Cesarean section has become recently the first choice for delivery in many clinics in Romania and worldwide. The purpose of our study is to assess the benefits of introducing the adapted Vejnovic uterine suture technique into daily practice.A total of 1703 out of the 1776 cesarean section performed in the period January, 2012 - March, 2013 in the Obstetric Department of the Emergency Clinical County Hospital of Arad were retrospectively analyzed based on the cesarean section registries, birth registries and patient's personal medical records. We compared results between the group of patients undergoing adapted Vejnovic cesarean section technique and the group of patients operated in a classic manner.The cesarean section rate in the studied period was 56.48%. Adapted Vejnovic cesarean section technique was performed in 548 cases (30.86% of the cases), furthermore in the last 3 months studied it reached 57.27%. Mean APGAR score was better in the adapted Vejnovic cesarean section group (8.43) compared with the reference group (8.34). No significant differences were seen between the two groups regarding maternal age, gestation, weeks of gestation, newborn weight, anesthesia and indications for cesarean section. Exteriorizing the uterus helped the incidental diagnosis of 35 uterine myoma, 22 adnexal masses and 13 uterine malformations.In a society with a constant growth of cesarean rate, the adapted Vejnovic cesarean section technique is becoming popular amongst clinicians for its advantages, but further studies need to be developed for its standardization.

This study intends to analyze some statistical data concerning Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia diagnosed in our hospital.Our study concerning the incidence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) covers the 2000-2009 time-span, the data being collected from the Histopathology Exams (HPE) registers.During this period, CIN lesions were discovered in 1256 cases and Cervical Intraglandular Dysplasia (CIGD) in 53 cases. CIN I, CIN II and CIN III lesions represented 65.92%(828 cases), 19.67% (247 cases), and 14.41% (181 cases) of the total CIN cases, respectively. There were 26 cases combined with cervical carcinoma (2.07% of all CIN cases, 3.56% of the 731 cervical cancer cases). The mean patients' age was 44.65± 9.83 years for all cervical dysplasia cases, 44.58± 9.75 years for all CIN cases, 43.81±9.22, 46.50±10.17, and 45.46±11.05 years for CIN I, CIN II, and CIN III, respectively, and 46.45 ± 11.63 years for CIGD. The t-test revealed the following significant differences: all cases versus CIN I (p0.05) and CIN II (p0.01), CIGD versus CIN I (p0.05), all cases versus CIN II (p0.01), CIN I versus CIN II (p0.0001) and versus CIN III (p0.05). The mean age of the 731 cervical cancer cases diagnosed in our hospital during that same period was 52.94±12.96 years,and it was statistically significantly different from the mean ages of patients with CIN I, II and III (p0.00000001) and with CIGD (p0.0005).Early detection of CIN is of utmost importance for preventing cervical cancer, a serious and frequent health problem in Romania.
