Abstract
According to the Croatian Medical Chamber report, gynecological emergencies and especially obstetrical emergencies are listed among five most urgent medical states, essential to act upon immediately. In obstetrics, if there is no immediate response, two lives, that of the mother as well of the child are in danger, which is an additional reason for urgent intervention. The most frequent gynecological emergencies are considered to be: ectopic pregnancy, torquated cyst as well as ruptured cyst of corpus haemorrhagicus and in obstetrics: placental abruption, placenta previa and postpartal hemorrhage. All of these conditions are in most cases managed surgically with exception of thromboembolic disease which is at present treated with low-molecular-weight heparin.
