Automatic Segmentation and Alignment of Uterine Shapes from 3D Ultrasound Data.

Background: The uterus is the most important organ in the female reproductive system. Its shape plays a critical role in fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Advances in medical imaging, such as 3D ultrasound, have significantly improved the exploration of the female genital tract, thereby enhancing gynecological healthcare.

The Future of Adhesion Prophylaxis Trials in Abdominal Surgery: An Expert Global Consensus.

Postoperative adhesions represent a frequent complication of abdominal surgery. Adhesions can result from infection, ischemia, and foreign body reaction, but commonly develop after any surgical procedure. The morbidity caused by adhesions affects quality of life and, therefore, it is paramount to continue to raise awareness and scientific recognition of the burden of adhesions in healthcare and clinical research.

A septate uterus with double cervix during two pregnancies: pregnancy outcome before and after cervix sparing metroplasty. A case report.

In this case report we present a patient with different pregnancy outcomes after IVF treatments. After an extremely premature delivery in her first pregnancy, a vaginal 3D ultrasound scan revealed a correct diagnosis for her uterine anomaly: A complete uterine septum, double cervix and non-obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum, classified as U2bC2V1 according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and EmbryologyEuropean Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESHRE-ESGE)-classification. She underwent a cervix sparing metroplasty and had a spontaneous vaginal birth at 41+2 weeks gesttation.

Hysteroscopy in recurrent in-vitro fertilisation failure (TROPHY): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial.

Background: The success rate of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) remains low and many women undergo multiple treatment cycles. A previous meta-analysis suggested hysteroscopy could improve outcomes in women who have had recurrent implantation failure; however, studies were of poor quality and a definitive randomised trial was needed. In the TROPHY trial we aimed to assess whether hysteroscopy improves the livebirth rate following IVF treatment in women with recurrent failure of implantation.
