Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Episiotomy scar may be the site of complications and result in wound dehiscence in the long term. The aim of this video article was to describe the surgical steps required to repair a right perineal defect after episiotomy using a V-Y advancement flap. METHOD Our patient had an episiotomy dehiscence that had already benefited from an end-to-end repair, but the perineal defect recurred. A V-Y advancement flap was performed. The first step of this surgery was to remove the episiotomy scar. A V-shaped flap was then created to fill the perineal defect. Upon advancement, the V flap was transformed in a Y shape and secured using tension-free absorbable sutures. CONCLUSION There was no flap necrosis, and the esthetic result was satisfactory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to compare the morbidity and long-term efficacy after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with and without robotic assistance. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of all laparoscopic or robotic sacrocolpopexies for POP-Q stage 2-4 vaginal prolapse performed between September 2015 and October 2018 in 2 Gynecologic Surgery Departments of France. Patients were separated into two groups: a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy group (LS) and a robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy group (RAS). The primary outcome measure was reoperation procedures for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse (POP). RESULTS Two hundred and fourteen patients were included, 160 patients (75%) in the LS group and 54 patients (25%) in the RAS group. After a mean follow-up of 32.8 months, reoperation rate for recurrent POP and the recurrent POP rate were greater in the RAS group (9.2% versus 1.2%, p = 0.01 and 25.9% versus 7.5%, p = 0.0003, respectively). No significant difference was found in terms of immediate intraoperative (3.1% versus 1.8%, p = 1) and postoperative complications (1.9% versus 1.8%, p = 1). On comparing the 2 groups by bivariate analysis, RAS significantly increased the odds of reoperation for POP recurrence (OR = 7.8 CI 95% [1.5-41.6], p = 0.02) and the odds of global reoperation (OR = 3.8 CI 95% [1.4-10.4], p = 0.0095). Similarly, multivariate logistic analysis showed that RAS increased the risks of global reoperation (OR = 3.8 CI 95% [1.3-10.6], p = 0.01) after controlling high-grade prolapse. CONCLUSION Robotic sacrocolpopexy does not appear to give long-term clinical benefits. Recurrent POP and reoperation procedures seem to be more frequent in case of robotic-assisted surgery.

Abstract
It is recommended to classify Borderline Ovarian Tumors (BOTs) according to the WHO classification. Transvaginal and suprapubic ultrasonography are recommended for the analysis of an ovarian mass (Grade A). In case of an undetermined ovarian lesion on ultrasonography, it is recommended to perform a pelvic MRI (Grade A) with a score for malignancy (ADNEX MR/O-RADS) (Grade C) included in the report and to formulate a histological hypothesis (Grade C). Pelvic MRI is recommended to characterize a tumor suspected of being BOT (Grade C). It is recommended to evaluate serum levels of HE4 and CA125 and to use the ROMA score for the diagnosis of indeterminate ovarian mass on imaging (grade A). If there is a suspicion of a mucinous BOT on imaging, serum levels of CA 19-9 may be proposed (Grade C). For Early Stages (ES) of BOT, if surgery without risk of tumor rupture is possible, laparoscopy with protected extraction is recommended over laparotomy (Grade C). For treatment of a bilateral serous ES BOT with a strategy to preserve fertility and/or endocrine function, bilateral cystectomy is recommended where possible (Grade B). For mucinous BOTs with a treatment strategy of fertility and/or endocrine function preservation, unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended (grade C). For mucinous BOTs treated by initial cystectomy, unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended (grade C). For serous or mucinous ES BOTs, routine hysterectomy is not recommended (Grade C). For ES BOTs, lymphadenectomy is not recommended (Grade C). For ES BOTs, appendectomy is recommended only in case of a macroscopically pathological appendix (Grade C). Restaging surgery is recommended in cases of serous BOTs with micropapillary architecture and an incomplete abdominal cavity inspection during initial surgery (Grade C). Restaging surgery is recommended for mucinous BOTs after initial cystectomy or in cases where the appendix was not examined (Grade C). If restaging surgery is decided for ES BOTs, the following procedures should