Background: Improved nasal airway obstruction (NAO) symptoms were reported at 3 months following temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) treatment of the septal swell body (SSB). This report provides results from assessments of the long-term safety and efficacy of TCRF treatment of SSB hypertrophy to treat NAO through 12 months posttreatment.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, long-term, open-label study was conducted in nine centers within the United States and included patients with severe/extreme NAO attributed to SSB hypertrophy.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is a major complication associated with vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery (VAVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors related to vacuum extraction that are associated with OASI.
Methods: This was a case-control study performed at a tertiary university teaching hospital.
Background: Trial of labor after cesarean after 2 cesarean deliveries is linked to a lower success rate of vaginal delivery and higher rates of adverse obstetrical outcomes than trial of labor after cesarean after 1 previous cesarean delivery.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with failed trial of labor after cesarean among women with 2 previous cesarean deliveries.
Study Design: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study, which included all women with singleton pregnancies attempting trial of labor after cesarean after 2 previous cesarean deliveries between 2003 and 2021.
