[Lower urinary trauma complicating gyneacological and obstetrical surgery]

The trauma of the lower urinary tract in gynecologic and obstetrics surgery is rare. Discover the circumstances of their happening, their symptoms, and their methods of diagnostic and their treatment. Authors report 24 cases observed over a 12 years period. These lesions consisted on 20 bladder lesions and 4 ureteric lesions. The frequency of these urological complications was 0.21% among the 12000 surgical operations performed between 1992 and 2003. The most causal operation was caesarean and abdominal hysterectomy. Urinary trauma was more frequent in patients with history of abdominal surgery. Post operative course was uneventful in most cases. Trauma of the lower urinary tract in gynecologic and obstetrics surgery is rare but their ignorance may seriously affect the functional urinary prognostics

[Cesarean deliveries in the maternity of military hospital of tunis. indication and prognosis: about 5008 cesareans]

The rates of cesareans increased in many countries, these last years. we propose to evaluate the indications, and the maternal and foetal prognosis. it's a retrospective study of 5008 cesareans during 10 years period, collected in the maternity of the military hospital of Tunis. Cesarean section rate is 21, 59%. The cicatricial uterus constitutes the dominant indication [34%]. In the event of noncicatricial uterus, the fetal suffering [24, 7%], the failure of the trial of labour [14. 2%], and the breech presentation [12, 7%] are'the principal indications. The hemorrhage constitutes the major complication into per- operational [2%]. The post-operative complications are noted in 15, 5%. Maternal mortality is 0, 13%; perinatal mortality is 1, 06%; perinatal morbidity is 9, 68%. The increase of cesarean rate improves fetal and neonatal prognosis however it was associated to an increase of maternal

Syndrome de Potte. Etude analytique a propos de 4 cas

Potter's reno facial syndrome is a rare innate abnormality. We bring 4 observations repertoried at the maternity of military hospital of tunis over a period of 6 years [1997 - 2002]. The purpose of our work is to determine after a review of the literature the echographic and foetopathologic characteristics, and the forecast of this syndrome. The frequency of the bilateral renal agenesis is of 0.27 per thousand positive diagnosis bases essentially on the ultrasound of the 2 th, or the 3-th trimester. The signs of appeal are essentially the oligoamnios associated to an hypotrophy the caryotype is systematic to eliminate an associated chromosomic abnormality. Foetopathologic exam is usefull for the diagnosis. Main abnormality except the urinary pathology is the lung hypoplasia. Therapeutic interruption of the pregnancy in this situation not compatible with the extra-uterine life. Only type IV authorize the development of the pregnancy according to echographic data and of foetal urinaire biochemistry. We insist on the early practice of the morphological ultrasound between 20 - 22 weeks for the diagnosis of foetal abnormalities and the place of the gentic advice in association with the geneticist in the coverage of the couple