be performed: peritoneal washing (grade C), omentectomy (grade B), complete exploration of the abdominal cavity with peritoneal biopsies (grade C), visualization of the appendix and appendectomy in case of a pathological macroscopic appearance (grade C) as well as unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in case of a mucinous BOT initially treated by cystectomy (grade C). In advanced stages (AS) of BOT, it is not recommended to perform a lymphadenectomy as a routine procedure (Grade C). For AS BOT in a patient with a desire to fall pregnant, conservative treatment involving preservation of the uterus and all or part of the ovary may be proposed (Grade C). Restaging surgery aimed at removing all lesions, not performed initially, is recommended for AS BOTs (Grade C). After treatment, follow-up for a duration greater than 5 years is recommended due to the median recurrence time of BOTs (Grade B). It is recommended that a systematic clinical examination be carried out during follow-up of a treated BOT (Grade B). If the determination of tumor markers is normal preoperatively, the routine dosage of tumor markers in BOT follow-up is not recommended (Grade C). In case of an initial elevation in serum CA 125 levels, it is recommended to monitor CA 125 during follow up (Grade B). In case of conservative treatment, it is recommended to use transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound during follow up of a treated BOT (Grade B). In the event of a BOT recurrence in a woman of childbearing age, a second conservative treatment may be proposed (Grade C). A consultation with a physician specialized in Assisted Reproductive Technique (ART) should be offered in the case of BOTs in women of childbearing age (Grade C). When possible, a conservative surgical strategy is recommended to preserve fertility in women of childbearing age (Grade C). In the case of optimally treated BOT, there is no evidence to contraindicate the use of ART. The use of hormonal contraception after serous or mucinous BOT is not contraindicated (Grade C). After management of mucinous BOT, for women under 45 years, given the benefit of Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) on cardiovascular and bone risks, and the lack of hormone sensitivity of mucinous BOTs, it is recommended to offer HRT (Grade C). Over 45 years of age, HRT can be prescribed in case of a climacteric syndrome after individual benefit to risk assessment (Grade C).

Abstract
The incidence (rate per 100 000) of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) increases progressively with age, starting at 15-19 years and peaking at around 4.5 cases per 100 000 at an age of 55-59 years (LE3) with a median age of 46 years. The five year survival for FIGO stages I, II, III and IV is 99.7 % (95 % CI: 96.2-100 %), 99.6 % (95 % CI: 92.6-100 %), 95.3 % (95 % CI: 91.8-97.4 %) and 77.1 % (95 % CI: 58.0-88.3 %), respectively (LE3). An epidemiological association exists between the individual risk of BOT and family history of BOT and certain other cancers (pancreatic, lung, bone, leukemia) (LE3), a personal history of benign ovarian cyst (LE2), a personal history of tubo-ovarian infection (LE3), the use of a levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LE3), oral contraceptive use (LE3), multiparity (LE3), Hormonal replacement therapy (LE3), high consumption of Coumestrol (LE4), medical treatment for infertility with progesterone (LE3) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use (LE3). Screening for BOTs is not recommended for patients (Grade C). The overall risk of recurrence of BOTs varies between 2% and 24 %, with an overall survival greater than 94 % at 10 years, and the risk of an invasive recurrence of a BOT ranges from 0.5 % to 3.8 %. The use of scores and nomograms can be useful in assessing the risk of recurrence, and providing patients with information (Grade C). The WHO classification is recommended for classifying BOTs. It is recommended that the presence of a microinvasive focus (<5 mm) and microinvasive carcinoma (<5 mm with an atypical nuclei and a desmoplastic stroma reaction) within a BOT be reported. In cases of serous BOT, it is recommended to specify the classic histological subtype or micropapillary / cribriform type (Grade C). When confronted with a BOT, it is recommended that the invasive or non-invasive nature of peritoneal implants can be investigated based solely on the invasion and destruction of underlying adipose or peritoneal tissue which has a desmoplastic stromal reaction where in contact with the invasive clusters (Grade B). For bilateral mucinous BOTs and / or in cases with peritoneal implants or peritoneal