Factors associated with burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows.

Background: While burnout has been identified in half of practicing physicians, no validated questionnaires have assessed burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows.

Objective: This study aimed to assess factors associated with burnout among minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows.

Study Design: Cross-sectional online survey including the validated Copenhagen Burnout Inventory: 100 minimally invasive gynecologic surgery fellows in the United States were invited, including the classes of 2021 and 2022.

"What shall we focus on?" - A thematic analysis of what characterizes cognitive-behavior therapy sessions with high or low quality of working alliance.

Objective: Several studies have shown that the quality of the working alliance predicts symptomatic improvement session-by-session, including in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). We wanted to explore what characterizes CBT sessions with high and low alliances further using qualitative analysis.

Method: Ten CBT-sessions were selected from eight patients' therapies in a larger research project on psychotherapy for patients with major depression.

Minimally invasive approach to the management of tubo-ovarian abscesses.

Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this publication is to review the most up-to-date literature regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of tubo-ovarian abscesses.

Recent Findings: Prior to the advent of broad-spectrum antibiotics, tubo-ovarian abscesses necessitated total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Although it carries a risk of treatment failure, antibiotic therapy enabled fertility-sparing treatment for many women.

Long-term outcomes for different vaginal cuff closure techniques in robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the outcomes of different vaginal cuff closure techniques in robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Study Design: Ninety women undergoing robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign disease were randomized to three vaginal cuff closure techniques: running 2.0 V-Lock™ (Arm 1), 0 Vicryl™ figure-of-eight (Arm 2), and running 0 Vicryl™ with Lapra-Ty (Arm 3).

Myomectomy to conserve fertility: seven-year follow-up.

Objective: To observe the occurrence of pregnancy in women undergoing minimally invasive and open myomectomy for symptoms attributed to uterine fibroids and who desire future pregnancy.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of women who had undergone myomectomy at least two years previously within the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, MI. We reviewed the subsequent fertility outcomes according to the fertility goals identified by each woman.
