Endometriosis is the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a well-known cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility in women. Endometriosis of the appendix is rare and may present with acute or chronic abdominal pain. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The definitive diagnosis is usually established following histopathological examination of the appendix. The authors report a case of ileus at the ground of adhesions formed due to appendiceal endometriosis clinically presented with recurrent attacks of abdominal pain in the eight month of pregnancy after laparoscopic removal of the ovarian endometriosis. © 2019 S.O.G.

Maternal mortality related to obstetric events is still high today. The main components of reproductive health are evaluated. Early diagnosis of the obstetric risks can significantly reduce maternal mortality.

Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to analyze maternal mortality in Republic of Serbia. Materials and Methods: Maternal mortality in Republic of Serbia was analysed in two periods, 2007-2011 and 2012-2016. Sources of data for this analysis were: Population statistics notices of Statistical Office of Serbia and Health Statistical Yearbooks of Republic of Serbia Institute of Public Health of Serbia “Dr. Milan Jovanovic Batut”. Results: Maternal mortality ratio in Serbia, although relatively high, in the last six years shows a declining trend (from 14.9 in 2012 to 10.8 per 100,000 live births in 2016). Conclusion: To promote and preserve the health of women of childbearing age, it is necessary to insure greater social and economic security of all women, especially in the period of maternity, pro-natal policy of the state, and the protection of the family. A significant reduction in maternal mortality can be achieved by early diagnosis, prompt treatment, and rehabilitation after certain illnesses. © 2019 S.O.G. CANADA Inc.. All rights reserved.
