The impact of metronidazole on pain persistence after fertility-sparing endometriosis surgery: METROFERT randomized study.

Background: Recent studies have shown that a disrupted microbiome is associated with endometriosis. Despite endometriosis affecting 1 in 10 reproductive-aged women, there is a lack of innovative and nonhormonal long-term effective treatments. Studies have reported an approximately 20% to 37.

Racial disparities between measures of area deprivation and financial toxicity, and uterine volume in myomectomy patients.

Background: At time of myomectomy, a surgical procedure to remove uterine fibroids, Black women tend to have larger uteri than White women. This makes Black patients less likely to undergo a minimally invasive myomectomy which has been shown to have less postoperative pain, less frequent postoperative fever and shorter length of stay compared to abdominal myomectomies. The associations between individual financial toxicity and community area deprivation and uterine volume at the time of myomectomy have not been investigated.

Robotic Applications for Benign Gynecologic Procedures.

Introduction: Robotic systems provide a platform for surgeons to expand their capabilities, allowing them to perform complex procedures safely and efficiently. Within the field of benign gynecology, this has become an increasingly popular option since receiving Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in 2005. However, the appropriate indications for robotic versus laparoscopic surgery continue to be debated.

Latest Advances in the Laparoscopic Treatment of Uterine Fibroids.

Introduction: Fibroids are highly prevalent among reproductive-aged women and have a significant impact on their wellbeing. Myomectomy is a fertility-sparing option for these patients.

Materials And Methods: This paper is a comprehensive, evidence-based and updated review of literature regarding myomectomy techniques.

The Effect of Distraction during Labor Induction on Timing of Analgesia Request: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To assess whether distraction using music and/or video games influences timing of analgesia request and improves pain outcomes in women undergoing labor induction.

Study Design: A total of 219 pregnant women with singleton gestation undergoing labor induction with a Foley bulb (FB) at term were randomized to distraction with music and video games via iPod ( = 109) or no iPod ( = 110). The primary outcome was the time from FB placement to request for pain medication.
