Incidence of Lymphedema and Other Complications in Patients Operated on for Gynecological Cancer Including Utilization of Two Lymph Node Dissection Techniques.

To assess the impact of the lymph node dissection (LND) technique on short- and long-term complications. This retrospective review included patients who underwent hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and pelvic ± para-aortic LND for gynecological malignancies (cervical, endometrial, and ovarian) from 2020 to 2022 in our Gynecological Oncology Surgery clinic. Among 147 patients who underwent pelvic LND for gynecological malignancy, 48 had procedures involving scissors and 99 had procedures involving unipolar cautery.

Association of Local and Distant Organ Metastases With MELF Pattern in Endometrial Cancer.

Several types of myometrial invasion in endometrioid-type endometrial adenocarcinoma (EEC) have been identified: adenomyosis-like changes; adenoma malignum; broad front, single-cell/cell clusters; and the microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern. This study aims to investigate the effect of the MELF pattern on recurrence type and survival rate among patients with EEC. We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients diagnosed with EEC over a 10-year period from January 2011 to January 2021.

Does the Fear of COVID-19 Impact on Menopausal Symptoms in Women? A Research Investigation.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and menopausal symptoms in women during the menopausal period. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study. This study was completed with a total of 161 women who met the inclusion criteria.

Is local methotrexate therapy effective in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy? A retrospective cohort study.

Aim: To evaluate the success of local methotrexate (MTX) treatment, the side-effect profile and its fertility effect in patients diagnosed with cesarean scar pregnancy.

Materials: This retrospective cohort study included 56 cesarean scar pregnancy patients who applied to Erciyes University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology between January 2012 and January 2022 and were treated with ultrasound-guided local MTX. The results of 56 patients with cesarean scar pregnancy who underwent transvaginal ultrasound-guided single-dose local MTX treatment were evaluated.

Does endometrial thickness affect pregnancy outcomes in isolated male infertility IVF cycles? A retrospective cohort study.

In our retrospective cohort study, we aimed to determine the role of endometrial thickness (ET) in isolated male factor infertile women fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) fresh embryo cycles. The patients were classified as having an endometrial thickness of <7 mm (: 80), 7-9.9 mm (: 335), 10-14 mm (: 579) and >14 mm (: 50) according to their ETs on the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) day.

Serum Galectin 7 is Not Useful to Predict Abortion in the First Trimester.

Objective: Galectins are animal lectins that bind to surface glycoproteins expressed at the fetal-maternal interface. The aim of this prospective case-control study was to investigate the possible relationship between levels of maternal serum galectin-7 and threatened abortion (TA) and to determine whether serum galectin-7 had any prognostic value.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted between August 2014 and February 2015.

A comparison of two different oral contraceptives in patients with severe primary dysmenorrhoea.

Pain relief of two different oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) in severe primary dysmenorrhoea (PD) was compared. Sixty-six nulliparous patients with severe PD requiring contraception were evaluated. Group 1 comprised 33 healthy controls.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is not a negative contributing factor for postpartum bone mineral density.

Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), related to protracted vomiting and nausea, is a common cause of hospitalization during the first trimester of pregnancy. It can be accompanied by ketonuria, dehydration, and weight loss. Our aim was to investigate bone loss in patients with HG.

Is there any relationship between low PAPP-A levels and measures of umbilical vein and placental thickness during first trimester of pregnancy?

Objective: Low pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) level is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate relationship between umbilical cord diameter (UCD), umbilical vein and artery diameters (UVD, UAD), placental thickness, and PAPP-A level at gestational age of between 11 and 14 weeks.

Methods: UCD, UVD, UAD, and placental thickness of 246 women were assessed during ultrasound examination at between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation, as well as measurement of nuchal translucency (NT) and crown-rump length (CRL).

The Efficacy of Dienogest in the Treatment of Simple Endometrial Hyperplasia without Atypia.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of dienogest (DIE), depo medroxyprogesterone 17-acetate (MPA), and micronized progesteron (MP) regimens for treatment of simple endometrial hyperplasia (EH) without atypia.

Methods: One hundred and twenty premenopausal patients aged between 35 and 55, with simple EH without atypia, were offered 3 types of progestins (MPA, MP, and DIE) and were randomized to one of them. After 6 months of treatment, patients were reevaluated.

Nuchal cord: is it really the silent risk of pregnancy?

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between entanglement of umbilical cord around the fetal neck and adverse perinatal outcomes.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, perinatal outcomes of 218 pregnancies complicated with nuchal cord (NC) (study group) were compared with 190 uncomplicated pregnancies (control group). Main outcome measures were umbilical cord pH values, APGAR scores and cesarean section (C/S) rates.

Depression levels in patients with hyperemesis gravidarum: a prospective case-control study.

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition characterized by severe, intractable nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. It affects about 0.3-2% of all pregnancies and is thought that HG is a multifactorial disease resulting from the combination of various unrelated conditions such as genetic, hormonal and psychiatric.