pseudomyxoma, it is recommended to also look for a primitive digestive or pancreato-biliary cancer (Grade C). It is recommended to sample ovarian tumors suspected of being BOTs by focusing samples on vegetations and solid components, with at least 1 sample per cm in tumors with a size less than 10 cm and 2 samples per cm in tumors with a size greater than 10 cm (Grade C). In cases of BOTs and in the absence of macroscopic omental involvement after careful macroscopic examination, it is recommended to perform at least 4-6 systematic sampling blocks and to include all peritoneal implants (Grade C). It is recommended to consult an expert pathologist in gynecology when a BOT suspicion requires intraoperative extemporaneous histology (grade C). Endo-vaginal and suprapubic ultrasonography are recommended for the analysis of an ovarian mass (Grade A). In case of an undetermined ovarian lesion on ultrasonography, it is recommended that a pelvic MRI be performed (Grade A). To analyze an adnexal mass with MRI, it is recommended to use an MRI protocol with T2, T1, T1 Fat Sat, dynamic and diffusion sequences as well as gadolinium injection (Grade B). To characterize an adnexal mass with MRI, it is recommended to include a score system for malignancy (ADNEX MR/O-RADS) (Grade C) in the report and to formulate a histological hypothesis (Grade C). Pelvic MRI is recommended to characterize a tumor suspected of being a BOT (Grade C). Macroscopic MRI features should be analyzed to differentiate BOT subtypes (Grade C). Pelvic ultrasound is the first-line examination for the detection and characterization of adnexal masses during pregnancy (Grade C). Pelvic MRI is recommended from 12 weeks of gestation in case of an indeterminate adnexal mass and should provide a diagnostic score (Grade C). Gadolinium injection must be minimized as fetal impairment has been proven (Grade C). It is recommended that serum levels of HE4 and CA125 be evaluated and that the ROMA score for the diagnosis of an indeterminate ovarian mass on imaging be used (grade A). In case of suspicion of a mucinous BOT on imaging, dosage of serum levels of CA 19-9 can be considered (Grade C). If the determination of tumor markers is normal preoperatively, routine dosage of tumor markers in BOT follow-up is not recommended (Grade C). In case of preoperative elevation in tumor markers, the determination of serum CA 125 levels is recommended in the follow-up of BOT (Grade B). When conservative treatment of a BOT has been adopted, the use of endovaginal and transabdominal ultrasonography is recommended during follow-up (Grade B).

Abstract
In the Early Stages (ES) of Borderline Ovarian Tumor (BOT), if surgery without risk of tumor rupture is possible, then laparoscopy with protected extraction is recommended over laparotomy (Grade C). In case of bilateral serous ES BOT treatment with a strategy to preserve fertility and/or endocrine function, bilateral cystectomy is recommended if possible (Grade B). In case of mucinous BOT treatment with a strategy to preserve fertility and/or endocrine function, unilateral adnexectomy is recommended (grade C). In the case of a mucinous BOT in a patient who has had an initial cystectomy, unilateral adnexectomy is recommended (grade C). In the case of treatment of a serous ES BOT in a patient who has had an initial cystectomy, with a strategy to preserve fertility and/or endocrine function, restaging surgery for adnexectomy is not recommended in the absence of suspicious residual lesions at the time of surgery and/or postoperative imaging (reference ultrasonography or pelvic MRI) (grade C). For serous or mucinous ES BOTs, routine hysterectomy is not recommended (Grade C). In cases of ES BOTs, lymphadenectomy is not recommended (Grade C). For ES BOTs, appendectomy is recommended only if there is a macroscopically pathological aspect to the appendix (Grade C). Restaging surgery is recommended in case of a serous BOT with a micropapillary aspect and an unsatisfactory inspection of the abdominal cavity during initial surgery (Grade C). Restaging surgery is recommended in cases of mucinous BOT if only a cystectomy has been performed or if the appendix has not been evaluated (Grade C). If restaging surgery is decided for an ES BOT, the following procedures should be performed: peritoneal cytology (grade C), omentectomy (there is no data in literature to recommend which type of omentectomy should be performed) (grade B), complete exploration of the abdominal cavity with peritoneal biopsies (grade C), visualization of the appendix +/- appendectomy in case of pathological macroscopic appearance (grade C) and unilateral adnexectomy in case of a