The concept of 'obstetrical medicine' was established in the late 19th century, but overshadowed during most of the 20th century by dramatic improvements in surgical, anesthetic, antimicrobial therapeutics, and obstetrical methods and practice.

Prophylactic and therapeutical interventions, at different stages, are therefore necessary to eliminate or, at least, decrease the incidence of this pathology. Between 1975 and 1980, during a cytologic depistage carried out at the Institute of Gynecologic and Obstretic Clinic of Padua University, we examined 72 cases of patients who had undergone the following diagnostic iter: colposcopy, cytology, direct biopsy and conization...

Perinatal and neonatal mortality rates are considered to be among the most sensitive measures available for monitoring the health of population and consequently have been assumed, too, to reflect primarily the capacity of the obstetricians and pediatricians. Perinatal mortality is here defined as stillbirths (or late fetal deaths) plus early neonatal deaths, that is, it includes fetuses born dead after 28 completed weeks of pregnancy and liveborn infants who died before the completion of the first week after birth...
