Fractional-Pixel CO Laser Treatment in Patients With Urodynamic Stress Urinary Incontinence: 1-Year Follow-Up.

Background And Objectives: Vaginal pixelated low power and long pulses (LPLP) CO laser has been suggested as an optional treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with many studies reporting short-term improvements. The objective of this study was to assess the 1-year subjective and objective efficacy of vaginal CO laser in women with urodynamic SUI.

Study Design/materials And Methods: This was a prospective multicenter study.

Abdominal compartment syndrome after laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy.

Abdominal compartment syndrome is a consequence of increased intraabdominal pressure. It can be triggered by inflammation, hemorrhage, chemical peritonitis, or prolonged insufflations during laparoscopy. It is a well-known phenomenon for intensive care specialists, but gynecologists are relatively unfamiliar with its occurrence.