mucinous BOT (grade C). In advanced stages of BOT it is not recommended to perform a lymphadenectomy as a routine procedure (Grade C). In cases of an advanced stage BOT, in a patient with a desire to fall pregnant, conservative treatment involving preservation of the uterus and all or part of the ovary may be proposed after a multidisciplinary meeting (Grade C). Second surgery aimed at removing all lesions, if not performed initially, is recommended in cases of advanced stage BOT (Grade C). It is not recommended to perform completion surgery after conservative treatment (preservation of the ovaries and the uterus) and after the achievement of fertility desire for a serous BOT (Grade B). After treatment for a BOT, follow-up beyond 5 years is recommended due to the median time to recurrence (Grade B). It is recommended that a systematic clinical examination be carried out during follow-up of a treated BOT (Grade B). In the particular case of an initial elevation of CA 125 levels, it is recommended to monitor CA 125 during follow up (Grade B). In cases treated conservatively (ovarian and uterine conservation), it is recommended to use endovaginal and transabdominal ultrasonography during the follow up period (Grade B). In the event of a recurrence of a BOT, in a woman of childbearing age, a conservative treatment strategy can again be proposed (Grade C). In the presence of non-invasive BOT implants, conservative treatment may be considered after a first non-invasive recurrence in women who wish to preserve their fertility (Grade C). Pelvic MRI is recommended after 12 weeks of amenorrhea in case of an undetermined adnexal mass and should be concluded with a diagnostic score (Grade C). The injection of gadolinium, in case of pregnancy, should be discussed on a case-by-case basis due to the proven risks for the foetus (Grade C). If feasible, a laparoscopic approach should be preferred during pregnancy (Grade C). A consultation with a specialist reproductive physician should be offered to patients with a BOT and of childbearing age (Grade C). It is recommended that patients be provided with full information on the risk of decreased ovarian reserve following to surgical treatment. It is recommended that the ovarian reserve be evaluated prior to surgical management of a suspected BOT (Grade C). When possible, a conservative surgical strategy is recommended to preserve fertility in women of childbearing age (Grade C). There is no specific data on the management of infertility following to conservative treatment of BOT. In case of durable infertility following to conservative treatment of BOT, a consultation with a specialist reproductive physician is required (Grade C). In the case of optimally treated BOT, there is no evidence in literature to contraindicate the use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). The use of hormonal contraception after serous or mucinous BOT is not contraindicated (Grade C). After treatment of a mucinous BOT, for women aged under 45 years, given the benefit of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on cardiovascular and bone risks, and the lack of hormone-sensitivity of mucinous BOTs, it is recommended to offer HRT (Grade C). After treatment of a mucinous BOT, for women over 45 years of age, there is no argument to contraindicate the use of HRT. HRT can be prescribed in case of a climacteric syndrome, as part of an individual benefit to risk assessment (Grade C).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In 5 % of vaginal deliveries in case of cephalic presentation there is a persistent occipital posterior position known to be associated with a higher maternal and neonatal morbidity. In these situations, vacuum extractor seems to be the best choice for assisted delivery but it also has limits and contraindications, for example an important caput succadenum or premature birth. The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate of intra-pelvic rotation of persistent occipital posterior position without instrumental rotation in case of operative delivery with spatulas. METHODS This is a retrospective, monocentric and descriptive study evaluating the rate of spontaneous intra-pelvic rotation of persistent occipital posterior position in case of assisted delivery with spatulas among all live births at the Besançon University Medical Center between 2010 and 2017. RESULTS There were 20 205 births during the study and 81(0,4 %) operative deliveries by spatulas in case of persistent occipital posterior position. Delivery in occiput anterior (OA) position was obtained in 36 cases (44.4 %). There was no significant difference in maternal or neonatal morbidity between both groups and perineum injuries were less severe in case of OA delivery. CONCLUSION Operative deliveries by spatulas without instrumental rotation in case of persistent occipital-posterior position seem to be a relevant alternative to vacuum extractor, especially in case of premature birth or important caput succedaneum without altering the maternal or neonatal prognostic.