[Endometriosis on laparotomy scar after cesarean section].

Cutaneous endometriosis is an infrequent pathology whose etiopathogenesis is still uncertain. A case of cutaneous endometriosis at the surgical scar level following cesarean section is reported. Moreover, the aspects which might facilitate the diagnostic approach and a correct therapeutic management are underlined.

[Vitamin E in the treatment of pregnancy complicated by uterine myoma].

The authors describe the encouraging results obtained in the treatment of uterine myomas during pregnancy, using vitamin E at a dose of 300 mg times a day, starting the administration from the time of the first examination of the patient, which took place between week 6 and 12 of gestation. A group of 25 women underwent treatment, aged between 25 and 41 years old, of whom 15 were primigravidas and 10 with one or more previous pregnancies, suffering from uterine myomas in pregnancy, and observed between 1986 and 1994. All the pregnancies continued to term and elective cesarean section was performed associated with single or multiple myomectomy.

[Extrauterine pregnancy in residual tube stump in a patient already treated with partial salpingectomy for right ampullar pregnancy. Report of a clinical case].

The authors illustrate a case referred to their attention and underline the rarity of the extrauterine pregnancy described caused by the external migration of the fertilised egg which, passing through the contralateral tube and the uterus, became implanted in the residual tube stump (following earlier partial salpingectomy due to ampullar pregnancy).

[A new surgical technique to reduce genital-urinary prolapse].

The authors describe a new surgical technique to reduce the prolapse of genitals and urinary organs. In retrospect, we studied 36 women--between the ages of 59 and 85--who had been hospitalized from 1988 through 1990 at the Ospedale di S. Anna of Rome and from 1991 through May 1994 at the Ospedale Sandro Pertini of Rome.
