Oocyte retrieval in social fertility preservation: challenging traditional beliefs on gonadotropin dosing and follicular size.

Objectives: To investigate treatment approaches for fertility preservation patients, with a focus on timing of oocyte retrieval, and to determine whether their characteristics differ from those of other IVF patients. Additionally, to evaluate the significance of follicle size on triggering day in the context of fertility preservation.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a tertiary, university-affiliated medical center.

Machine learning for predicting elective fertility preservation outcomes.

This retrospective study applied machine-learning models to predict treatment outcomes of women undergoing elective fertility preservation. Two-hundred-fifty women who underwent elective fertility preservation at a tertiary center, 2019-2022 were included. Primary outcome was the number of metaphase II oocytes retrieved.

Long-Term Matched Comparison of Primary and Revisional Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Reports of long-term (> 5-15-year) outcomes assessing the safety and efficacy of primary revisional laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) are few.

Methods: Retrospective long-term comparisons of primary (pLSG) and revisional (rLSG) procedures were matched for gender, age ± 5 years, and body mass index (BMI) ± 5 kg/m. Weight loss, associated medical condition status, and patient satisfaction were evaluated.

Long-term Reported Outcomes Following Primary Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Background: Long-term laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) outcomes in patients with obesity are scarce. We aimed to examine the outcomes and subjective experience of patients who underwent primary LSG with long-term follow-up.

Methods: The study is a retrospective observational analysis of patients who underwent primary LSG in a single center with 5-15 years of follow-up.
