Open abdomen technique used in complications of major gynecological oncology surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the open abdomen technique (laparostomy) used in complications of major gynecological oncology surgery.

Methods: We analyzed retrospectively the surgical database of all patients who had undergone major open surgery by the same gynecologic oncologist over a 5-year period. All patients who had had open abdomen procedure were identified; demographic data and indications of primary surgery, temporary abdominal closure procedure details, fascia closure and morbidity, mortality rates were evaluated.

Relationship between extreme values of first trimester maternal pregnancy associated plasma Protein-A, free-β-human chorionic gonadotropin, nuchal translucency and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between extreme values of first trimester screening markers and adverse obstetric outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Our study was conducted by examining the prenatal and postnatal perinatal records of 786 singleton gestations between the ages of 18-40, who applied to Prof. Dr.

Efficacy of shear wave elastography in predicting preeclampsia in the first trimester.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for preeclampsia (PE) in first-trimester pregnancies.

Methods: Singleton pregnant women aged 18-45 years, who underwent routine first-trimester prenatal examinations (11-13 weeks+6 days) were enrolled. Pregnancies with anterior placenta and normal first-trimester screening test results were included in the study group.

Short-term outcomes of pregnant women with convalescent COVID-19 and factors associated with false-negative polymerase chain reaction test: A prospective cohort study.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical factors associated with false-negative RT-PCR results and to report the outcome of a cohort of pregnant women with COVID-19.

Methods: This cohort study was conducted in a tertiary referral pandemic hospital and included 56 pregnant women. A study including pregnant women with either a laboratory or clinical diagnosis for COVID-19 were included in the study.

The effect of parity on obstetric and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies at the age of 40 and above: a retrospective study.

Aim: To examine the characteristics of pregnancies at a very advanced maternal age and the effect of parity on adverse obstetric outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of women who gave birth at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital between January 2012 and December 2019. Overall, 22 448 of women were younger than 40 and 593 were aged 40 and older.

Are neutrophil/lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratios associated with endometrial precancerous and cancerous lesions in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding?

Background: An easy, reproducible and simple marker is needed to estimate phase of endometrial pathologic lesions such as hyperplasia and endometrial cancer and distinguish from pathologically normal results. We here aimed to clarify associations among neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), endometrial hyperplasia and cancer in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Materials And Methods: Patients (n=161) who were admitted with abnormal uterine bleeding and the presence of endometrial cells on cervical cytology or thick endometrium were investigated.

Tumor-free distance from outermost layer of cervix is of prognostic value in surgically treated cervical cancer patients: a multicenter study.

Objective: This study aimed at determining if tumor-free distance (TFD) from outermost layer of cervix predicts surgicopathologic factors and outcome in surgically treated cervical cancer patients.

Materials And Methods: One hundred sixteen surgically treated cervical squamous cell carcinomas between 1991 and 2010 with FIGO stage IB/2A were identified and re-evaluated histologically regarding the TFD. TFD was defined as the distance between outermost layer of cervix and deepest cervical stromal invasion.

Evaluation of tissue Doppler-derived myocardial performance index in fetuses with intracardiac echogenic focus.

Objective: To compare cardiac function between fetuses with and without intracardiac echogenic foci (IEFs) by conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler (TD) imaging.

Methods: Fetuses having IEF and no additional cardiac or extracardiac anomaly between 20 and 28 weeks (median 22 weeks) of gestation (n = 61) were compared with healthy fetuses between 18 and 29 weeks (median 23 weeks) of gestation (n = 55). Pulmonary artery and aortic peak velocities, atrioventricular (AV) early diastole (E) and atrial contraction (A) velocities and E/A ratios were measured.

The value of frozen section evaluation in the management of borderline ovarian tumors.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of a frozen section and to analyze the factors affecting frozen section results in cases of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs).

Materials And Methods: The files and pathological reports of 82 cases diagnosed with BOT at our clinic, between January 1994 and June 2009, have been retrospectively evaluated. The frozen section results were compared to the permanent paraffin section results.

Second primary cancers following borderline ovarian tumors.

Background: Several studies have reported an increased risk of second primary cancers subsequent to invasive epithelial ovarian cancer. However, there is no adequate data regarding such risk in borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of subsequent second primary cancers among women with BOTs.

Extensive uterine prolapse during active labor: a case report.

Introduction: Uterine prolapse is the descent of the uterus and cervix down the vaginal canal toward the introitus.

Case Report: Here we report a 29-year-old pregnant woman presented with extensive uterine prolapse during active labor. Cervix was edematous and bleeding but reduction was possible.
