[Giant chorioangioma of the placenta: report of a case]. / Corioangioma gigante de la placenta: informe de un caso.

Chorioangioma of the placenta is a benign vascular growth most frequently. Many small neoplasms are missed in routine examination of the placenta. The large tumors cause problems for the clinical outcome of the pregnancy or delivery or for the infant. We report a giant chorioangioma of the placenta of ten centimeters diagnosed in delivery by cesarean section in women with gestation third without complications. The benign vascular growth to fetal surface of the placenta. The histological variety was an angioblastic. In this case complication maternal or infant were not diagnosed.

[Cesarean section: intraoperative blood loss and its restitution]. / Cesárea: pérdida hemática transoperatoria y su recuperación.

Prospective and comparative study performed during 1997-1998. 1) PURPOSE: To estimate the blood lost trans-surgery. 2) To evaluate, with and without ferrotherapy, the hematic recovery degree, through the puerperium. Fifty women were involved, with a full, single and normal pregnancy to whom, in order to perform elective cesarean sections, underwent blocking epidural. We practiced a sequential determination of hemoglobin in all of them, through their staying hospitalized and during their puerperal control. The puerperas that left the hospital with hemoglobin under 11 g/dl, received oral ferroteraphy. The red formula outcomes were evaluated using percentage and descriptive statistics. The hemoglobin average displayed in g/dl were: a) Preoperative: 11.78, b) Postoperative: 10.39, c) At left hospital: 10.34, d) At 10 postoperative day: 11.72 and e) At 40 postoperative day: 12.86. The difference between preoperative and postoperative determinations, allow us to esteem, the trans-surgical blood average lost and his recuperation degree through the puerperium.

[Post-cesarean section maternal lactation: lactational and neonatal follow-up]. / Lactancia materna postcesárea: seguimiento lácteo y neonatal.

A clinical lacteal, neonatal, following up, was done in 25 puerperal women, post-cesarean section, who had selected breast feeding for their child since their prenatal control. It was concluded that adequate assessorship about lactation during prenatal consultation, positively modifies maternal attitudes towards natural feeding; and that it is also possible and convenient to introduce in the perinatology team's practice the support to lactation with special emphasis in hospital stay after cesarean section and subsequent consultation, for adequate surveillance of post-operative evolution, and control of the healthy child. In this manner, it is possible to orientate and encourage recent puerperae and to verify newborn's optimal growth when fed with this natural method.
