How do contraception preferences change over time? .

Objectives: To examine the contraceptive preferences of women based on their age and to track changes in these preferences over time.

Methods: This was an observational, retrospective cross-sectional study. Data from 2742 patients were evaluated for this study.

Can the Combination of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predict the Mass Origin in Ovarian Masses?

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), blood parameters, and tumor markers to determine the role of objective criteria in distinguishing malignant, borderline, and benign masses and to minimize unnecessary surgical interventions by reducing interpretation differences.

Methods: The histopathological and clinical-laboratory results of the patients who underwent surgery for the initial diagnosis and whose ovarian masses were confirmed were retrospectively reviewed. Between groups, age, cancer antigen 125, mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the presence of ascites, the ovarian-adnexal reporting and data system MRI scores, mass characteristics, and lymphocyte count were compared.

Teres lift-up technique: a retrospective comparative study for an alternative route for laparoscopic entry in gynecologic and oncologic surgery.

Objective: Laparoscopic surgery is the favored method for the surgical treatment of gynecologic diseases and malignancies. We have defined an anatomic landmark-based, easy-to-perform, and an alternative way of open laparoscopic entry technique named the ligamentum teres lift-up technique (TLU) that can be used in obese or normal-weight women to tackle the risks of the closed laparoscopic entry technique, namely, Veress needle entry (VNE).

Study Design: In this retrospective comparative study, the participants were equally distributed to either the TLU group (n = 36) or the VNE group (n = 36) in a 1:1 ratio.
