Oral misoprostol, low dose vaginal misoprostol, and vaginal dinoprostone for labor induction: Randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare effectiveness and safety of oral misoprostol (50 μg every four hours as needed), low dose vaginal misoprostol (25 to 50 μg every six hours as needed), and our established dinoprostone vaginal gel (one to two mg every six hours as needed) induction.

Materials And Methods: Consenting women with a live term single cephalic fetus for indicated labor induction were randomized (3N = 511). Prior uterine surgery or non-reassuring fetal surveillance were exclusions.

Overlapping compared with end-to-end repair of complete third-degree or fourth-degree obstetric tears: three-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To report on a 3-year follow-up of women who underwent overlapping repair of a complete third-degree or fourth-degree obstetric tear.

Methods: Primiparous women sustaining a complete third-degree or a fourth-degree tear of the perineum were randomized to a primary sphincter repair using either an end-to-end or an overlapping surgical technique. At 1, 2, and 3 years, questionnaires on rates of flatal and fecal incontinence were mailed to participants.

Women's ability to assess their urinary incontinence type using the QUID as an educational tool.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Little evidence is available concerning the ability of women with urinary incontinence (UI) to properly assess their problem. This study compared women's assessments of their UI type with physicians' diagnoses.

Methods: Women referred to a urogynecology clinic for UI were asked to anonymously answer a short validated Questionnaire for Urinary Incontinence Diagnosis (QUID) before their physician visit.

Neonatal outcome following failed Kiwi OmniCup vacuum extraction.

Objective: To evaluate neonatal outcomes following failed vacuum extraction using the Kiwi OmniCup vacuum device.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 288 failed vacuum deliveries using the OmniCup device. The neonatal morbidity was recorded for each delivery.

Overlapping compared with end-to-end repair of third- and fourth-degree obstetric anal sphincter tears: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare overlapping repair with end-to-end repair of obstetric tears and to investigate which procedure results in a higher rate of flatal incontinence.

Methods: One-hundred forty-nine primiparous women sustaining a complete third- or a fourth-degree tear of the perineum were assigned randomly to a primary sphincter repair using either an end-to-end (n=75) or an overlapping surgical technique (n=74) using 3-0 polyglyconate. Outcome measures at 6 months included rates of flatal and fecal incontinence, quality-of-life scores, integrity of the internal and external anal sphincters by anal ultrasonography, and anal sphincter function as reflected by anal manometry.

A prospective observational study of 1000 vacuum assisted deliveries with the OmniCup device.

Objective: To determine the maternal and perinatal outcomes associated with delivery by the rigid plastic OmniCup vacuum delivery device.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study of 1000 consecutive vacuum-assisted deliveries using the OmniCup vacuum device in singleton pregnancies. The relationship of the cup application to the flexion point was independently observed after delivery and related to the neonatal outcome, including scalp trauma.

Effectiveness of a new self-positioning pessary for the management of urinary incontinence in women.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new self-positioning women's incontinence pessary.

Study Design: Thirty-two women were enrolled and followed up for 12 months. Evaluation included baseline questionnaires, physical examination including pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) scores, cotton swab testing, and assessment of Kegel strength.
