The primary goal of the clinical evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding is to establish a specific diagnosis in the most efficient and least invasive manner possible. Hysteroscopy (HS) allows physicians to obtain directed biopsy in addition to direct visualization of the uterine cavity and lesions, but often requires ambulatory surgery centers and some anesthesia, or can potentially result in significant patient discomfort. Sonohysterography (SHG) is less invasive than HS but does not allow a histologic sample.

Methods: We randomly enrolled 74 women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for gynecological benign diseases. Patients in the levobupivacaine group (n=37) were injected with 7 ml of 5 mg/ml levobupivacaine at all incisional areas patients in the control group (n=37) were injected with an equal volume of physiologic saline solution.
Study Objective: To compare pain management of standard analgesic and standard analgesic plus diclofenac transdermal patch in patients who undergo laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.
Design: Randomized prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification I).
Setting: University hospital.
Myasthenia gravis (MG) often affects women in the second and third decades of life, overlapping with the childbearing years. The course of the disease is unpredictable during pregnancy; however, worsening of symptoms occurs more likely during the first trimester and postpartum. MG can be well managed during pregnancy with relatively safe and effective therapies.
