ABSTRACT
Sexual violence is a pathological entity that requires urgent attention. The gynecologist/obstetrician (G/O), as a medical professional in charge of women's health, especially as it pertains to women's reproductive organs, should become an active agent in the management of the sociomedical processes that constitute sexual violence. The results of a survey conducted in Mexico on the opinions and practices of G/Os regarding violence against women--especially sexual violence--are reported. It is necessary to sensitize and train G/Os and other physicians in bio-ethics, and to look for formal support of such activities in the legislative branch of government.

Genital hemorrhage continues to be the primary cause of death among fertile women. Hysterectomy, when practiced as a second surgical procedure following an obstetric event, and without having been planned, is an ongoing therapeutic resource. The author depicts the risk profile of women who could eventually undergo obstetric hysterectomy. Certain pathologies, guidelines, surgical technique instructions, and other surgical manouvers are also presented. The causes of surgical re-intervention and other surgical techniques, as well as massive blood loss, and morbidity are assessed. The authors finally emphasize the importance of an early consultation, of a correct surgical technique, the appropriate equipment management, and the measures for preventing the originating pathology.