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of a selective use of episiotomy combined with Couder's maneuver on the incidence of perineal tears in spontaneous term deliveries. METHODS A comparative, retrospective, mono-centric study in a university maternity unit was designed and included all primiparous women who delivered spontaneously after 37 weeks of gestation in cephalic presentation. Two cohorts were studied, before and after the practice of Couder's maneuver. In the first cohort, the ''OSE cohort'' only selective episiotomies were performed from January 2009 to December 2010. In the second cohort, from January 2016 to December 2017, the ''SEC cohort'' selective episiotomies combined with Couder's maneuver were performed by midwives and obstetricians. The primary outcome was the type of perineal tears, according to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) classification. RESULTS A total of 2081 patients were included: 909 patients in the OSE cohort and 1172 patients in the SEC cohort. Couder's maneuver was performed in 59% of the SEC cohort. In the SEC cohort, there were an increase in the number of intact perinea (55% versus 63%, p < 0.001), a decrease in second-degree perineal tears (18% versus 11%, p < 0.001) and a decrease in labia minora tears (48% versus 37%, p < 0.001). The rate of obstetrical anal sphincter injuries was less than 1% in both cohorts (0.3% versus 0.5%, p = 0.7). CONCLUSION A selective use of episiotomy combined with Couder's maneuver could reduce the incidence of perineal tears, particularly second-degree perineal tears, without increasing the rate of obstetrical anal sphincter injuries.

Abstract
The Odon Device™ has been described in the literature since 2013 and the World Health Organization supports its development through the Human Reproduction Program. This innovative device could be easier to use than usual instruments and could be an alternative to caesarean section during the second stage of labor, especially in countries where access to obstetric care is limited. The aim of the Odon Device™ is to position an air cuff over the fetal head, past its widest point (around the level of the fetal mouth anteriorly and the nape of the fetal neck posteriorly). Three mechanical principles favor the progression of the fetal head with the Odon Device™: partial propulsion, limited flexion and traction. Preliminary clinical studies on animals and simulators are reassuring and show that an appropriate use is no more at risk than the vaccum or forceps. A phase 1 study was conducted in Argentina and South Africa between 2011 and 2017. The reported failure rate was 29%, of which 77% was secondary to a mechanical failure of one of the components of the device. Improvements concerning the applicator, the handles and the inflatable air cuff have been made to the device. Phase II of the clinical research program began in 2018 and includes two studies in two different centers: The ASSIST Study in Bristol, England, and The BESANCON ASSIST Study, Besançon, France.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety and the benefits of manual rotation in the management of Occiput-posterior positions in 2019. METHODS A systematic review of literature was performed using the MEDLINE and COCHRANE LIBRARY databases, in order to identify articles concerning maternal and neonatal outcomes after a manual rotation, through January 2019. Information on study characteristics (review, author, year of publication), population, objectives and main neonatal and maternal outcomes were extracted. RESULTS A total of 51 articles were identified and 12 articles were selected for the systematic review. The rate of successful manual rotation were about 47 to 90%. There were more success if systematic manual rotation, multiparity, engagement, spontaneous labour and maternal age<35. The 2nd stage of labour was shorter after an attempt of manual rotation. The randomised controlled trials did not find any statistical difference concerning operative deliveries or neonatal and maternal outcomes. CONCLUSION The manual rotation is an obstetrical manoeuvre which must be regulated and only practiced by trained operators. Currently, the state of science is not sufficient to recommend the manual rotation as a systematic practice in 2019.

