Article Synopsis
- Septate uterus is a common uterine malformation that can negatively impact fertility, prompting treatments like hysteroscopic metroplasty for affected individuals.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of intraoperative ultrasound monitoring during hysteroscopic metroplasty compared to other monitoring methods or no monitoring at all.
- Results showed that intraoperative ultrasound significantly reduced the occurrence of residual septum greater than 10 mm and any residual septa, with similar procedure times and fewer complications, indicating potential benefits for future reproductive outcomes.
: Adenomyosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium. Despite surgery being a valuable approach, medical options are considered as the first-line approach and have been investigated in the treatment of adenomyosis, although strong evidence in favor of these is still lacking. This study aims to gather all available data and determine the effectiveness of the aforementioned medical options in patients with associated pain and not currently seeking pregnancy, both in comparison to placebo and to one another.

In these cases, prompt intrauterine insemination (IUI) could be an option (rescue IUI), but this possibility has been poorly studied.
Methods: Rescue IUI is routinely offered in our unit in women failing to retrieve oocytes, provided that they have at least one patent tube, normal male semen analysis, and the total number of developed follicles is ≤ 3.
Objective: This study described the development and psychometric evaluation of the fertility reparation inventory, providing measures of manic and expiatory reparation as symbolic dynamics of restoring one's procreative and generative identity through Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies were conducted on female patients undergoing ART (N = 150) and women from the general population (N = 250), respectively. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis assessed construct validity and reliability.
Introduction: The ever-increasing wave of immigration in Italy has posed demanding challenges in the management of the new multiethnic obstetric population. The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy and perinatal outcomes between immigrants and the native population in an Italian public hospital.
Materials And Methods: Singleton pregnant women (≥ 24 weeks of gestation) who delivered during a 3-year period in an Italian free care hospital were included.
