Spontaneous prelabor uterine rupture in a primigravida: a case report and review of the literature.

A rare case of prelabor uterine rupture in a primigravida was reported. A woman with a history of uterine perforation during hysteroscopy became pregnant after donor oocyte in vitro fertilization. To provide more insight into the possible risk factors for prelabor uterine rupture in primigravidae, a literature review was performed.

Laparoscopy staging of early ovarian cancer: our experience and review of the literature.

Unlabelled: We report our experience with laparoscopic staging of apparent early ovarian cancer, and we critically review the current literature on this issue. Potential limits of laparoscopic technique and theoretical concerns of using pneumoperitoneum-based surgery in this setting are addressed.

Methods: Surgical, pathological, and oncological outcome data of consecutive patients undergoing comprehensive laparoscopic staging for presumed early ovarian cancer at our institution were prospectively collected.
