Incidence of complete vaginal cuff wound healing at sixth and eighth week after total abdominal hysterectomy.

Aim: To assess the incidence and risk factors of complete vaginal cuff wound healing at sixth and eighth week after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of women who underwent TAH for benign conditions from January 2015 to December 2015 at Ramathibodi Hospital was conducted. The primary outcome was the incidence of complete vaginal cuff healing at 6 and 8 weeks after operation as determined by complete vaginal mucosal approximation without the presence of suture material or granulation tissue.

Vaginal Stump Characteristics after Total Abdominal Hysterectomy Using Electrosurgery versus Scalpel or Scissors for Vaginal Incision: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To compare the vaginal stump characteristics following total abdominal hysterectomy between two vaginal incision techniques, electrosurgery versus scalpel or scissors.

Material And Method: A randomized single-blind controlled trial was performed in 80 patients scheduled to undergo total abdominal hysterectomy for benign conditions. Either sharp instrument (scalpel or scissors) or electrosurgery was used for vaginal incision following standard surgical technique for total abdominal hysterectomy.

Effect of L-carnitine on maturation, cryo-tolerance and embryo developmental competence of bovine oocytes.

In this study, the effects of the addition of L-carnitine in in vitro maturation (IVM) medium for bovine oocytes on their nuclear maturation and cryopreservation were investigated; they were matured in IVM medium supplemented with 0.0, 0.3, 0.

Prevalence and management of abnormal pap smear in antenatal care clinic at Thammasat University Hospital.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence of abnormal Papanicolaou smear in pregnant patients who attend the Antenatal Care Clinic at Thammasat University Hospital.

Material And Method: Pregnant patients who attended the antenatal care clinic at Thammasat University Hospital from August 2003 to December 2003 were recruited for Papanicolaou test. Patients who had abnormal results of equally or over "abnormal squamous/glandular cells of undetermined significance" were assigned for colposcopy and colposcopic biopsy to confirm the result.
