Embryo transfer learning using medical simulation tools: a comparison of two embryo transfer simulators.

Introduction: Embryo transfer(ET) is one of the main procedures to become pregnant by assisted reproductive technology(ART). Simulation training is a way to improve the skills of clinicians. The objective of this study was to evaluate the interest of trainees in learning embryo transfer using simulators.

Prophylactic procedures associated with gynecological surgery for the management of superficial endometriosis and adhesions. Clinical practice guidelines from the French College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF).

Objective: To provide guidelines from the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF), based on the best currently available evidence, for the prophylactic procedures associated with gynecological surgery for benign disease such as superficial endometriosis lesions and adhesions.

Methods: The CNGOF has decided to adopt the AGREE II and GRADE systems for grading scientific evidence. Each recommendation for practice was allocated a grade that reflects the quality of evidence (QE) (clinical practice guidelines).

Are there specific factors associated with prenatally undiagnosed foetal macrosomia?

Objective: Fetal macrosomia is known to increase maternal and neonatal complications, but 20%-50% of the macrosomic fetuses are prenatally undiagnosed. Our objective was to identify specific factors associated with undiagnosed fetal macrosomia in women without diabetes.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study in a tertiary maternity unit between January 1st and December 31st, 2016.

Impact of Supraphysiological Estradiol Serum Levels on Birth Weight in Singletons Born After Fresh Embryo Transfer.

In assisted reproductive technology, high estradiol (E2) levels at trigger may increase the risk of low birth weight (LBW). Our objective was to investigate the impact of supra-physiological E2 levels at trigger, on the rate of LBW in singleton pregnancies following fresh embryo transfers (ET), in a center that typically employs the 'freeze-all' strategy in case of high E2 levels, to prevent ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome risk. A cohort study was conducted in a university hospital between November 2012 and January 2017.

Disparities in reproductive outcomes according to the endometrial preparation protocol in frozen embryo transfer : The risk of early pregnancy loss in frozen embryo transfer cycles.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stimulated and artificial endometrial preparation protocols on reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 1926 FET cycles over a 3.5-year period in the Fertility Unit at a University Hospital.
