[Intraoperative complications of 697 consecutive operative hysteroscopies].
Complications due to hysteroscopy are relatively rare events. They occur more frequently with operative hysteroscopy than with diagnostic hysteroscopy. Exact complications rates are difficult to determine owing to the natural tendency to report successes but not complications. Recognition of these situations will lead to prevention; in fact, all the most serious complications of operative hysteroscopy can be avoided when proper precautions are taken and close communication is maintained among gynecologic surgeon, the anesthesiologist and nursing staff. The more clinically significant complications are: uterine perforation, haemorrhage and electrolyte imbalance. ⋯ Our relatively high prevalence of intraoperative complications and distribution of the different types do not differ from the findings of published reports. In personal experience operative hysteroscopy is a safe surgical procedure for the treatment of endouterine abnormalities.

Case Reports[Meigs' syndrome and "Meigs' pseudo-syndrome." Report of 2 cases].
The aim of this study is to investigate similitudis and differences between the Meigs' syndrome and Meigs' pseudosyndrom. The Meigs' syndrome is an uncommon disease that is characterized by benign ovarian tumor, ascites and pleural effusion. The Meigs' pseudosyndrom is a serious disease that is characterized by malignant ovarian tumor, ascites, pleural effusion. ⋯ This study suggest that the surgical therapy have a very important role for the complete remission of the disease in the Meigs' syndrome and for the remission of ascites and pleural effusion in the Meigs' pseudosyndrom.
