[Radical hysterectomy. Operative complications].

The Authors carried out a retrospective examination of data relating to 241 patients undergoing radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy between 1970 and 1991. The basic aim of the study was to identify and quantify complications correlated to radical hysterectomy using the Wertheim-Meigs method. Surgery was performed in 223 cases due to cervical cancer, in 13 cases due to endometrial cancer, in 3 cases due to vaginal cancer and in 2 due to ovarian cancer with secondary extension to the uterus.

[Predictive factors of infantile cerebral lesions during pregnancy and labor].

The risks connected with children's cerebral lesions are examined by means of two different surveys related to a retrospective study over a period of about 10 years. One of these surveys is clinical and is based in the obstetric case history of children carrying psychomotor handicaps. The other survey is instrumental and concerns 100 cases of pathologic cardiotocography during labour associated with fetal suffering.