Abstract
Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate the impact of active delivery of the anterior arm with Couder's Maneuver (CM) during vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery (VAVD) on perineal tears. This maneuver can be beneficial because it has the advantage of reducing fetal biacromial diameter.Methods: This monocentric retrospective study compared two non-concurrent cohorts of nulliparous women before and after implementation of a systematic CM during VAVD: Cohort 1 from 1 January to 31 December 2006 without CM and Cohort 2 from 1 January to 31 December 2016 with systematic CM. This study reviewed all births during these two periods. All live-born singleton pregnancies where VAVD occurred after 37 weeks of gestation were included. The principal endpoint was the type of perineal tear.Results: In total, there were 179 VAVD in the Cohort 1 and 267 VAVD in the Cohort 2. In the Cohort 2, 233 VAVD (87.3%) were performed with systematic CM. No episiotomy was performed in both cohorts. There was a significant decrease in the rate of second-degree perineal tears between the two cohorts (42.4 versus 15%, p < .001) and a significant increase in the rate of intact perineum (34.1 versus 54.7%, p < .001). There was no influence of CM on the rate of obstetrical anal sphincter injury (3.9 versus 2.6%, p = .44).Conclusions: Practicing this maneuver could improve the perineal prognosis during VAVD in nulliparous women.

Abstract
We report a case of prenatal exposure to angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARA
II) from the beginning of pregnancy in a patient with a hypokinetic dilated
cardiomyopathy. This case report emphasizes the fetal renal impact of prolonged
intrauterine exposure to renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers, and highlights
that this exposure can cause severe prenatal hypocalvaria. This delayed
ossification can be reversible after birth, but the presence of anhydramnios
indicates an early and irreversible block of RAS blockers in the fetus that is
responsible for fetal kidney development abnormalities. This association carries
a high risk of neonatal death. Prolonged exposure to ARA II or other RAS
blockers remains prohibited throughout pregnancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To evaluate the impact of the mode of delivery of twin pregnancies with the first twin in breech position for all parities combined after introduction of a policy of planned caesarean section in 38 weeks' gestation in nulliparas. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study of the mode of delivery of twin pregnancies with the first twin in breech position was conducted from January 2007 to December 2015 after the implementation of a planned caesarean section in 38 weeks' gestation in nulliparas. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared according to the decision of attempted vaginal or planned caesarean delivery. RESULTS Among the 134 women included, an attempted vaginal delivery was decided for 30.6% women (n = 41), with 95% (n = 39) who delivered vaginally and 5% (n = 2) by caesarean section during labour. Among the 69.4% women (n = 93) with a planned caesarean section, 64.5% (n = 60) and 11.8% (n = 11) delivered by caesarean before labour and during labour, respectively, and 23.7% (n = 22) delivered vaginally. The overall vaginal delivery rate was 45.5%, and the overall rate of caesarean section was 54.5% for all parities combined. In nulliparous women, the rate of caesarean section during labour was 33%. There were no significant differences in maternal mortality or morbidity between the two groups. CONCLUSION A selective policy of attempted vaginal delivery based on parity for twin pregnancies with the first twin in breech position can lead to a reduction in the overall rate of caesarean section in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective for all obstetricians and midwifes who intervene during the release of the fetal presentation is to prevent at best the perineal lesions. This work consisted in analyzing the literature, researching and evaluating interventions that reduce this perineal risk during the release. METHODS A keyword search for each medical intervention during the expulsion phase was conducted by selecting studies assessing perineal risk. Interventions during pregnancy and during delivery before the expulsion phase were specifically addressed in other sections of the recommendations. RESULTS Firstly, the degree of perineal stretching during the second stage of labour does not appear to be a risk factor for OASIS, postpartum incontinence, or sexual disorders (LE3) and that a substantial stretching of the perineum is not an indication of episiotomy (Professional consensus). Then, manual control of the expulsion of the fetus at the end of the second stage of labour and support of the posterior perineum during this time appear to reduce the rate of OASIS (LE3). The crowning of the baby's head should be manually controlled and the posterior perineum manually supported manually to reduce the risk of OASIS (GradeC). There is no recognised benefit to episiotomy in normal deliveries (LE1); the liberal practice of episiotomy results in fewer