Surgical Management of Multiple Hydatid Cysts in Second Trimester Pregnancy.

Although hydatid cysts are an endemic infestation, experience in surgical management of pregnant women is quite limited. This report aims to share the results and experiences gained from the management and surgery of a woman with a second trimester pregnancy who presented with asphyxia because of the rupture of a giant bilateral hydatid cyst.

Comparison of tissue trauma after abdominal, vaginal and total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the extent of tissue trauma atter abdominal hysterectomy(AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) using biochemical markers.

Material And Methods: Seventy-one patients requiring hysterectomy for benign uterine diseases were enrolled in the study and divided into three treatment groups: AH (n=24), VH (n=23), and TLH (n=24). Blood samples for assay of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) were collected pre-, intra-operatively and 2, 6 and 24 h after surgery.

Sociodemographic and clinical features of postpartum depression among Turkish women: a prospective study.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) is moderate to severe depression in a woman after she has given birth. Findings from several well-designed studies reflect great variability in rates, from 10 to 22%, and also in risk factors for PPD. This variability may reflect geographical location.

Diagnosis of pentalogy of cantrell in the first trimester using transvaginal sonography and color Doppler.

We report the prenatal diagnosis of Cantrell syndrome in the first trimester. During a routine transabdominal ultrasonographic examination, a midline supraumbilical abdominal wall defect including herniated liver and ectopia cordis with a large omphalocele containing the intestines and cystic hygroma was incidentally identified at the 12th week of gestation. A transvaginal sonography examination revealed a severe lumbosacral scoliosis in addition to the inability to visualize the abdominal aorta which was indicative of a severe intracardiac defect.

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin versus Recombinant FSH in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization.

Background: We aimed to compare human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (r FSH) with respect to clinical outcomes and the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) for patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Materials And Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial included a total of 80 women with PCOS. Of these, 38 were randomized to receive treatment with hMG and 42 with rFSH using a long gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue protocol.

Diagnosis and management of female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) arising from ovary: a case report.

Female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) is a rare neoplasm which is usually considered as benign, although in some cases metastasis or recurrences have been reported even after a long interval following the initial diagnosis. Preoperative diagnosis of FATWO is very difficult because of the rarity of the disease and the limited literature available. In this case report, we present a case of FATWO arising from the ovary and review the literature based on the clinical characteristics and management of this rare condition.
