Same-Day Discharge is Safe, Feasible Following Vaginal Hysterectomy with Apical Suspension.

Purpose: Studies involving minimally invasive hysterectomy and robotic sacrocolpopexy have demonstrated safety and feasibility of same-day discharge. There are limited data, however, on same-day discharge outcomes for vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic reconstruction. This study aimed to compare 30 and 90-day surgical outcomes between same-day discharge versus overnight stay following vaginal hysterectomy and apical suspension.

Patient experiences following prolapse surgery implementing a same-day discharge model: a prospective study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Previous research has not evaluated patient experiences following vaginal reconstructive surgery using a same-day discharge model. The objective of this study was to describe patient experiences following major vaginal reconstructive surgery and same-day discharge.

Methods: In this descriptive study, patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy with pelvic reconstruction were preoperatively enrolled.

Targeting Dopamine Receptor D2 by Imipridone Suppresses Uterine Serous Cancer Malignant Phenotype.

Uterine serous cancer (USC) is an aggressive subtype of endometrial cancer, with poor survival and high recurrence rates. The development of novel and effective therapies specific to USC would aid in its management. However, few studies have focused solely on this rare subtype.

Embryonal mitochondrial DNA: relationship to embryo quality and transfer outcomes.

Purpose: The aim was to study the association between embryonal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and embryo quality and implantation outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed with data collected from a private IVF center database. The study population included female infertility patients with ages ranging from 31 to 38 years old, and the main outcome measures were embryo quality and transfer outcomes.

Recommendations and Choices for BRCA Mutation Carriers at Risk for Ovarian Cancer: A Complicated Decision.

Current ovarian cancer screening guidelines in high-risk women vary according to different organizations. Risk reducing surgery remains the gold standard for definitive treatment in BRCA mutation carriers, but research advancements have created more short-term options for patients to consider. The decisions involved in how a woman manages her BRCA mutation status can cause a great deal of stress and worry due to the imperfect therapy options.

Operative failure rate and documentation of family history in young patients undergoing focused parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Primary hyperparathyroidism in multiple endocrine neoplasia type I usually affects all parathyroid glands, making focused parathyroidectomy (FP) inappropriate. The risk of previously undiagnosed multiple endocrine neoplasia type I in a younger patient with primary hyperparathyroidism is higher than in an older patient. We hypothesized that FP may lead to a higher failure rate in younger versus older patients.
