Endometriosis de la pared abdominal en relación con cicatriz de operación cesárea: serie de casos / Abdominal wall endometriosis in relation to cesarean section scar: number of cases

RESUMEN: La endometriosis (E), se define como presencia de glándulas endometriales y estroma fuera del útero. Ocasionalmente se presenta como masa sensible en la pared abdominal (PA), en relación con una cicatriz quirúrgica (EPA). Aunque el tratamiento es quirúrgico, existe poca información respecto de la morbilidad postoperatoria (MPO) y la recurrencia de la EPA. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar MPO y recurrencia en pacientes resecadas quirúrgicamente por EPA. Serie de casos de pacientes con EPA, sometidos a cirugía de forma consecutiva, en Clínica RedSalud Mayor, entre 2011 y 2021. Las variables resultados MPO y recurrencia. Otras variables de interés fueron: tiempo quirúrgico, estancia hospitalaria y mortalidad. Las pacientes fueron seguidas de forma clínica. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, con medidas de tendencia central y dispersión. Se intervinieron 14 pacientes, con una mediana de edad de 33 años. La medianas del tiempo quirúrgico y estancia hospitalaria; fueron 55 min y 2,5 días respectivamente. La MPO fue 14,2 % (2 casos). Con una mediana de seguimiento de 31 meses, no se verificó recurrencia. Aunque la EPA es poco común, estas lesiones deben sospecharse en mujeres en edad reproductiva con masa palpable en relación con una cicatriz de cirugía ginecológica u obstétrica. Los resultados obtenidos, en términos de MPO y recurrencia, fueron similares a series internacionales.

SUMMARY: Endometriosis (E) is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and endometrial stroma outside the uterus. Occasionally it presents as a sensitive mass in the abdominal wall (AW), in relation to a surgical scar (AWE). Although the treatment is surgical, there is scarce information regarding postoperative morbidity (POM) and recurrence of AWE. The aim of this study was to determine POM and recurrence in patients surgically resected by AWE. Case series of patients with AWE, consecutively submitted to surgery, at RedSalud Mayor Clinic, between 2011 and 2021. Outcome variables were POM and recurrence. Other variables of interest were surgical time, hospital stay and mortality. Patients were followed-up clinically. Descriptive statistics were used, applying central tendency and dispersion measures. 14 patients were intervened, with a median age of 33 years. Median of surgical time and hospital stay were 55 min and 2,5 days respectively. POM was 14.2 % (2 cases). With a median follow-up of 31 months no recurrence was verified. Although AWE is uncommon, these lesions should be suspected in women in fertile age with a palpable mass associated with a scar from gynecologic or obstetric surgery. The results obtained, in terms of POM and recurrence, were like international series.

Disruption of physiological labour; - A population register-based study among nulliparous women at term.

OBJECTIVES: Current labour practices have seen an acceleration in interventions to either initiate, monitor, accelerate, or terminate the physiological process of pregnancy and childbirth. This study aimed to describe and analyse the use of interventions in childbirth in Denmark over almost two decades (2000-2017). We also examined the extent to which contemporary care adheres to current international recommendations towards restricted use of interventions. STUDY DESIGN: A national retrospective Danish register-based cohort study including all nulliparous women with term births with singleton pregnancy and a foetus in cephalic between the years 2000 and 2017 (n = 380,326 births). Multivariate regression analyses with adjustment for change in population were performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Induction of labour, epidural analgesia, and augmentation of labour. RESULTS: Between 2000/2001 and 2016/2017, the prevalence increased for induction of labour from 5.1% to 22.8%, AOR 4.84, 95% CI [4.61-5.10], epidural analgesia from 10.5% to 34.3% (AOR 4.10, 95% CI [3.95-4.26]), and augmentation of labour decreased slightly from 40.1% to 39.3% (AOR 0.84, 95% CI [0.81-0.86]). Having more than one of the three mentioned interventions increased from 12.8% in to 30.9%. CONCLUSIONS: The number of interventions increased during the study period as well as the number of interventions in each woman. As interventions may interfere in physiological labour and carry the risk of potential short- and long-term consequences, the findings call for a careful re-evaluation of contemporary maternity care with a "first, do no harm" perspective.

Gestación y parto en mujeres con edad materna avanzada en Tunja, Colombia. 2011-2015 / Pregnancy and birth in women with advanced maternal age from Tunja, Colombia 2011-2015

Resumen Introducción. La gestación en mujeres >35 años se considera una condición de riesgo obstétrico, tanto para la madre como para el feto. Objetivo. Explorar la prevalencia y los factores determinantes asociados con la gestación en mujeres >35 años en Tunja. Materiales y métodos. Estudio de corte transversal en el que se analizó el registro institucional de partos ocurridos en mujeres residentes en Tunja durante el período 2011-2015. Resultados. Se presentaron 1 558 partos en >35 años, lo que constituye el 11.6-13% del total anual; 49.8% de los partos se dieron mediante cesárea. Los factores asociados fueron afiliación al régimen contributivo, escolaridad de la gestante y de su pareja, hábitat urbano y pareja estable. No se encontró riesgo incrementado de complicaciones obstétricas en comparación con otros grupos de edad, pero sí asociación positiva con mayor probabilidad de prematurez, sobrepeso, óbito fetal previo y operación cesárea. Conclusiones. La incidencia de parto es ligeramente mayor a la media nacional, quizás por factores sociales y culturales no establecidos con plenitud, pero similares a los reportados en la literatura. Es recomendable profundizar en el análisis de determinantes para mejorar las estrategias de vigilancia y control, así como rutinas de tamizaje.

Abstract Introduction: Pregnancy in women >35 years is considered an obstetric risk condition, for both the mother and the fetus. Objective: To explore the prevalence and determinants associated with pregnancy in women >35 years in Tunja. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study in which the institutional records of deliveries occurred in women living in Tunja during the period 2011-2015 was analyzed. Results: There were 1 558 births to women >35 years, which constitutes 11.6-13% of the annual total; 49.8% of those births were delivered by caesarean section. Associated factors included affiliation to the contributory regime, school level of the pregnant woman and her partner, urban habitat and stable partner. No increased risk of obstetric complications was found in comparison with other age groups, but positive association with higher probability of prematurity, overweight, stillbirth and cesarean section was observed. Conclusions: The incidence of birth is slightly higher than the national average, perhaps due to social and cultural factors not fully established, but similar to those reported in the literature. It is advisable to deepen the analysis of determinants to improve surveillance and control strategies, as well as screening routines.
