Term delivery following transvaginal drainage of bilateral ovarian abscesses after oocyte retrieval: a case report.

Background: Severe postovum retrieval complications such as tuboovarian abscess are rare. We present an early pelvic infection case following egg retrieval.

Case: A 31-year-old woman with unexplained infertility developed early pelvic infection subsequent to transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR).

Halofuginone- and chitosan-coated amnion membranes demonstrate improved abdominal adhesion prevention.

Our objective was to determine whether coating the amniotic membrane with halofuginone, a type 1 collagen synthase inhibitor, with or without the hemostasis-inducing substance chitosan, reduced the number and severity of adhesions in the rat uterine horn injury model. Sixty retired breeder Sprague-Dawley rats underwent midline laparotomy and a zone of ischemia was created in the left uterine horn of each animal. Rats were randomized to one of six treatment groups: (1) untreated control, (2) oxidized regenerated cellulose (Interceed®) (ORC), (3) plain amnion, (4) amnion coated on both sides with 0.

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic ovarian tissue transplantation.

Objective: To describe a technique for frozen-banked ovarian tissue transplantation using robotic-assisted laparoscopy.

Design: Case study.

Setting: Academic tertiary care center.

Chart documentation of informed consent for operative vaginal delivery: is it adequate?

Objectives: To determine the documentation frequency of informed consent for women undergoing a trial of nonemergent instrumental delivery.

Study Design: A retrospective chart review of instrumented vaginal deliveries from 1992 to 2005 was performed. Cases were identified from a Labor and Delivery database and hospital records were reviewed for documentation of associated risks, general consent for the procedure, indication, and option of cesarean delivery (CD).
