[Comparison of obstetric and perinatal results of childbirth vertical position vs. childbirth supine position]. / Comparación de resultados obstétricos y perinatales del parto en postura vertical versus supina.

BACKGROUND: Vertical position is an option to delivery to which several advantages have been attributed. This research exposes its related findings. OBJECTIVE: To compare obstetric and perinatal outcomes between supine and vertical position at delivery. PATIENTS AND METHOD: We performed a randomized double-blind study including healthy women assigned to the supine or upright posture (vertical) during labor with complications following the delivery in the puerperium stage. The variables evaluated were: blood loss, pain in the second period of labor and immediate postpartum, duration of the second period of labor, perineal and vaginal tears, need to forceps implement, accommodation in position and perinatal outcome. RESULTS: 164 patients were randomized into two groups, the vertical position (I) and the supine position (II). The losses were 5.4%, and the Caesarean rate was of 4.6%. Difference was found only for vaginal tears in the vertical posture, with a relative risk of 1.4 (CI 1.1-3.2), and shortening of the second period with a significant difference of 10 minutes on average (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The upright posture during childbirth provides no improvement in perinatal outcomes and fewer obstetric conditions. It shortens the second period of labor, but it is a risk factor for vaginal tears. The best position for birth is which offers more comfort to the patient.

[Skene cyst: report of a case and review of the literature]. / Quiste de Skene: reporte de un caso y revisión de la bibliografía.

Paraurethral cyst or Skene cysts are rare at any age but particularly in newborns. In infants typically present as cystic formations, raised similar to a dermoid cyst. The treatment is established based on the findings, pathology and the age of the patient may be observational, puncture the cyst or surgical. We present a newborn with acute renal failure secondary to skene's cysts.

[Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. A report of two cases]. / Síndrome de Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser: reporte de dos casos y revisión de la bibliografía.

The Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by lack of vaginal and uterine development variable and normal ovaries. It results from agenesis or hypoplasia Müller duct system. Cervicovaginal agenesis as part of the complex syndrome, is even rarer. We report two cases: adolescent patient with primary amenorrhea, cervicovaginal agenesis and chronic pelvic pain, and a 28-year-old patient with primary amenorrhea, congenital absence of uterus and vagina.

[Transverse vaginal septum in the upper part of the vagina and pregnancy]. / Tabique vaginal transverso superior parcial y embarazo.

Transverse vaginal septum is a congenital Mullerian malformation resulting from a failure of the fusion or canalization of the urogenital sinus and the Müllerian ducts. It may cause hematocolpos, dyspareunia and infertility in adult patients. In some cases, it is associated with congenital malformations such as coarctation of the aorta or atrial septal defects. A case of a transverse vaginal septum identified during a vaginal check-up of a 39-week pregnant patient during labour is reported. A cesarean surgery was performed with no complications. Septal defect was diagnosed due to heart murmur. It was decided to treat the transverse vaginal septum as soon as the puerperium was over. The patient left the hospital after proper response to treatment.

[Placenta accreta: a surgical alternative that can save lives]. / Acretismo placentario: una alternativa quirúrgica que puede salvar vidas.

The placenta accreta is the second leading cause of obstetric hemorrhage, which often require the implementation of emergency obstetric hysterectomy increased morbidity and mortality. We present a surgical alternative to hysterectomy obstetric allowed us to reduce to zero until our rate of maternal deaths from obstetric hemorrhage. Improving surgical times, associated morbidity, without altering perinatal outcomes.

[A surgical alternative for placenta accreta]. / Una alternativa quirúrgica para acretismo placentario.

The placenta accreta is the second leading cause of obstetric hemorrhage in the world. In many occasions it is necessary to make an obstetric hysterectomy, a circumstance that increases morbidity, and maternal mortality. Communicates a surgical alternative to hysterectomy obstetric that has enabled us to reduce until the time to zero our rate of maternal deaths by obstetric hemorrhage, in addition to reducing the surgical time and the associated morbidity, without changing the perinatal outcome.

[Urethral myomas: report of two cases and literature review]. / Miomas uretrales: reporte de dos casos y revisión de la bibliografía.

Leiomyomas of the bladder and urethra are extremely rare. Depending on their location and size, they can produce diverse clinical manifestations. At urethral level in particular, formed near the vaginal wall, symptoms include recurrent urinary tract infections, voiding dysfunction, foreign body sensation, heaviness and dyspareunia. We present two cases of urethral leiomyomas, one expressed during pregnancy, which resolved successfully with surgical resection without damage to the urinary tract and no recurrence so far.
