How to make a LLETZ simulator: LLETZ Simulator.

Large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) of the uterine cervix is a surgical procedure very frequently performed. Simulation of LLETZ under colposcopic guidance has a major role in training practitioners. The objective was to present an ex vivo model of LLETZ.

Can certain factors for recurrence of placenta-mediated pregnancy complications be identified after an initial small-for-gestational-age birth?

After a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth, recurrence of placenta-mediated pregnancy complications (PMPCs) is a cause for anxiety when contemplating another pregnancy.

This retrospective single-center observational study was conducted in a tertiary maternity unit between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2017.
