Aim: The aim of this study was to document the clinical and cytogenetic results of a large series of amniocentesis (AS) cases from Turkey.
Material And Methods: Second-trimester amniocentesis cases performed in Suleymaniye Maternity Hospital for Research and Training between January 2007 and December 2011 were included.
Results: During this period, 6124 AS were performed.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) in trisomic and normal fetuses during the routine detailed ultrasonography in the second trimester and to evaluate the potential value of ARSA as an ultrasonographic marker for trisomy 21.
Methods: The presence of normal brachicephalic trunk/or ARSA was confirmed in all pregnant women undergoing second trimester detailed fetal anomaly screening beyond 16th week of pregnancy. Amniocentesis following genetic councelling was recommended to all women having either any positive ultrasonographic marker including ARSA or a positive biochemical screening test (triple test) result.
Background/aims: It was the aim of this study to determine if intraoperative digital dilatation of the closed internal cervical ostium affects the healing of the uterine scar after a cesarean section (CS).
Methods: In this randomized, prospective study, 94 term pregnant patients who elected to have a CS were assigned to two groups: intraoperative digital dilatation of the internal cervical ostium (group I, n = 48) or no dilatation (group II, n = 46). Vaginal ultrasound was used to check the integrity of the cesarean scar at the uterine incision site 40-42 days after the operation.
