A Novel Technique Using Ultrasonic Shears Versus Traditional Methods of Reduction of Bilateral Labia Minora Hypertrophy: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

Introduction: To compare the clinical outcomes of bilateral labia minora hypertrophy reduction using ultrasonic shears versus traditional methods.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we evaluate the surgical outcomes of 11 women who underwent bilateral labia minora hypertrophy reduction using ultrasonic shears to 14 women who underwent the same procedure using various traditional methods between January 1, 2015 and February 29, 2020 in a single center. The primary outcomes evaluated are total operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative pain.

Evaluating the Impact of Office Hysteroscopy in a Military Treatment Facility.

Introduction: Office hysteroscopy has become a cornerstone of modern gynecologic care through the advent of advanced technology and emphasis on an efficient healthcare system. In 2017, Medicare announced an increase in office hysteroscopy reimbursement by 237%, giving an incentive for gynecologists to move from the operating room into the clinic. The U.

Continuous Hydrogen Sulfide Gas Monitoring using the PortaSens II Portable Gas Leak Detector Model C16 during Laparoscopic or Robotic Surgery Cannot Be Used Intraoperatively to Detect Bowel Injury.

Study Objective: To determine the feasibility of measuring hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas in the insufflated abdomen during laparoscopic surgery after transmural bowel injury as a marker of unrecognized bowel injuries.

Design: This is a feasibility study performed on swine models during a robotic training course. We aimed to determine baseline HS levels and subsequent elevations in HS levels after enterotomy of the large and small intestines.

The Impact of Robotic-Assisted Technology on Attitudes of Host Nation Individuals Participating in Pacific Partnership 2018: Improving Partnerships Through Technology.

The USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) on Pacific Partnership 2018 was the first mobile, expeditionary platform to utilize the da Vinci Surgical System. Using a de-identified, web-based survey, the impact of this new technology on Pacific Partnership 2018 on the attitudes of host nation surgeons was examined.
