The content of microbes in the cavity of the pregnant uterus could have been detected by Albert (Arch. F. G., Bd. 125, H. 3) during an abortion by a small Caesar section. The author believes that the vagina always contains microbes that can infect the cervix and the uterine cavity at any time; in some cases, this infection, after a short and mild acute period, can go into a latent state, during which pregnancy is possible.

We report perforations of a pregnant uterus during laparoscopy for suspected internal herniation after gastric bypass at 24 weeks of gestation. Abdominal access and gas insufflation were achieved by the use of a 12 mm optic trocar. An additional 5 mm trocar was positioned. The perforations were handled by suturing following laparotomy and mobilisation of the high located uterus. The uterine fundus was located in the subcostal area. Internal herniation was not verified. A cesarean section was made 6 weeks later due to acute low abdominal pain. During delivery the uterus was found normal. At 5 months of age the child has developed normal and seems healthy. Optical trocars should be used with caution for abdominal access during laparoscopy in pregnancy. Open access should probably be preferred in most cases. Accidental perforations of the uterine cavity may be handled in selected cases with simple closure even following the use of large trocars under close postoperative surveillance throughout the pregnancy.

Obstetric fistula usually originates from obstructed labor or, less often, from invasive maneuvers on the genital tract or the pregnant uterus. Overall, it is a rare finding in the obstetric practice of high income countries. In this report we describe the case of a successful term pregnancy in a patient with a history of recurrent late miscarriage due to a large cervical fistula of traumatic origin, connecting the uterine cavity and the posterior vaginal fornix. A combined approach of laparoscopic cerclage and transvaginal fistula repair effectively restored cervical competence and created the conditions for a viable birth in a subsequent pregnancy. This unusual cause of cervical incompetence may be included in the indications which benefit from an abdominal cerclage carried out as a minimally invasive procedure in the nonpregnant state.

Recent ultrastructural studies on endometrial tissues from women wearing copper, wire intrauterine devices have disclosed morphological evidence of impaired glycogen degradation and secretion resulting in interference with the viability of blastocysts. Reduced microapocrine secretion observed with the scanning electron microscope supports this (1). In addition, organelle modifications have been observed in the epithelial cells of these women. The changes are seen in biopsies taken in the proliferative phase of the cycle and consist of mitochondrial vacuolation and myelin figure formation. These modifications disappear in the secretory phase and therefore have been regarded as reversible (2).The aim of the present studies was to investigate surface epithelial changes as well as organelle modifications in relation to the site of contact with an IUD that releases greater amounts of copper. Endometrial tissue was obtained from the uterine cavity of four young women wearing TCu-380-A intrauterine contraceptive devices for 4-6 weeks.

Objective: To report a case of Ectopic pregnancy with implant receptorsMaterials and Methods: This article describes the case of a 41-year-old woman, diagnosed with an Ectopic Pregnancy on the gravid G5P4A0H4 11-12 weeks. Patients are using implant contraception, which has been used since 2009-2018 (3 installations). The patient came to the obstetrics and gynecology clinic Dr. M. Djamil Padang. The ultrasound gives the impression of Ectopic pregnancy in the infindibule tube. Analysis Ectopic pregnancy can also occur due to the influence of hormonal contraceptive use (progesterone).Results: Patient gets intervention performed laparotomy After the peritoneum is opened it appears fresh red blood amounting to ± 500 cc filling the abdominal cavity. Blood evacuation and exploration are performed, it appears that the source of bleeding originates from the left tubal rupture (Infundibulum) Impression of the left tubal rupture (Infundibulum) ecectic ectopic pregnancy is impaired. Sinistal salpingectomy is performed.Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy Ectopic pregnancy is all pregnancies where the ovum fertilized by spermatozoa implant and grows outside the uterine cavity endometrial.
