Comparison of laparoscopic lateral suspension and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with concurrent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We compared the outcomes of women who underwent laparoscopic lateral suspension with concurrent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (LLS-TLH) with those of women who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with concurrent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (LSC-TLH) for apical and/or anterior vaginal wall prolapse.

Methods: Eighty women underwent LLS-TLH or LSC-TLH operations. According to the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q), women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse of stage 2 or higher apical and/or anterior compartment prolapse were enrolled in the study.

Correlation of Preoperative Serum and Intraoperative Peritoneal Lavage Fluid Ca-125 Levels with Postoperative Tumor Histology in Patients with Endometrial Cancer: A Prospective-Controlled Study.

Background: The role of Ca-125 in endometrial cancer is not fully known. Some authors have reported high Ca-125 levels in patients with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer, whereas others have stated that Ca-125 levels and the advance of the disease were not correlated in endometrial cancer. This makes it inevitable for clinicians to search for different measurement methods or interpretation of the present tumor markers.

Costal Cartilage Spring Graft for Late Correction of Cleft Lip Nose Deformity: New Technique.

Background: Late correction of cleft lip nose deformity continues to be a challenge because of the weakness of cartilages and the collapsing forces of tight contracted soft tissues. The authors describe the new technique of costal cartilage spring graft for columella and lower lateral cartilage as a block to achieve symmetric, aesthetically more durable, and acceptable results for the late correction of cleft lip nose deformity.

Methods: Late cleft lip nose repair with simultaneous rhinoplasty was performed in 92 patients with unilateral cleft lip nose deformity.

Reference ranges for flow velocities and the indices of the ductus venosus in low-risk pregnancies.

Objective: Ductus venosus blood flow velocity measurements are mandatory in many clinical indications. The evaluation of the flow is performed either by comparing results with general reference tables or by qualitative assessment of the “a” flow, in regard to reversed or absent flow in the spectral waveforms. The aim was to develop normal reference ranges in low-risk pregnancies in our population.

The impact of timing for estrogen supplementation in polycystic ovary syndrome patients undergoing primed in vitro maturation.

Objective: This study aims to determine the effects of early and late onset estrogen supplementation on the immature oocyte retrieval, fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and human chorionic hormone (hCG) primed in vitro maturation (IVM) cycles of the patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 161 patients with PCOS who underwent FSH and hCG primed IVM. Group 1 included 120 patients who received early onset estrogen supplementation while group 2 consisted of 41 patients who had late onset estrogen supplementation in primed IVM cycles.

Hair Transplantation in Burn Scar Alopecia After Combined Non-Ablative Fractional Laser and Microfat Graft Treatment.

Background: Burn scar and alopecia on hair-bearing areas can severely affect the social life of patients. Unlike healthy skin, poor biological and mechanical properties of scar tissue in the recipient area can reduce the survival rate of hair graft following hair transplantation.

Objectives: The authors sought to determine if combined non-ablative fractional laser (NAFL) and microfat injection could improve the survival rate of hair grafts on post burn scar.

maturation with letrozole priming: Can it be a solution for patients with cancerophobia? A pilot study.

Objective: To investigate whether letrozole priming could be used efficiently in patients undergoing maturation (IVM) as compared with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) priming.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 63 patients who underwent IVM due to the high risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (n=39), cancerophobia (n=16), and desire for IVM after failed fertilization attempts (n=8). Forty-two patients received FSH priming and 21 patients received letrozole priming.

Quantitative measurements of celeration times and indexes in the ductus venosus spectral Doppler waveforms in normal fetuses.

Background Ductus venosus spectral waveform has two peaks and two nadirs: S, v, D and a velocities, which are obtained after to some extent of accelerations or decelerations throughout a cardiac cycle. It is aimed to define the actual celeration times and indexes and their relationships with the fetal heart rate (FHR). Methods The acceleration times and indexes were measured in 357 patients between 11 and 40 weeks of pregnancies with low risk.

A Comparative Multicentric Study on Serosal and Endometrial Myomectomy During Cesarean Section: Surgical Outcomes.

Objective: This multi-center study aims to determine the efficiency and safety of endometrial myomectomy (EM) for the removal of uterine fibroids during cesarean section (CS).

Methods: Retrospective review of 360 women diagnosed for fibroids during pregnancy. They all delivered by CS between 2014 and 2019.

Noninvasive determination of the fetal cardiac interatrial pressure gradients by Doppler ultrasonography: preliminary results.

Objective: In 2000, Johnson et al. measured the atrial pressures puncturing the atria invasively in 19 fetuses that will be terminated. In this study, it is aimed to define the fetal cardiac interatrial pressure gradient noninvasively.

Combined Non-Ablative Laser and Microfat Grafting for Burn Scar Treatment.

Background: Burn scar treatment persists as an unsolved problem, involving thousands of affected patients disfigured for life.

Objectives: We sought to present our experience with the use of combined treatments for patients with burn scars.

Borderline ovarian tumors: clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes - a multicenter study.

Background: The optimal surgical management and staging of borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are controversial. Institutions have different surgical approaches for the treatment of BOTs. Here, we performed a retrospective review of clinical characteristics, surgical management and surgical outcomes, and sought to identify variables affecting disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with BOTs.

Successful Treatment of Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation due to Uterine Trauma.

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is defined as abnormal and nonfunctional connections between the uterine arteries and veins. Although the patients typically present with vaginal bleeding, some patients may experience life-threatening massive bleeding in some circumstances. The treatment of choice depends on the symptoms, age, desire for future fertility, and localization and size of the lesion; however, embolization of the uterine artery is the first choice in symptomatic AVM in patients at reproductive age with expectations of future fertility.
