A New Combined Urogynecology and Colorectal Surgery Pelvic Floor Clinic-1 Year On.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study is aimed at characterizing patients seen at a new combined pelvic floor clinic (CPFC) established at a tertiary women's hospital in Singapore. Study goals include identifying patterns of symptom clusters and reviewing management strategies compared with international care standards, improving understanding of complex female pelvic floor dysfunction, and guiding future development of clinical and ancillary support.

Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of medical case record review for all patients seen at the CPFC between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 2021.

Colovaginal Fistula: An Uncommon Complication After Vaginal Hysterectomy and Pelvic Floor Repair With Mesh Surgery.

A colovaginal fistula (CVF) is an abnormal epithelialized connection between the colon and the vagina. It is a rare complication following gynaecology surgery and can significantly affect patients' quality of life. CVFs are commonly associated with diverticular disease and are usually seen in patients with a previous hysterectomy.

Metastatic signet-ring carcinoma to the uterus presenting as an endometrial polyp.

Primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the uterus is rare and requires exclusion of possible metastatic tumour to the uterus. We report a case of a woman in her 70s who underwent hysteroscopy and a polypectomy for a polyp arising from the uterine wall. On histological examination, malignant cells with signet-ring cell morphology were found within the fragments of endometrial tissue.

The Effect of Luteinising Hormone Suppression in In Vitro Fertilisation Antagonist Cycles.

Use of GnRH antagonists in IVF stimulation protocols shortens controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and reduces the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). However, profound reduction in LH levels has been associated with use of GnRH antagonists. This study aims to determine if LH suppression during GnRH antagonist cycles results in poorer IVF outcomes.

Problems with Early Systematic Reviews: The Case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Pregnancy.

Introduction: Rapid dissemination of findings regarding the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its potential effects on pregnancy is crucial to support understanding and development of recommendations for optimization of obstetrics care. However, much of the current studies published are in the form of case reports or case series which can be prone to biases. Other factors also further complicate attempts to analyze data accurately.
