Sexuality and quality of life of patients operated for Rokitansky syndrome Mayer Kuster Hauser.

INTRODUCTION: Rokitansky syndrome or Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser (SRKMH) is a rare congenital malformation defined by uterovaginal aplasia. The aim of the treatment is to create a neovagina and restore sexual life. However, postoperative results in terms of sexual and overall quality of life of patients remain controversial. AIM: To evaluate the quality of life and sexuality of patients operated on for Rokitansky syndrome. METHODS: This was a retrospective and comparative study between two groups of patients. The first group consisted of patients who had undergone vaginoplasty as part of SRKMH. The second group was that of the controls. Control in terms of sexual function by the Ar FSFI (Arab FemaleSexualFunction Index) and quality of life by the SF36 (Short Forms Health Survey) were used in both groups. RESULTS: The average age of patients operated on for SRKMH was 22.53 years. Eighteen of these patients (60%) were sexually active at the time of the study. Patients operated on for SRKMH had a significantly lower Ar FSFI score compared to the control group. The two areas most affected were lubrication and pain. Likewise, patients who underwent vaginoplasty had a significantly lower SF 36 score compared to the control group. The psychological component was the most affected of the different components of quality of life. CONCLUSION: Sexual function and quality of life after vaginoplasty in the context of Rokitansky syndrome remains unsatisfactory despite the anatomical result.

[Early postpartum discharge: outcomes and risk factors of readmission]. / Sortie précoce en post-partum: résultats et facteurs de risque de ré hospitalization.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the practice of early postpartum discharge by analyzing maternal readmission rates and identifying readmission risk factors. This is a prospective and analytical study of 1206 patients discharged from hospital on postpartum day 1. For each patient we collected the epidemiological data, the course of pregnancy and childbirth. We identified the causes of readmission and their evolution. Cesarean delivery rate was 42%. Maternal readmission rate was 0.99%. The average length of stay in hospital after readmission was 26 hours. Intestinal transit disorders were the most frequent reason for consultation (50% of cases) followed by fever (25% of cases). The readmission risk factors identified in our study were: cesarean section (p = 0.004), emergency cesarean section (p = 0.016) anemia (P < 0.001) and thrombopenia (p = 0.003). Early postpartum discharge seems a safe option for the mother and their newborn children subject to the ability to clearly communicate health information to the patient and to the compliance with selection criteria.
