Effects of human papillomavirus and LEEP on sexual function.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted viral infection in humans.

Aims: We evaluated the sexual function of human papillomavirus positive patients after colposcopy and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).

Methods: This study enrolled 344 patients with an HPV infection detected on routine screening in 2020-2022.

Influence of General and Local Anesthesia on Postoperative Pain After a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure.

Objective: To compare patient satisfaction, histopathologic results, and short-term morbidity in patients undergoing loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) under local anesthesia (LA) versus general anesthesia (GA).

Methods: Participants who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to the LA group or GA group. Pain was determined by both objective (faces pain scale-revised) and subjective (visual analog scale score) methods.

Can coffee consumption be used to accelerate the recovery of bowel function after cesarean section? Randomized prospective trial.

Objectives: To evaluate whether coffee consumption accelerates the recovery of bowel function after cesarean section or not.

Material And Methods: This study was designed as randomized controlled study. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Ultimately, Group 1 (n = 51) was the study group and drank three cups of coffee after cesarean, whereas group 2 (n = 52) was not given any treatment.

Use of additional oxytocin to reduce blood loss at elective caesarean section: A randomised control trial.

Objective: The purpose of this prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was to assess the effects of a 5-IU oxytocin bolus and placebo infusion versus a 5-IU oxytocin bolus and 30 IU infusion on the control of blood loss at elective lower segment caesarean section (C/S).

Methods: Participants with indication for elective C/S were randomly allocated to two groups. Group A, 360 women, received oxytocin 5 IU bolus and placebo; group B, 360 women received oxytocin 5 IU bolus and 30 IU infusion.

Prenatal diagnosis of complete atrioventricular septal defect: perinatal and neonatal outcomes.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to establish the outlook for fetuses diagnosed with complete atrioventricular septal defect (cAVSD) prenatally and its relation to additional cardiac, extracardiac, and chromosomal abnormalities. Methods.

Which type of mid-urethral sling procedure should be chosen for treatment of stress urinary incontinance with intrinsic sphincter deficiency? Tension-free vaginal tape or transobturator tape.

Objective: To compare tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and transobturator tape (TOT) for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Gynecology department, Bakirkoy Women and Childrens' Hospital, Istanbul.

Experience with laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy for the enlarged uterus.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of uterine weight on the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) for benign gynecological conditions.

Methods: In a retrospective observational study, 367 patients underwent LAVH (type I laparoscopic hysterectomy) for benign disorders at the Department of Gynecology at the Istanbul Bakirkoy Women and Children Hospital. Patients were divided into two groups with uterine weight <500 g and uterine weight > or =500 g.

When should we perform prophylactic antibiotics in elective cesarean cases?

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the timing of prophylactic antibiotics at cesarean delivery influences maternal and neonatal infectious morbidity.

Study Design: This was a prospective, randomized trial. Four hundred patients that underwent elective cesarean section between June and December 2007 formed the study population.
