The authors analyse in retrospect a continuous series of 208 hysterectomies, for lesions other than invasive cancer, in order to try to define precise objective criteria for the choice of the vaginal way.

Background: It has been recognized that the type of anesthetic and analgesic technique and the relative pain degree may have an influence on hyperglycemic-stress response to surgery. This comparative study aimed to assess glucose levels in both mothers and infants during normal vaginal delivery. This study aimed to investigate this stress response between mothers who received parenteral analgesia versus epidural analgesia (EA) as an objective reflection for pain response.

Background: Women who are pregnant again after a prior cesarean section are faced with the choice between a vaginal trial and another cesarean section.
