A road map through the multi-faceted world of female genital cosmetic surgical techniques.

The demand for female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) has significantly increased in recent years for two reasons: the advancement of surgical operations and the increased attention to women's esthetic and sexual well-being. Three authors independently analyzed different databases up to April 1, 2024. They selected the relevant data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Atypical mediastinal mass in the fetus: a review of the literature.

Objectives: Congenital thoracic masses (CTMs) are suspected in presence of solid or cystic thoracic lesions at ultrasound. The common typical fetal CTMs encompass: hyperechogenic lung lesions such as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), broncopulmonary sequestration (PS) and congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS); less common solid thoracic masses are mediastinal/pericardial tumors as rhabdomyoma and teratoma. The aim of our study is to gather the available evidence on cases of atypical CTMs of difficult classification, for which the diagnosis remains often uncertain.

Female urinary incontinence in middle-aged women in four hospitals in Northern Italy: A multicentre prevalence study.

Urinary Incontinence (UI) has been identified as a health priority by the World Health Organization. Despite being a widely discussed topic, UI remains an underrecognized condition: affected individuals often refrain from reporting it due to its status as a socially sensitive topic and a source of embarrassment. UI exhibits a markedly higher prevalence in the female population compared to males and significantly diminishes the quality of life for those affected.

Long-Term Postoperative Recurrence Rates and Fertility Outcomes After Endometrioma CO-Laser Vaporization: A Five-Year Follow-Up Experience.

Study Objective: Although cystectomy remains the gold standard for the surgical treatments of endometriomas, concerns about the negative effect on ovarian reserve are rising. Laser-CO vaporization of endometriomas has shown encouraging data on ovarian reserve preservation, postoperative pregnancy rates, and recurrence. The aim of this study was to assess postoperative recurrence rate and pregnancy rate in patients with endometriomas managed by CO fiber laser vaporization after at least 5 years following surgery.
