Labiaplasty Outcomes and Complications in Turkish Women: A Multicentric Study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to evaluate the outcomes, complication rates, and complication types of different labiaplasty techniques.

Methods: In this cross-sectional retrospective study, a total of 2,594 patients who underwent surgery owing to hypertrophy or asymmetry of the labium minus were retrospectively analyzed. Data were collected by individual interviews with 43 experts from different centers.

Impact of preoperative carbohydrate loading on postoperative course and morbidity in debulking surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer.

Despite the theoretical benefits, the favorable effect of preoperative carbohydrate loading on postoperative morbidity remains controversial. Most of the outcomes reported in the literature are derived from non-gynecologic surgery data, with only one study involving a limited number of patients specifically in gynecological oncology. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of carbohydrate loading, as a single element of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, on postoperative course and morbidity in patients undergoing debulking surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Comparison of Bishop's score and cervical length in determining the need for cervical maturation before labor induction.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the evaluation of cervical length measured by the Bishop score and transvaginal ultrasonography in determining the need for prostaglandin application for cervical ripening in term nulliparous pregnancies.

Material And Methods: In our study, a total of 120 patients who were admitted to our hospital between February 2015 and August 2015 were divided into two groups as cervical length group and Bishop score group according to hospitalization order by applying the Permuted Block Randomization method, which is one of the Restricted Randomization methods. Each patient included in the study was evaluated with both the Bishop score and transvaginal ultrasonography.

Aggressive Angiomyxoma. A case series of eight years of experience.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma is a type of mesenchymal tumor occurring predominantly in the pelvic and perineal region. The aim of our study was to reveal our experience with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) treatment in patients with angiomyxoma and provide a comprehensive review of management.

Patients And Methods: This study is a case-series including seven female patients diagnosed with aggressive angiomyxoma from a single institution, between 2012 and 2020.

Effects of melatonin on ovarian reserve in cigarette smoking: an experimental study.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate whether melatonin has a protective effect against diminished ovarian reserve induced by smoking.

Material And Methods: Seventy-two female Wistar-Albino rats were divided into 6 groups: group I (room air), group II (chronic cigarette smoking), group III (room air + 10 mg/kg subcutaneous melatonin), group IV (room air + 20 mg/kg subcutaneous melatonin), group V (chronic cigarette smoking + 10 mg/kg subcutaneous melatonin), group VI (chronic cigarette smoking + 20 mg/kg subcutaneous melatonin). For 45 days, rats were exposed to cigarette smoke through a smoking machine, then subcutaneous melatonin was administered.

Pregnancy worsens the morbidity of COVID-19 and this effect becomes more prominent as pregnancy advances.

Objective: To investigate pregnancy outcomes and compare the clinical characteristics of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease in pregnant and agematched non-pregnant women.

Materials And Methods: Hospital records of four tertiary care centers were reviewed retrospectively. The subjects comprised 188 pregnant patients and 799 non-pregnant women who were admitted to these hospitals.
