[Lessons and impact of two audits on postpartum hemorrhages in 24 maternity hospitals of the network "Sécurité Naissance - Naître Ensemble" in "Pays-de-la-Loire" area].
The aim of the study is to assess the compliance rate of treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) according to guidelines developed by the CNGOF within our network by a first audit, and evaluate the impact of this first audit by conducting a second audit. ⋯ There is a general improvement in prevention and care, with critical points and persistent disparities between pregnancies. In the aftermath of the completion of the audit, the overall results were sent to officials with the rank of each maternity, inviting each responsible to analyze weaknesses and implement corrective actions. Further action is planned within the network.

Review[Fertility preservation in cancer women: a multidisciplinary approach].

As a consequence, the number of long-term survivors is increasing, and fertility preservation has become a major issue for young patient about to start treatment for cancer. ⋯ Patients should be aware that no method guarantees success. Psychological and ethical impacts of fertility preservation are major concerns and should be included in the multidisciplinary approach of the patients.

Review[Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy and survival of patients treated for an advanced ovarian cancer: the CARACO trial].
The standard management for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer is optimum cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum based chemotherapy. However, retroperitoneal lymph node resection remains controversial. The multiple directions of the lymph drainage pathway in ovarian cancer have been recognized. ⋯ Further randomised trials are needed to balance risks and benefits of systematic lymphadenectomy in advanced-stage disease. CARACO is a French ongoing trial, built to bring a reply to this important question. A huge effort for inclusion of the patients, and involving new teams, are mandatory.
