Comparison of the Joel-Cohen-based technique and the transverse Pfannenstiel for caesarean section for safety and effectiveness: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Caesarean section (C-section) is the most common surgery among women worldwide, and the global rate of this surgical procedure has been continuously rising. Hence, it is significantly crucial to develop and apply highly effective and safe caesarean section techniques. In this review study, we aimed at assessing the safety and effectiveness of the Joel-Cohen-based technique and comparing the results with the transverse Pfannenstiel incision for C-section.

Comparative analysis of long-term outcomes of Misgav Ladach technique cesarean section and traditional cesarean section.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate pelvic adhesions, dehiscence and chronic pelvic pain in two groups of patients who underwent different cesarean section (CS) operations.

Material And Methods: One hundred and twelve eligible patients who met our criteria were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 52 women who had been operated at their first CS by Misgav Ladach technique and had now undergone a second CS.

Fertility Outcome after Operative Laparoscopy versus No Treatment in Infertile Women with Minimal or Mild Endometriosis.

Background: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in sites other than the uterine cavity, which is associated with infertility. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic surgical treatment on clinical pregnancy in infertile women with minimal or mild endometriosis.

Materials And Methods: This clinical trial study was performed in infertile women who were referred to the gynecological clinic between April 2008 and March 2009.

Comparison of metformin treatment and laparoscopic ovarian diathermy in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: To compare hormone levels and clinical outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after metformin therapy or laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) at 6 months follow-up.

Methods: A randomized trial was conducted in 126 patients with PCOS who had a history of infertility for at least 1 year and resistance to clomiphene citrate (CC). Patients (n=63) received metformin treatment or underwent LOD (n=63).

Adhesion Formation in Patients with Previous Laparotomies.

We evaluated 50 women who had had a previous laparotomy to determine the extent of adhesion formation. Patients were grouped according to previous obstetric and gynecologic surgery. The reason for laparoscopy was generally pelvic pain or infertility, and in some women with no complaint, for evaluation.
