Electrosurgery: heating, sparking and electrical arcs.

The translation of impedance (R), current (I), and voltage (V) into tissue effects and the understanding of the settings of electrosurgical units is not obvious if judged by the many questions during live surgery. Below 200 V, the current heats the tissue until the steam of boiling stops the current. Thus, slower heating, because of less energy or a larger contact area, results in deeper coagulation.

Oxidised cellulose-based reaction mimicking a suspicious ovarian mass: a case report and a systematic review.

Oxidised regenerated cellulose was introduced 60 years ago to control diffuse bleeding from large surfaces. Although considered safe and effective, foreign body reactions can mimic suspicious masses in several organs. We describe the third case, reported in PubMed, of an oxidised regenerated cellulose-based granuloma mimicking a suspicious ovarian tumour on MRI.

Isthmoceles - Accuracy of imaging diagnosis and clinical correlation with histology: A prospective cohort study.

Background: Isthmoceles are a growing clinical concern.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of diagnosis of isthmoceles by imaging and to correlate the dimensions with clinical symptoms and histopathology.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study of women (n=60) with ≥1 C-section undergoing hysterectomy.

A rare variant of mullerian agenesis: a case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Menstruation is a developmental milestone and usually marks healthy and normal pubertal changes in females. Menarche refers to the onset of first menstruation in a female. The causes of primary amenorrhea include outflow tract abnormalities, resistant endometrium, primary ovarian insufficiency, and disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, or other endocrine glands.
