Retrospective study on the outcomes and satisfaction with endometrial ablation by bipolar energy (NovaSure) for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding.

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness, safety, and participant satisfaction with endometrial ablation by bipolar energy (NovaSure) in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), and to investigate factors associated with poorer outcomes.

Methods: Multicenter retrospective observational study based on medical record review of the outcomes related to endometrial ablation by the bipolar-energy technique procedure to treat HMB in the setting of three university teaching hospitals in Spain.

Results: A total of 333 women were included in the study.

Association between exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and endometriosis in the ENDEA case-control study.

Background: Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are environmental contaminants present in a wide range of consumer products and frequently detected in drinking water. They have been linked to adverse reproductive health outcomes in women, but there is limited human evidence on the association of PFAS exposure with endometriosis.

Objective/aim: To explore the association between plasma concentrations of several PFAS, considered individually and as a mixture, and the risk of endometriosis in women of childbearing age.

Complications of transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of fibroids: A 5-year experience.

Introduction: Transvaginal radiofrequency ablation is a relatively noninvasive approach for the treatment of fibroids in patients who do not wish to undergo conventional surgery. Information on potential complications of this novel technique is very scarce.

Methods: Retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological study of 115 patients who underwent transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of fibroids and for whom complications were recorded.

Efficacy, Complications, and Factors Predictive of Response to Treatment with Transvaginal Radiofrequency Ablation for Symptomatic Uterine Myomas.

Study Objective: Transvaginal radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for myomas in women who wish to preserve their uterus. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transvaginal radiofrequency to treat myomas and to identify factors predictive of the response to treatment.

Design: Prospective case series.

Office hysteroscopic metroplasty with diode laser for septate uterus: a multicenter cohort study.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of office hysteroscopic metroplasty by diode laser for the treatment of septate uteri.

Study Design: We performed a prospective cohort study including 41 nulliparous women diagnosed with septate uterus and a history of primary infertility or recurrent miscarriage. All patients underwent hysteroscopic metroplasty for the treatment of the uterine septum, which was performed in-office setting using a 4.

Association of Urinary Levels of Bisphenols A, F, and S with Endometriosis Risk: Preliminary Results of the EndEA Study.

The aim of this study was to explore associations of urinary concentrations of bisphenols A (BPA), S (BPS), and F (BPF) and of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) with the risk of endometriosis in women of childbearing age. : This case-control study enrolled 124 women between January 2018 and July 2019: 35 women with endometriosis (cases) and 89 women without endometriosis undergoing abdominal surgery for other reasons (controls). Endometriosis was diagnosed (cases) or ruled out (controls) by laparoscopic inspection of the pelvis and the biopsy of suspected lesions (histological diagnosis).

Prevalence and genetic diversity of Trichomonas vaginalis in the general population of Granada and co-infections with Gardnerella vaginalis and Candida species.

Purpose: Purulent or exudative genitourinary infections are a frequent cause of consultation in primary and specialized healthcare. The objectives of this study were: to determine the prevalence of Trichomonas vaginalis and co-infections with Candida spp. and Gardnerella vaginalis in vaginal secretion; and to use multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to analyse the genetic diversity of T.

Complications of laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.

Background And Objectives: To analyze the frequency of complications during laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and identify associated risk factors.

Methods: A descriptive observational study was performed between January 2000 and December 2012 and included all gynecologic laparoscopies performed at our center. Variables were recorded for patient characteristics, indication for surgery, length of hospital stay (in days), major and minor complications, and conversions to laparotomy.
