ABSTRACT
A free-floating, calcified cyst was found in the peritoneal cavity in association with unilateral absence of the adnexa. The evidence was that it was due to torsion and separation of the adnexa from their supporting structures. This phenomenon may be a cause of congenital absence of the ovary.

Puerperal ovarian vein thrombophlebitis is a relatively rare postpartum complication that may result in serious complications. The syndrome may be diagnosed through exploratory surgery or diagnostic imaging, although the best method remains unclear. In one case, open laparoscopy yielded a swift diagnosis and ensured prompt treatment without necessitating further diagnostic studies.

Two editorials in the June 1991 Wisconsin Medical Journal communicated a concern for the equitable provision of health care to all Wisconsin residents. They requested greater commitment to this goal by the state government, and cited quality obstetric care as a worthwhile investment of the public dollar for long-term public health. As part of the discussion of resources available to improve obstetrical care, this paper will present a summary of the current status and potential expansion of midwifery practice in Wisconsin after a synopsis of the relevant historical information.
