The opinions and experiences of Irish obstetric and gynaecology trainee doctors in relation to abortion services in Ireland.

Introduction: The provision of abortion services in the Republic of Ireland is legally restricted. Recent legislation that has been implemented allows for abortion if there is a real and substantial risk to the woman's life, but in general Irish women must travel abroad for abortion services. The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical experiences of Irish obstetric non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) that work in this environment and to assess their attitudes towards termination of pregnancy (ToP).

MRI Significantly Improves Disease Staging to Direct Surgical Planning for Abnormal Invasive Placentation: A Single Centre Experience.

Objective: To describe the role of ultrasound and MRI in defining the extent of disease and guiding perioperative and surgical management of abnormal invasive placentation (AIP).

Methods: We conducted a review of 65 cases of invasive placentation diagnosed antenatally with use of ultrasound and/or MRI in a single tertiary centre between January 2000 and December 2014. Cases were assigned a grade based on the depth of invasion and location of invasion within the uterus as described in ultrasound and MRI reports.
