Abdominal Hysterectomy with a Uterine Manipulator Minimizes Vaginal Shortening: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: We aimed to investigate the impact of adopting an uterine manipulator (UM) on the postoperative (VL) and female sexual function index (FSFI) in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy (AH) for benign gynecological disease.

Materials And Methods: Hysterectomies were performed with the Richardson technique; two variations, a UM or digital guidance, in this technique were used during the colpotomy step. Subjects were randomized and allocated to either hysterectomy with UM guidance (study group) or conventional hysterectomy (control group).

Laparoscopic Ovarian Transposition and Ovariopexy for Fertility Preservation in Patients Treated with Pelvic Radiotherapy with or without Chemotherapy.

Background: Preservation of fertility in cancer patients of reproductive age is a concern for both the patient and the clinician. In this study, we aimed to study the effectiveness of laparoscopic ovarian transposition or ovariopexy in preserving ovarian function in women undergoing pelvic radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy for pelvic tumours.

Methods: The records of patients who underwent laparoscopic ovarian transposition or ovariopexy prior to pelvic radiation therapy between 2002 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively.

Do barbed sutures with different surface textures have different effects on adhesion formation and histological features? An experimental blinded study in an animal model.

Background: The obstetrics and gynecology literature has expanded in recent years to include clinical trials assessing the use of barbed sutures. The difficulty of intracorporeal suturing continues to be a barrier to a wider use of laparoscopy. Although the use of barbed sutures has been shown to ease the process of laparoscopic suturing considerably, concerns have been raised regarding a potentially increased risk of adhesions or inflammation as a result of their use.
