II showed a significant decrease of resting UCP postoperatively.