intact perineums than its restrictive practice, and the latter does not result in increasing the number of cases of OASIS. No evidence indicates that an episiotomy for women with a breech presentation, twin pregnancy, or posterior position prevents OASIS (LE3). Indication for episiotomy during delivery depends on individual risk factors and obstetric conditions (Professional consensus). It is recommended that the indication for episiotomy be explained and the woman's consent received before its performance. The performance of an episiotomy during normal deliveries is not recommended to reduce the risk of OASIS (Grade A). The liberal practice of episiotomy to prevent OASIS is not recommended for women with a breech presentation, twin pregnancy, or posterior position (GradeC). Episiotomy during an instrumental delivery appears to be associated with a reduction of the risk of OASIS (LE3). The vacuum extractor appears to induce fewer cases of OASIS than other instruments (LE3). Episiotomy may be indicated in instrumental deliveries to avoid OASIS (GradeC). Training in perineal protection in obstetrics is recommended (Grade B). In operative vaginal deliveries when several instruments can be used, a vacuum extractor is preferentially recommended to reduce the risk of OASIS (GradeC). When forceps or spatulas are used, it is preferable that they be withdrawn just before cephalic deflexion so that the fetal head is not "capped" with these instruments at birth (Professional consensus). Couder's maneuver, which consists of lowering the forearm during the release of the fetal shoulders, appears to decrease the rate of second-degree perineal tears and increase the rate of intact perineum (LE3). CONCLUSION Manual control of the expulsion and perineal support reduce the risk of perineal injury. There is no benefit to episiotomy in normal delivery, nor in special cases such the breech presentation for example. On the other hand, in case of instrumental delivery, an episiotomy may be indicated to avoid OASIS (GradeC), and it is recommended if it is possible to use the ventouse preferentially. The Couder's maneuver seems to reduce the rate of 2nd degree perineal lesions (LE3). Finally, training in perineal obstetric protection is recommended (Grade B).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Operative Vaginal Delivery (OVD) is subject to a risk of perineal tears especially of Obstetrical Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIS) that are associated with more complications and impaired quality of life. The main objective of this study was to compare the rate of OASIS in primipara at term with fetus in cephalic presentation depending on the type of delivery: OVD using vacuum extractor and spontaneous delivery. METHODS This is a single-center retrospective study between 01/01/2010 and 12/31/2014 including all primipara who delivered vaginally at term, a single and living fetus in cephalic presentation. Perineal lesions were classified according to the WHO classification. The primary endpoint was the proportion of OASIS. RESULTS 3552 patients were included: 2496 spontaneous deliveries (SD) and 1056 OVD (29.72 %). There were twenty sphincter tears (0.56 %): 7 in SD group (0.28 %) and 13 in OVD (1.23 %), P<0.0001, OR=5.10 [2.00; 12.99]. Other risk factors associated with OASIS in univariable analysis were: maternal age (≥30 years), duration of expulsive efforts (≥20min) and a birth weight≥4000g. CONCLUSION In these patients, the risk of OASIS in case of AI increases by a factor of 5;10. The high rate of AI in these patients exposes them to a real risk of OASIS. However, the proportion of OASIS in this group remains lower than those reported in the literature and is barely higher than the national overall rate, despite a very restrictive policy of the use of episiotomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nomograms are statistical models that combine variables to obtain the most accurate and reliable prediction for a particular risk. Fetal heart rate (FHR) interpretation alone has been found to be poorly predictive for fetal acidosis while other clinical risk factors exist. The aim of this study was to create and validate a nomogram based on FHR patterns and relevant clinical parameters to provide a non-invasive individualized prediction of umbilical artery pH during labour. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study was conducted on 4071 patients in labour presenting singleton pregnancies at >34 gestational weeks and delivering vaginally. Clinical characteristics, FHR patterns and umbilical cord gas of 1913 patients were used to construct a nomogram predicting an umbilical artery (Ua) pH <7.18 (10th centile of the study population) after an univariate and multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis. External validation was obtained from an independent cohort of 2158 patients. Area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the nomogram were determined. RESULTS Upon multivariate analysis, parity (p < 0.01), induction of labour (p = 0.01), a prior uterine scar (p = 0.02), maternal fever (p = 0.02) and the type of FHR (p < 0.01) were significantly associated with an Ua pH <7.18 (p < 0.05). Apgar score at 1, 5 and 