Resultados: La episiotomía estuvo presente en 116 casos y 87 controles y presentó diferencia estadística significativa (p=0.001 e IC95%=1.349-3.337), OR de 2.12. El uretrocistocele se presentó en 60% de los casos, seguido de úterocele en 26.1% y rectocele en 13.9%. El antecedente de episiotomía en el grupo de cas...

La histerectomía es un procedimiento quirúrgico por el cual se extrae el útero de una mujer y es la segunda operación más practicada después de la cesárea en obstetricia. Los especialistas en ginecología han logrado grandes avances para realizar las intervenciones quirúrgicas en obstetricia con diagnóstico de atonía uterina, acretismo placentario, ruptura uterina y en mujeres con patología ginecológica como: endometriosis, prolapso de útero, cáncer de útero y miomatosis uterina. En los últimos años la histerectomía se ha tornado de suma importancia en la vida de las mujeres por ser una de las intervenciones quirúrgicas más realizadas, diversos autores han estudiado las incidencias que influyen y las causas más frecuentes para que se aplique este tipo de intervenciones quirúrgicas. Las mujeres por lo general desconocen las causas de histerectomía, no acuden a los e...

Objective: To determine our experience with laparoscopic hysterectomy. Design: Patients from private hospitals, attended from January 1997 to December 1999. Material and Methods: Fifty patients were subjected to laparoscopic hysterectomy, uterine arteries were sectioned and in many cases the cardinal ligaments were partially sectioned as well. The uterus was removed vaginally. Results: Eighteen of them (36%) had previously received estrogen therapy. Average age was 43 year-old, 6 of them (12%) nulliparous, the remainder (88%) had had a previous pregnancy, with an average number of 3,5 gestations. Surgical indications were uterine myomata, benign ovarian cysts, adenomyosis, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and entero-pelvic adhesions. Anteroposterior colpoperineorraphy was done in 16 patients (32%). Average surgery time was 103 minutes. Uterine weight ave...

The Peruvian Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (SPOG) was founded 70 years ago, in 1947, with the mission of contributing to the scientific progress in benefit of the Peruvian women. In 1955, the first number of The Peruvian Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics (RPGO), the official journal of SPOG, was published with the name Ginecología y Obstetricia [Ginecol Obstet, o Ginecol Obstet (Perú)] until 2006, when the name changed to Revista Peruana de Ginecología y Obstetricia (Rev Peru Ginecol Obstet). An account of the Society’s activities may be retrieved through the editorials and papers written from the beginning of RPGO, as we observe the desire of the SPOG directors to have an organ of scientific communication where the leading obstetricians and gynecologists would publish their medical experiences and outcomes, as a source of information for the younger physicians.
