Optimizing analgesia for endometrial biopsy: A prospective, randomized comparative study.

Aim: This prospective, randomized, observational study aimed to compare the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine, oral dexketoprofen, cervical lidocaine spray, and paracervical block with prilocaine for pain management during outpatient endometrial biopsy (EMB).

Methods: One hundred ninety-seven women aged 18-75 undergoing EMB were randomly assigned to one of four groups: intrauterine lidocaine (n = 49), oral dexketoprofen (n = 48), cervical lidocaine spray (n = 50), or paracervical block with prilocaine (n = 50). Pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately post-procedure and at 30 min, with additional analgesia needs recorded at 60 min.

Impact of uterine cavity filling pressure levels on pain and procedure duration in diagnostic hysteroscopy: A retrospective cohort study.

Aim: This study investigates the impact of intracavitary pressure levels on pain, visualization quality, and procedure duration in office hysteroscopy, comparing standard pressures (60-100 mmHg) with high pressures (110-150 mmHg).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving non-menopausal women undergoing diagnostic hysteroscopy at a tertiary clinic. Patients were categorized into two groups based on intracavitary pressure: the standard pressure group (60-100 mmHg; n = 72) and the high-pressure group (110-150 mmHg; n = 37).

Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination on cesarean section outcomes: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Pregnant individuals have faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating a closer examination of maternal and fetal health outcomes.

Objectives: Investigate the morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection among pregnant individuals, considering vaccination status and variant strains.

Design: Retrospective cohort.

Evaluation of a scoring system to predict treatment success with single-dose methotrexate in ectopic pregnancy.

Purpose: This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly developed scoring system in predicting treatment outcomes for ectopic pregnancy among patients undergoing single-dose methotrexate therapy. The primary research question centered on the reliability and predictive accuracy of objective parameters in determining methotrexate therapy success.

Methods: Conducted as a retrospective single-center cohort study, data from 172 ectopic pregnancy patients treated with methotrexate between January 2021 and January 2023 were analyzed.

Uterine preserving technique in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: Laparoscopic pectopexy.

Objective: Apical prolapse constitutes an important part of pelvic organ prolapse. In this study, our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of laparoscopic pectopexy that we made by preserving the uterus in the surgical treatment of apical prolapse.

Methods: A total of 36 patients with apical prolapse who wanted to preserve their uterus underwent laparoscopic rectopexy.

Unsuspected Diagnosis of Uterine Leiomyosarcoma after Laparoscopic Myomectomy in an Isolated Bag.

Minimally invasive techniques are generally applied for patients suspected of having benign fibroids if medical treatment is insufficient. On the other hand, sometimes some occult carcinomas of uterus like leiomyosarcomas may be reported for the patients' applied morcellation. This condition is rare but outcomes are clinically significant.
