[The current status of information technology publications in gynecology].

In 1997, the Zentralblatt für Gynäkologie introduced a new column named "Computer & Programs" in which articles on information technology of special interest for gynecologists are published. Until today, the Zentralblatt is the only German journal publishing articles of that kind. Even in Anglo-American journals no comparable articles are published, although the US have a leading role in computer and internet technology in general.
