RESUMO
Twenty-three thousand maternal deaths per year in Latin America and the Caribbean reflects clearly the critical situation in this part of the world. Although we don't know exactly how many women die every year from pregnancy and childbirth, it is clear that the majority of these women are from low socioeconomic backgrounds, live in remote places and have a low level of education. Hemorrhages, infections and hypertension induced by pregnancy are the most common causes of maternal mortality. These pathologies can in many cases be prevented if there is a will for a positive change that involves different sectors related with health. The role of the scientific societies, and the role of FIGO through the 'Save the Mothers' Project are of extreme importance, assuming a chief role and compromise that can help in the right way to be able to revert this situation.

184 quistes del ovario han sido tratados en 182 intervenciones quirúrgicas practicadas por masa anexial. Los métodos quirúrgicos han sido: 21 laparotomías, 35 laparoscopías, 126 tratamientos laparoscópicos puros, de los cuales 50 Q.T.P. (quistectomias trans-parietal), 17 Q.I.P. (quistectomia intra-peritoneal), 9 O.T.P. (ovariiectomía trans-parietal) y 51 punciones simples. Los autores muestran que gracias a esta nueva técnica, 76 laparotomías se han podido evitar con las consiguiente ventajas: hospitalización de corta duración, post-operatorio simple, costo inferior al de la laparotomía
