title: [Attitude of patients to chorionic villi biopsy: motivation for the decision and perception].
abstract: 56 patients with CVS were asked with a standardized questionnaire why they decided to undergo that surgical procedure and how they felt about it. 52 patients said, that their main motivation for CVS was the early diagnosis of a healthy baby. The low health risk of an early performed abruption in case of fetal abnormalities played a secondary role. Concerning the severity of that surgical procedure 44 patients thought, that it was harmless or tolerable and no woman had the feeling that CVS is a fearful intervention. 76% said, that CVS was not painful or only a little bit, 2 patients had the feeling of a painful surgical procedure. The most disagreeable moment during CVS was the hooking of the cervix. There were different opinions comparing CVS stress to amniocentesis stress in patients with a preceding amniocentesis.
