Operative Obstetrics

The ten years since the first edition of Operative Obstetrics have witnessed considerable changes in obstetric practice. There has been a continued increase in the rate of cesarean delivery, and the use of minimally-invasive surgery has rapidly gained popularity. Social changes affecting practice have also been significant, prompting a reevaluation of the appropriateness of certain types of operations during pregnancy. This fully-updated edition includes chapters on cesarean delivery, birth injury, ectopic pregnancy, and common surgical complications. It features a new discussion of surgical procedures performed by non-physicians and an updated treatment of fetal surgery. The text also considers complicated and controversial subjects such as cervical insufficiency,pregnancy termination, instrumental delivery, and shoulder dystocia. Each of the four sections includes an in-depth analysis of the important ethical and legal issues underlying practice for the area in question. An expanded appendix reviews legal concepts pertinent to practitioners in the field of obstetrics.

Traumatic Ulcer

An ulcer by definition is a localized area on the skin or mucosa in which the surface epithelium has been destroyed. The shape and size of traumatic ulcers are so variable as to defy a simple description. They are usually painful and of short duration.

Etiology: Common causes of traumatic ulcers include: denture irritation, biting injuries, hard foods, chemicals, toothbrush and dry cotton rolls.

Treatment: The treatment is to remove the cause if it is known. Relief of pain can be achieved with topical anesthetics such as Orabase with Benzocaine.
Prognosis: The ulcer should heal if the cause is removed. An ulcer which does not heal within two to three weeks should be biopsied to rule out malignancy.

Differential diagnosis: Traumatic ulcers must be differentiated from squamous carcinoma and ulcerative mucosal diseases such as lichen planus.
