Are Pediatric Cancer Patients a Risk Group for Vitamin D Deficiency? A Systematic Review.

: Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly recognized as a global health concern, with potential implications for cancer development and progression. This systematic review investigated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pediatric cancer patients and its potential impact on clinical outcomes. : A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, to identify the relevant studies published between 2009 and July 2024.

The Impact of Laparoscopic Myomectomy on Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

Study Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the impact of laparoscopic myomectomy techniques on pregnancy outcomes, with a specific focus on the correlation between the type of suture used during the procedure and the incidence of uterine rupture. Additionally, the study aims to examine how the localization and size of myomas, key factors in laparoscopic myomectomy, may influence fertility outcomes.

Data Sources: extensive searches were conducted using MDPI, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases from 2008 to November 2023.

Evaluating Patient Preferences and Clinical Outcomes for Modified Laparoscopic Burch Colposuspension and Transobturator Tape Procedures in Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment.

Objective: This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of patient preferences and clinical outcomes associated with two prominent surgical techniques for treating Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI): the modified laparoscopic Burch colposuspension and the transobturator tape (TOT) procedure.

Material And Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 145 patients who recieved surgical treatment for SUI, of which 71 patients (49%) underwent the modified laparoscopic Burch procedure, while 74 patients (51%) received the TOT procedure. Data on clinical characteristics, treatment success rates, and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed to understand patient preferences and real-world clinical effectiveness.

The Efficiency of a Uterine Isthmus Tourniquet in Minimizing Blood Loss during a Myomectomy-A Prospective Study.

: The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of using a peri-cervical tourniquet in reducing blood loss during a laparoscopic myomectomy. : This prospective study evaluated the impact of performing a concomitant tourniquet placement during a laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). A total of 60 patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups: 30 patients who underwent an LM with a tourniquet placement (the TLM group) and 30 patients who benefited from a standard LM (the SLM group).

Laparoscopic Pectopexy versus Vaginal Sacrospinous Ligament Fixation in the Treatment of Apical Prolapse.

Objectives: To compare the follow-up results of a sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) technique for laparoscopic bilateral fixation of the vagina to the iliopectineal ligament via a PVDF-mesh (laparoscopic pectopexy technique, LP) in terms of cure rate and postoperative complications rate.

Material And Methods: This prospective study included 160 patients diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse stage II-IV according to the POP-Q system. Eighty-two patients (51.