10 min were significantly lower in the group with an Ua pH <7.18 (p < 0.01). The nomogram constructed had a Concordance Index of 0.75 (area under the curve) with a sensitivity of 57%, a specificity of 91%, a negative predictive value of 5% and a positive predictive value of 99%. Calibration found no difference between the predicted probabilities and the observed rate of Ua pH <7.18 (p = 0.63). The validation set had a Concordance Index of 0.72 and calibration with a p < 0.77. CONCLUSION We successfully developed and validated a nomogram to predict Ua pH by combining easily available clinical variables and FHR. Discrimination and calibration of the model were statistically good. This mathematical tool can help clinicians in the management of labour by predicting umbilical artery pH based on FHR tracings.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION 2-D ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) could be considered as a new noninvasive tool for monitoring fetal lung development based on evaluation of mechanical properties during pregnancy. Interesting results are available concerning the use of SWE on developing organs, especially on premature infants and animal models. The main objective in this study is to evaluate the feasibility of 2-D SWE in human fetal lungs between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation (WG). The secondary objective is to modellise fetal lung-to-liver elastography ratio (LLE ratio) and to assess variations between normal lung and lung surfactant-enriched after a corticosteroids course indicated for a threatened preterm labour (TPL). METHODS/DESIGN A prospective case-control study will be performed between 24 and 34 WG. Fetal lungs and liver will be explored by SWE into two groups: fetuses of women with an uncomplicated pregnancy (control group) and fetuses of women with a TPL requiring administration of corticosteroids (cases group). LLE ratio will be defined as the value of the lung elasticity divided by the value of the liver elasticity.Primary judgement criterion is the value of elasticity modulus expressed in kilopascal. Lungs and liver will be explored through three measurements to define the most reproducible regions with the lowest intra- and inter-observer variability. Feasibility will be evaluated by assessing the number of examinations performed and the number of examinations with interpretable results. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility will be evaluated by means of the intra-class correlation coefficient. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval of the study protocol was obtained from the human ethical research committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes EST II, process number 15/494) and the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (process number 2015-A01575-44). All participants will sign a statement of informed consent. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02870608; Recruiting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluate the feasibility of active delivery of the anterior arm during spontaneous delivery. This maneuver could decrease incidence of second-degree perineal tears because it reduces fetal biacromial diameter. METHODS An observational comparative prospective study was conducted at our teaching maternity from July 2012 to March 2013. The study included 199 nulliparous women ≥18 years, who met the following criteria: singleton pregnancy, vaginal delivery with occiput anterior presentation, on epidural analgesia, from 37 weeks of gestation onward. The distribution of rate and type of perineal tears were compared between two groups: a non-exposed group and a group exposed to the maneuver. RESULTS A total of 101 patients were exposed to Couder's maneuver (CM) and 98 patients were not exposed. In the intervention group, 3 failures of the maneuver were reported. The maneuver was considered easy in 80% of cases, moderately easy in 12% and difficult in 8% of cases. There was a significant difference (p = 0.03) in the distribution of perineal tears between the two groups. There was a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in the number of second-degree perineal tears in the patients exposed to CM. There was no significant difference in the rate of anterior perineal trauma between the exposed and non-exposed arms. CONCLUSIONS CM in primiparous women at term is feasible with a low failure rate and influences the distribution of perineal tears by lowering second-degree perineal tears in a highly significant manner (p <0.01).

Abstract
Malignant melanoma represents 3% of cancers at the woman. The metastatic gynecological localization are rare and ovary is an exceptional site. Prognosis of metastatic ovary malignant melanoma is pejorative (5% 5 years survival). We report a case observed in a 65-year-old patient, who developed 2 melanomas of the left leg and presented a right ovarian tumor during a supervision tomodensitometric 7 years after diagnostic initial. The immunohistochemical assays after annexectomy confirmed the diagnostic of ovarian metastasis. To evoke an ovarian metastasis localization of a malignant melanoma in front of the increasing incidence is a decisive for prognosis.
