[Perinatal outcomes of patients with gestational diabetes diagnosed by three different methods].

Background: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common diseases during pregnancy. Despite this situation, there is still no consensus on methods for screening and diagnosis of this disease.

Objective: To assess perinatal outcomes of patients with gestational diabetes diagnosed using three different methods.

Utility of the pulsatility index of the uterine arteries and human chorionic gonadotropin in a series of cases of placenta accreta.

The conservative management of retained placenta accreta has been proposed as an alternative option in selected cases. Three patients under conservative management of placenta accreta were followed using the pulsatility index of the uterine arteries and the β fraction of human chorionic gonadotropin to determine the degree of vascularity between the uterus and the placenta. In this series of cases of conservative management of placenta accreta, the pulsatility index of the uterine arteries showed a better correlation with the uteroplacental circulation than serum β fraction of human chorionic gonadotropin.

[Telemedicine and robotic surgery in gynecology].

This paper reviews most relevant issues in robotic surgery and its applications in gynecology. Surgery is one of medicine's branches that have achieved most progress in last years. Robotic surgery is a new technology with several applications in teaching, medical service, minimal invasion surgery, and microsurgery fields.

[Benign peritoneal cystic mesothelioma as differential diagnose of an ovarian dependant tumor. Case report and review of the literature].

Benign cystic mesothelioma is an uncommon lesion of the peritoneum, occurring predominantly in women of reproductive age. The present case is a multitreated perimenopausal woman with lower urinary tract symptoms without clinical improvement despite the treatment, and pelvic pain with physical findings and radiology studies of a probable ovarian mass dependant tumoration, requiring protocolized exploratory laparotomy, finding a benign cystic mesothelioma. Despite the low incidence of this tumoration the gynecologist must be familiar with this disease, because of the high recurrence.
