Vaginal evisceration long after vaginal hysterectomy.

BACKGROUND: Vaginal evisceration can take place many years after vaginal surgery. CASE: An 87-year-old woman presented with evisceration of small bowel through the vagina, 15 years after she underwent a vaginal hysterectomy. On physical examination, her vital signs were normal. Forty centimeters of small bowel was visible emerging from the vagina, appearing viable and nonedematous. Because of the high surgical risk, the bowel was replaced and the defect in the vaginal wall was repaired transvaginally. CONCLUSION: Vaginal evisceration can be treated by a transvaginal surgical approach. Factors such as the medical condition of the patient and the viability of the herniated viscus should dictate the optimal approach in each case.

The influence of maternal exercise on placental blood flow measured by Simultaneous Multigate Spectral Doppler Imaging (SM-SDI)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of maternal isometric exercise on the placental blood flow as reflected by the velocimetric indices PI and RI derived from placental arteries. SUBJECTS: Thirty-four healthy women with normal singleton pregnancies between 22 and 35 weeks of gestation. METHODS: All subjects underwent an isometric handgrip exercise test. Maternal blood pressure and heart rate together with placental PI and RI were measured at rest, during the exercise and in the post-exercise recovery phase. All Doppler measurements were obtained using the Simultaneous Multigate Spectral Doppler Imaging (SM-SDI) technique, a new ultrasound modality that enables a Doppler study of multiple locations to take place within a very short time. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the mean values of the maternal blood pressure and heart rate during the exercise and a significant decline in the recovery phase. There was no significant change in the mean values of the Doppler indices throughout the examination. CONCLUSION: Isometric handgrip exercise test during pregnancy does not affect the impedance of the placental circulation.
