Comparison of transperineal and transvaginal sonography in predicting preterm delivery.

Purpose: A major advantage of transperineal sonography (TPUS) is its ability to evaluate the cervix without causing any distortion. This study was performed to compare transvaginal sonography (TVUS) and TPUS at 24 weeks of gestation in predicting preterm delivery in low-risk pregnancy.

Methods: Three hundred fifty-seven pregnant women underwent TVUS and TPUS at 24 weeks of gestation.

Ovarian wedge resection by minilaparatomy in infertile patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a new technique.

Objective: To determine the effects of ovarian wedge resection by minilaparotomy in infertile patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Study Design: One hundred and thirty-four anovulatory patients with PCOS, who were previously treated with clomiphene citrate and gonadotropins and did not conceive were operated via minilaparotomy with microsurgical principles and ovarian wedge resection was performed on each subject. Pregnancy rates and adhesion formation were investigated retrospectively.
