Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of pregnancies in women who had uterine malformation and surgically treated obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Methods

The study group comprised 21 women with malformed uterus (12 didelphic, 6 septate and 3 bicornuate uterus). All of them had a history of surgical excision of the longitudinal vaginal septum caused obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. All pregnancies and possible surgical interventions were evaluated during the follow-up period (median 13.2 years).

Results

Thirteen out of 21 women attempting pregnancy conceived. They produced 22 pregnancies, 17 (77 %) were contralateral to the treated obstructed hemivagina and unilateral renal agenesis. The median interval between surgical treatment of obstructed hemivagina and the first pregnancy was 10.5 years. Twenty (91 %) pregnancies ended in delivery of a living infant. Preeclampsia (14 %), preterm delivery (36 %), high frequency (38 %) of fetal breech presentation and the cesarean section rate (67 %) were found.

Conclusions

Accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgery to open an obstructed hemivagina in adolescence assure fertility. Preterm birth is associated with malformed uterus and unilateral renal agenesis may predispose to preeclampsia.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Harninkontinenz: Netz-Op. erfordert über lange Zeit intensive Nachsorge

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Welche Übungen helfen gegen Diastase recti abdominis?
