Placenta percreta con invasión a vejiga; reporte de un caso y descripción de la técnica quirúrgica / Placenta percreta with invasion of the bladder: case report and description of surgical technique

La placenta percreta es una de las variedades de acretismo placentario más graves, con consecuencias catas-tróficas, entidad rara con alta morbimortalidad materno-fetal. Se reporta un caso de una paciente de 18 años con antecedente de una cesárea, que cursó con embarazo de 36 semanas de gestación y acude por sangrado transvaginal. Durante su estancia se corrobora diagnóstico de placenta previa parcial y acretismo placentario. Durante la laparotomía se observa placenta percreta con invasión a vejiga. Actualmente hay diversos abordajes quirúrgicos, todos encaminados a disminuir complicaciones asociadas; en este caso se realizó cesárea-histerectomía modificada como una alternativa terapéutica a considerar

Placenta percreta is one of the most serious varieties of placental accreta, with catastrophic consequences, a rare entity with high maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. We report a case of an 18-year-old woman with a history of a cesarean section, who was pregnant at 36 weeks of gestation and went for transvaginal bleeding. During her stay, diagnosis of partial placenta previa and placental accreta was corroborated. During the laparotomy she was observed placenta percreta with bladder invasion. There are currently several surgical approaches, all aimed at reducing associated complications; in this case modified cesarean-hysterectomy was performed as a therapeutic alternative to be considered

Detección de anomalías de posición mediante ultrasonido transabdominal suprapúbico. Reporte de dos casos / Detection of position anomalies by suprapubic transabdominal ultrasound. Report of two cases

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Las anomalías de posición fetal se asocian con la deficiente evolución de trabajo de parto. El ultrasonido durante el trabajo de parto es una herramienta complementaria para confirmar los hallazgos obtenidos en la exploración vaginal y definir el tipo de anomalía de posición fetal. CASOS CLÍNICOS: Caso 1: Paciente de 24 años, primigesta, con 41 semanas de embarazo y ruptura prematura de membranas. Ingresó al área de tococirugía por completar la dilatación y borramiento cervical, sin evolución del trabajo de parto durante 120 minutos. El ultrasonido transabdominal suprapúbico reportó el signo de estrabismo. El embarazo finalizó por cesárea y se corroboró la anomalía fetal de posición occipito-posterior. Caso 2: Paciente de 29 años, primigesta, con 39 semanas de embarazo e hipertensión gestacional, quien completó la dilatación y borramiento cervical y durante 120 minutos no hubo descenso del polo cefálico. A la exploración vaginal se detectó variedad de posición fetal occipito-transversa. El ultrasonido transabdominal suprapúbico mostró el signo de estrabismo. El embarazo finalizó mediante cesárea y la evolución para la madre y su hijo fue satisfactoria. CONCLUSIONES: La ecografía es un estudio efectivo para la detección de anomalías de posición, pues disminuye las complicaciones materno-fetales asociadas con trabajo de parto extendido. Sin embargo, reportar la experiencia de solo dos casos no podría tener validez para sustentar dicha afirmación.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The anomalies of the position are the cause of failure in the task of labor. The ultrasound during labor is a complementary tool to confirm the clinical findings in the vaginal examination and define the type of position abnormality. OBJECTIVE: to report on the use of ultrasound during abnormal labor, such as the detection of the position abnormality. CLINICAL CASES: Case 1: 24-year-old patient with 41 weeks of gestation (SDG) and premature rupture of membranes, entered the area of tochosurgery to complete the dilation and cervical neck, nevertheless worked and delivery for 120 minutes . A suprapubic transabdominal ultrasound was performed, finding a sign of strabismus, the resolution was by caesarean section and an occipito-posterior position anomaly was corroborated. Case 2: 29-year-old patient with 39 SDG and gestational hypertension, it is deduced from the labor, the cervical neck was dilated and for 120 minutes, there was no decrease of the cephalic pole, a variety of occipito place -transverse, suprapubic transabdominal ultrasound was performed, finding a sign of strabismus. The pregnancy ended by caesarean section and the evolution for the mother and her child was satisfactory. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound is an effective study for the detection of position abnormalities, since it reduces maternal-fetal complications associated with extended labor. However, reporting the experience of only two cases could not be valid to support this assertion.

