Prognostic factors of poor surgical outcome after clitoral reconstruction in women with female genital mutilation/cutting.

Background: Complications of surgical clitoral reconstruction for female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) are a rare occurrence, but there has been reports of patients experiencing chronic pain or clitoral burial.

Aim: This study aims to assess which factors are predictive of the occurrence of surgical complications in women who had surgical reconstruction for FGM/C (type 1, 2, or 3).

Methods: This monocentric retrospective study was conducted among patients who underwent clitoral reconstruction after FGM/C from January 2016 to March 2020.

Impact of prenatal corticosteroid therapy on sickle cell disease in pregnant women.

Objective: To evaluate safety of prenatal corticosteroids in pregnancies of women with sickle cell disease.

Methods: A multicenter observational study of patients with sickle cell disease, comparing vaso-occlusive crises (VOC) requiring hospital care between pregnancies with versus without prenatal corticosteroids.

Results: In 40 pregnancies exposed to prenatal corticosteroids, compared with 370 unexposed pregnancies, VOC were not more frequent (62.

Impact of Marijuana Legalization on Prevalence of Maternal Marijuana Use and Perinatal Outcomes.

Objective: We aimed to assess whether marijuana legalization was associated with a difference in prevalence of prenatal use or an increase in incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes.

Single port laparoscopy (SPL): Retrospective study evaluating postoperative pain in comparison with conventional laparoscopy (CL).

Objective: To compare postoperative pain after single port laparoscopy (SPL) approach with conventional laparoscopy (CL) in case of adnexectomy.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective monocentric study involving patients who underwent adnexal surgery by SPL or CL for a suspected benign disease or as a preventive measure. The main outcome measure was the level of postoperative pain.

Baseline serum glucose concentration and symptomatic haemorrhagic transformation in non-diabetic stroke patients treated by intravenous thrombolysis.
