Clinical outcomes after 2-year follow-up of transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy after 2 years follow-up of transvaginal radiofrequency ablation (TVRA) to treat myomas, and to identify factors predictive of the response to the treatment.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of a 2-year follow-up of 65 patients who underwent TVRA for the treatment uterine fibroids at Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital in Granada, Spain. Ultrasound mean fibroid volume, symptom severity scale, total bleeding days, complications, pregnancy outcomes were recorded.

Complications of transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of fibroids: A 5-year experience.

Introduction: Transvaginal radiofrequency ablation is a relatively noninvasive approach for the treatment of fibroids in patients who do not wish to undergo conventional surgery. Information on potential complications of this novel technique is very scarce.

Methods: Retrospective, descriptive, epidemiological study of 115 patients who underwent transvaginal radiofrequency ablation of fibroids and for whom complications were recorded.

Efficacy, Complications, and Factors Predictive of Response to Treatment with Transvaginal Radiofrequency Ablation for Symptomatic Uterine Myomas.

Study Objective: Transvaginal radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for myomas in women who wish to preserve their uterus. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transvaginal radiofrequency to treat myomas and to identify factors predictive of the response to treatment.

Design: Prospective case series.

Associations of Vitamin D Deficiency, Parathyroid hormone, Calcium, and Phosphorus with Perinatal Adverse Outcomes. A Prospective Cohort Study.

Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to perinatal adverse outcomes. Studies conducted to date have recommended assessing interactions with other vitamin D-related metabolites to clarify this subject. We aimed to evaluate the association of vitamin D deficiency during early pregnancy with preterm birth.

Accuracy of fetal sex determination on ultrasound examination in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and success rate of sex determination on transabdominal sonographic examination at 11-13 weeks' gestation and to identify factors influencing accuracy.

Methods: In this prospective observational evaluation of 672 fetuses between 11 weeks' and 13 weeks + 6 days' gestational age (GA), we determined fetal sex according to the angle of the genital tubercle viewed on the midsagittal plane. We also analyzed maternal, fetal, and operator factors possibly influencing the accuracy of the determination.
