Outpatient laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: Feasibility and patient satisfaction.

Study Objective: To assess the feasibility and patient satisfaction of outpatient management of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Design: Observational study.

Setting: Multicentric study in four French centers: La Conception University Hospital, Marseille; Simone Veil Hospital, Cannes; Simone Veil Hospital, Eaubonne; and Jules Verne Clinic, Nantes.

Feasibility of sacrocolpopexy by outpatient laparoscopic surgery.

Introduction: Sacrocolpopexy (SP) is a common intervention that is most often performed by laparoscopy. This intervention usually involves standard hospitalization. Evaluation of whether this procedure can be safely carried out by outpatient hospitalization (OH) is of considerable relevance.

Facial emotion processing in patients with social anxiety disorder and Williams-Beuren syndrome: an fMRI study.

Background: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) and Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) are 2 conditions with major differences in terms of genetics, development and cognitive profiles. Both conditions are associated with compromised abilities in overlapping areas, including social approach, processing of social emotional cues and gaze behaviour, and to some extent they are associated with opposite behaviours in these domains. We examined common and distinct patterns of brain activation during a facial emotion processing paradigm in patients with SAD and WBS.

Laparoscopic hysterectomy after concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer compared to laparotomy: A multi institutional prospective pilot study of cost, surgical outcome and quality of life.

Objective: Laparoscopy allows hysterectomies after chemoradiation to be performed without opening the abdominal wall. We measured the costs and quality of life for locally advanced cervical cancer patients operated on via laparoscopy compared to laparotomy.

Study Design: We conducted an observational prospective multicenter study on locally advanced cervical cancer patients undergoing an extrafascial hysterectomy after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

New evidence of heterogeneity in social anxiety disorder: defining two qualitatively different personality profiles taking into account clinical, environmental and genetic factors.

Purpose: To study qualitatively different subgroups of social anxiety disorder (SAD) based on harm avoidance (HA) and novelty seeking (NS) dimensions.

Method: One hundred and forty-two university students with SAD (SCID-DSM-IV) were included in the study. The temperament dimensions HA and NS from the Cloninger's Temperament and Character Inventory were subjected to cluster analysis to identify meaningful subgroups.
