ABSTRACT
Complications of 140 cases of squamous carcinoma of the cervix treated by surgery are analyzed. Intra- and post-operative morbidity is considered; intra-operative morbidity was very low. Post-operative morbidity was mainly rappresented by early and late bladder dysfunction. Recurrence rate is analyzed; it is 10%.

140 cases of squamous carcinoma of the cervix stage I and stage II are reviewed ; 84 stage I and 56 stage II. Details of staging, surgical treatment and follow-up are exposed. Survival rates are analyzed at 3 and 5 years. Nodes involvement in the patients operated by Wertheim-Meigs was 12.5%.

The Authors studied the trend of HbA1 values in 215 normal pregnant women and in 31 normal non-pregnant women (control group). HbA1 values appeared to decrease in the course of pregnancy, according to a parabolic regression. A minimum value was reached near 25 weeks. The levels of HbA1 in the last weeks were not different from the control group ones. HbA1 did not change significantly during post-partum period.

In order to reveal the possible physiological role of the kallikrein during the stress of birth, the prekallikrein and kallikrein inhibitor were evaluated in 15 pregnant women and in 15 newborns from terminated pregnancies. The results show a very low level of prekallikrein in the funiculus blood at the moment of birth and a still lower level in venous blood 24 hours after birth. No important changes resulted in the mother's blood either in pregnancy, nor at the end of the labour.
