A 10-year retrospective cohort study of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy management outcomes in an Australian tertiary centre.

Introduction: Non-tubal ectopic pregnancy (NTEP) is a rare but significant early pregnancy complication which can result in maternal morbidity and mortality. There is however a lack of evidence-based guidelines for the management of NTEP.

Purpose: To evaluate the success rates of expectant, medical and surgical management in the treatment of NTEP at our tertiary centre.

Awareness and utilisation of advanced gynaecological ultrasound in the preoperative work-up of women planning surgery for endometriosis: A survey of RANZCOG fellows and trainees.

Background: Endometriosis-specific (advanced gynaecological) ultrasound is recommended as part of preoperative work-up of women with suspected endometriosis.

Aim: To evaluate the awareness and utilisation of advanced gynaecological ultrasound in the preoperative work-up of women with suspected endometriosis among active RANZCOG (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists) fellows and trainees.

Materials And Methods: Anonymous online survey invitations were emailed to all active RANZCOG fellows in Australia and New Zealand.

chorioamnionitis associated with late stillbirth: A case report.

Vulvovaginal candidiasis during pregnancy is common, but serious complications, including chorioamnionitis, are infrequent. A 41-year-old woman presented at 37 weeks of gestation with reduced fetal movements, and fetal death in utero was subsequently confirmed on ultrasound. Histopathology of the cord and placenta revealed infection and microabscesses on the umbilical cord.

Diagnostic Accuracy and Reproducibility of Predicting Cul-de-Sac Obliteration by General Gynaecologists and Minimally Invasive Gynaecologic Surgeons.

Objective: Knowledge of rectouterine cul-de-sac state and consistent classification among surgeons are important in the surgical management of women with endometriosis. The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver and intraobserver agreement among general gynaecologists (GGs) and minimally invasive gynaecologic surgeons (MIGSs) in the prediction of cul-de-sac obliteration at off-line analysis of laparoscopic videos.

Methods: Five GGs and five MIGSs viewed 33 prerecorded laparoscopic video sets off-line to determine cul-de-sac obliteration state (non-obliterated, partially obliterated, or completely obliterated) on two occasions (at least 7days apart).

Central airway obstruction caused by adenoid cystic carcinoma in pregnancy: a case report and review of the literature.

Malignancy complicates one in a thousand pregnancies. The most frequently diagnosed of these are breast, cervical, melanoma, ovarian, and haematological neoplasms. Tumours of respiratory origin are very uncommon during pregnancy.

Pyogenic Sacroiliitis due to Group A Streptococcus following Uncomplicated Pregnancy and Vaginal Delivery.

Background. Although the incidence of pregnancy-associated pyogenic sacroiliitis is low, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Timely diagnosis of the condition is challenging due to its nonspecific clinical features.

A case of recurrent severe pre-eclampsia associated with essential cryofibrinogenaemia.

Essential cryofibrinogenaemia is a rare disorder characterized by cryofibrinogens without cryoglobulins. Connective tissue disorders and thrombophilia are known to increase risk of pre-eclampsia, but pre-eclampsia has not previously been reported in association with cryofibrinogenaemia. We report the case of a 32-year-old woman with recurrent severe pre-eclampsia diagnosed with essential cryofibrinogenaemia.
