The effects of 3D/Full HD and 2D/Ultra HD imaging systems on suturing skills during total laparoscopic hysterectomy: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: 2D/Ultra HD and 3D/Full HD imaging systems can provide surgeons with more accurate and detailed views of the surgical site. We aimed to compare the effects of 2D/Ultra HD and 3D/Full HD laparoscopy systems on laparoscopic suturing skills during total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital, and demographic data and surgical data were recorded.

IVF with reception of oocytes from partner in lesbian couples: a systematic review and SWOT analysis.

The growing utilization of assisted reproductive technology (ART) by the LGBTQ+ community, especially among lesbian couples, challenges societal norms and promotes inclusivity. The reception of oocytes from partner (ROPA) technique enables both female partners to have a biological connection to their child. A systematic review was conducted of the literature on ROPA IVF to provide the latest data and a SWOT analysis was subsequently performed to understand the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats associated with ROPA IVF.

The effect of earthquake experience on pregnancy outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Pregnant women are vulnerable to the health consequences of earthquakes, experiencing stress and limited access to healthcare. Despite the widespread impact of these events, knowledge about their effects on pregnancy outcomes is scarce and inconsistent. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the available evidence, estimate the overall effect, and identify key research gaps about earthquake on pregnant women.

Evaluation of Perinatal and Neonatal Outcomes of Syrian Refugees Compared to Turkish Population: A Snapshot During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Background: The perinatal and neonatal outcomes of Syrian refugees during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic are unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate these outcomes.
