Objective: To evaluate clinical and hormonal findings related to polycystic ovary. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Gynecology and Infertility Service, Arzobispo Loayza Hospital. Material and Methods: Hormonal profile was determined in 69 reproductive age patients with transvaginal ultrasound diagnosis of polycystic ovaries. Results: Patients presented oligoamenorrhea in 67,7%, infertility in 28,8%, hirsutism in 23,7% and body mass index > 25 in 42,4%. LH was elevated in 47,1 %, LH/FSH > 2 in 24,5% and high testosterone in 20,9 %. Sixty-four per cent of obese women presented oligoamenorrhea, 42,8% hirsutism, 50% infertility and 50% high LH. Conclusion: There was hormonal and clinical correlation with obesity in polycystic ovaries patients.

Objective: To determine the intrauterine growth retardation associated risk factors. Methods and design: Case control study in the obstetric service of Loayza Hospital during 1998. Of 396 alive neonates with intrauterine growth retardation, we took a representative sample (144). Maternal and perinatal Hospital Nacional natal indicators were evaluated. Results: Maternal age, prenatal control, preconceptional weight, maternal size, body mass index, maternal weight gain and hemoglobin during pregnancy do not show any significant differences. The most common associated pathologies concerning intrauterine growth retardation (p < 0,05) were multifetal gestotion, preeclampsia, uteroplacentol insufficiency, premature delivery and syphilis. The type of delivery was similar in both groups. Apgar score was significantly low in the cases, both atone and five minutes, without asphyxia compromise. Con...

OBJECTIVES.? To evaluate the obstetric and perinatal results in term patients with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) who were submitted for labor induction with oxytocin. MATERIAL AND METHODS.? Retrospective study done at the Arzobispo Loayza Hospital obstetrical service between April 1998 and March 1999 (1year), includes al1 term pregnant women with PROM who had labor induced with oxytocin. RESUL7S 324 patients (8, 1 %) presented PROM, 288 (88,9%) were term pregnancies and 89 fultilled the inclusion criteria. Vaginal delivery occurred in 76 patients (85,6%). Nine patients (10, 1 ?/o) had chorioamniotitis. Only 3 neonates presented Apgar score 4to 6, 10 (11,2%) qualified as potentially infected neonates and 14 (15,7%) presented signs of neonatal sepsis. The final evolution was satisfactory in all cases. CONCLUSIONS.? Induction of labor with oxytocin showed favorable results in 85% of...

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of low dose salicylic acid acetate (aspirin) in preeclampsia prevention. Design: Clinical randomized trial. Setting: Loayza General Hospital Obstetrical Service. Material and methods: Forty-three primigravidae less than 20 weeks pregnant with hypocalciuria received 100 mg/d of salicylic acid acetate. Other 43 primigravidae with similar clinical characteristics were controls. Results: The incidence of preeclampsia was 16,3% in both groups. Conclusion: The use of low dose salicylic acid acetate did not change the incidence of preeclampsia in this group of patients.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the maternal characteristics with statistical probabilities of association with neo natal infection in patients rum premature rupture of membranes (PROM), both at term, as premature. Evaluate the perinatal morbidity and mortality MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective observational study, case-control (infected-no newborn infected) between April 1998 and March 1999, according to protocol established in the Department of Obstetrics Loayza Hospital, entering pregnant with a single fetus, active, without fever and diagnosed with RPM. RESULTS: Of 3985 deliveries, 284 had RPM: 263 were to term and 21 preterm; 8 infants were not assessed (transferred by malformations, four mature, four premature). 259 pregnancies to term 42 infants were infected (16.2%) and 17 premature 11 were infected (64.7%). In term pregnancies, unmarried marital status was statistically significant i...

Introduction: The surgical management of stress urinary incontinence uses the transobturator tape (TOT) technique since 2006. We present a study applying the suburethral tape as a better alternative that does not require the TOT needle. Objective: To demonstrate the advantages of the suburethral tape placement technique over the transobturator tape technique in the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Methods: Observational comparative study using the noninvasive suburethral tape placement versus the transobturator tape technique. Results: Fifty patients were treated with TOT for stress urinary incontinence and other 50 patients were managed with suburethral tape placement (UTP) in the previous shift the same day or the preceding day. The TOT patients were 56 years old on average, and time of the procedure was 18 minutes on average. Complications included pain in the inguin...
