Article Synopsis
- Surgical treatment for obese women poses challenges, but minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic hysterectomy have emerged as effective alternatives to reduce invasiveness while maintaining outcomes.
- A study of 328 women underwent hysterectomy, comparing outcomes between those who had open surgeries and those who had laparoscopic procedures, focusing on complication rates based on obesity levels (BMI).
- Results showed significantly lower perioperative and early to mid-term complications in the laparoscopic group compared to the open surgery group; however, late complications were similar in both groups.
Objective: To assess the classification, repair, and follow up of extensive obstetric perineal injuries in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
Methods: A survey conducted in 2009 using questionnaires distributed to obstetric departments regarding classification and management of obstetric perineal injuries.
Results: Although 15 centers in the Czech Republic and 2 in the Slovak Republic indicated use of a 4-degree classification system, none of these centers reported using the classification accepted by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
