Abstract

A review of the anatomy of the cervical plexus and surrounding structures suggests a single-injection technic which simplifies anesthesia of the cervical plexus and increases the margin of safety in this procedure. Used by the authors, the technic has been successful in 97 percent of over 100 cases.

Incidence and cause of postpartum urinary stress incontinence.

Urinary leakage was reported in 53.5% of our patients at least once during pregnancy. Multigravidae and women older than 30 were affected more often than primigravidae or women younger than 30. 6.2% of all women, who were continent before pregnancy, developed permanent stress incontinence after vaginal delivery. As a conclusion, it can be said, that vaginal delivery itself predisposes for permanent stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Factors, which increase the trauma to the pelvic floor (tear, no episiotomy, forceps or vacuum extraction), show a higher incidence of postpartum persisting SUI without statistic significance. Labour management with epidural anaesthesia showed a statistically proven lower incidence of postpartum persisting SUI in comparison to the pudendal block.
