Update on antiadhesion barriers and therapeutics in gynecological surgery.

Purpose Of Review: Postoperative adhesions remain a clinical challenge to both patients and providers, as they are associated with significant complications and a high economic burden. This article provides a clinical review of currently available antiadhesive agents and promising new therapies that have advanced past animal studies.

Recent Findings: Several agents have been investigated on their ability to reduce adhesion formation; however, there is no widely acceptable option.

Perinatal Outcomes of Pregnancies of Unknown Location With Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Concentration Above the Discriminatory Zone.

In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the relationship between delayed presentation of first-trimester ultrasonographic landmarks of intrauterine pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. Patients presenting as pregnancies of unknown location who ultimately had intrauterine pregnancies were included and divided into two groups, determined by visualization of intrauterine landmarks at hCG <2000 or ≥ 2000. From 487 total patients, there was no significant difference in incidence of favorable perinatal outcome (73.