Hemorragia obstétrica secundaria a placenta previa y leiomioma retroplacentario gigante cervical. Reporte de un caso / Obstetric hemorrhage secondary to placenta previa and giant retroplacental leiomyoma cervical. Case report

Resumen ANTECEDENTES: Los leiomiomas y el embarazo se relacionan con complicaciones impredecibles; incluso su incidencia se ha incrementado, debido al retraso de la primera gestación y conforme avanza la edad de la madre, su asociación con hemorragia posparto y alto riesgo de histerectomía obstétrica aumentan la morbilidad y mortalidad. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 30 años, sin control prenatal y embarazo clínicamente de término, que acudió a urgencias por dolor obstétrico y sangrado transvaginal. En la exploración física reveló el primer periodo de trabajo de parto, 9 cm de dilatación, altura de presentación -4 según los planos De Lee; se palpó el borde placentario a nivel cervical, acompañado de sangrado transvaginal moderado, rojo rutilante. Se activó el código mater y se preparó para cesárea, por placenta previa sangrante. Durante la intervención quirúrgica se comprobó el diagnóstico y la tumoración, que inició en la cara posterior, en el segmento uterino inferior, y finalizó en la zona cervical, con múltiples vasos de neoformación sangrantes y atonía uterina secundaria, circunstancias que condicionaron hemorragia importante. Se efectuó la histerectomía obstétrica y nació una niña de 3145 g, talla 51 cm, Capurro de 41 semanas de gestación y Apgar 7/9. La pérdida hemática total fue de 2000 cc; permaneció cuatro días en estancia hospitalaria y la madre y su hijo se dieron de alta del hospital sin complicaciones. CONCLUSIÓN: La relación entre miomatosis uterina y embarazo incrementa el riesgo de complicaciones maternas. El seguimiento ecográfico y el control prenatal determinan su repercusión durante la evolución del embarazo y el parto. En estos casos es importante considerar el tratamiento conservador.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Leiomyomas and gestation are an association with unpredictable complications, in which their incidence is increased by the delay of the first gestation and as maternal age advances, its relationship with postpartum hemorrhage and high risk of obstetric hysterectomy increases maternal morbidity and mortality proportionally. CLINICAL CASE: A 30-year-old patient without prenatal care and a clinically terminal pregnancy, who attended the emergency department due to obstetric pain and transvaginal bleeding. Physical examination revealed first labor, 9cm of dilation, height of presentation -4 according to plans From Lee, placental edge was palpated at the cervical level, accompanied by moderate transvaginal bleeding, bright red, mater code is activated and prepared for cesarean section, for bleeding placenta, during the surgical event, corroborates diagnosis and tumor that starts on the face posterior, lower uterine segment and ends at the cervical level, with multiple vessels of bleeding neoformation and secondary uterine atony, causing significant hemorrhage, obstetric hysterectomy was performed, a new born with sex female woman with a weight of 3145 g, size 51cm, Capurro 41 weeks of gestation was obtained, Apgar 7/9, the total blood loss was 2000 cc, 4 days of inpatient hospital stay, the binomial without complications was graduated. CONCLUSION: The association of uterine myomatosis and pregnancy increase the risk of maternal complications, adequate ultrasound monitoring and prenatal control, determine the repercussion during the evolution of pregnancy and childbirth, conservative management should always be considered.

Women's experiences with legal abortion in Mexico City: a qualitative study.

In April 2007, elective first-trimester abortion was legalized in Mexico City. As of June 2011, more than 60,000 women from Mexico City and other Mexican states have obtained legal abortions in the city's public hospitals and health centers, with private facilities providing additional abortion services. This study examines women's experiences of abortion services in one public and two private clinic settings in 2008. Twenty-five in-depth interviews were conducted: 15 with women who obtained abortions in a public health center and 10 who obtained the procedure at either of two private clinics. Participants were highly satisfied with services at both public and private sites, although some had to go to more than one site before receiving services. None expressed doubts about their decision to have an abortion, and they felt unanimously that they were treated with respect. Furthermore, participants were pleased with the counseling they received and most accepted a contraceptive method after the procedure.
