The impact of bilateral transient occlusion of uterine and utero-ovarian arteries on surgical blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: The primary perioperative concern during laparoscopic myomectomy is the risk of significant intraoperative blood loss, which can lead to hypovolemia, necessitate blood transfusion, and result in postoperative anemia. To address this issue, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the impact of temporarily clamping the uterine and utero-ovarian arteries on operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search across various databases to identify eligible clinical trials from inception to May 2024, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Patient awareness, knowledge, and acceptability of antenatal perineal massage: A single-center cross-sectional study from Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: This study assessed the knowledge, awareness, and acceptability of antenatal perineal massage (APM) among pregnant women in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 240 pregnant women who met the predefined inclusion criteria and attended the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 1 October to 31 December 2023. Participants answered seven knowledge questions, classified as having good knowledge if they answered ≥4 correctly and poor knowledge if <4 were correct.

Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy for the Management of Uterovaginal Prolapse: a Pilot, Single-Center Experience from Saudi Arabia.

Background: Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy is an emerging uterine-preserving strategy for management of uterovaginal prolapse (UVP). The literature on laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy for management of UVP is very scarce from Saudi Arabia. This research examined the feasibility, clinical utility, and safety of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy in a Saudi setting.

Calcium versus cabergoline for prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To conduct the first-ever systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating calcium infusion versus cabergoline in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) among high-risk women undergoing assisted reproductive technology.

Methods: Six databases were screened from inception until April 1, 2024. The included randomized and non-randomized controlled studies were assessed for quality.

The Effect of Virtual Reality Application on Pain and Anxiety During Episiotomy Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Introduction And Hypothesis: There is a rising trend among women towards nonpharmacological approaches owing to their minimally invasive nature and limited adverse effects. Virtual reality (VR) has recently gained popularity as a new technology for reducing pain and anxiety in medical settings. Our research sought to investigate the impact of VR on pain and anxiety levels while undergoing episiotomy repair.

Digital versus speculum insertion of Foley catheter for labor induction: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Objective: To compare Foley catheter insertion by digital blind method to its placement with a sterile speculum in women with unripe cervix for induction of labor.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from inception to July 2023. Included studies compared digital to speculum placement of the Foley catheter for labor induction.
