Applicability of information and communication technologies in a secondary hospital pelvic floor service.

Information and Communication Technologies increase healthcare education. Since the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, they have been gaining importance. Our aim was to assess the effects of a web-based questionnaire used in a pelvic floor consultation.

Oral versus transdermal oestrogen delivery for endometrial preparation before embryo transfer: a prospective, comparative, randomized clinical trial.

Research Question: To determine whether the transdermal route is equal or superior to the oral route, when preparing the endometrium with oestrogens for embryo transfer.

Design: Prospective, randomized controlled trial; 140 patients randomized; the pills group followed a protocol with oestradiol valerate pills and the patches group followed a protocol with oestradiol hemihydrate patches. The primary variable was endometrial thickness on day 10 ± 1 of treatment.

Inadequate visits to the emergency department by pregnant women.

Inadequate emergency visits, which could be resolved in primary care, are an unnecessary expense for the healthcare service. We did a review of all gynaecology and obstetrics emergency visits by pregnant or postpartum women during 2010 and 2011 in order to describe the adequacy of the visits by pregnant women to the emergency service. We defined three levels of adequacy: adequate, moderately adequate, and inadequate.

Office Hysteroscopic Laser Enucleation of Submucous Myomas without Mass Extraction: A Case Series Study.

Background and Objectives. A new two-step hysteroscopic myomectomy carried out in the office setting and without anesthesia was feasible for the excision of submucous myomas. The objective of this study was to assess whether removal of submucous myomas from the uterine cavity after hysteroscopic laser enucleation is necessary.

Outpatient Hysteroscopic Polypectomy: Bipolar Energy System (Versapoint®) versus Mechanical Energy System (TRUCLEAR System®) - Preliminary Results.

Hypothesis: The new hysteroscopic system with mechanical energy is an effective outpatient technique for diagnosis and treatment that has certain advantages over conventional hysteroscopy in the management of endometrial polyps.

Objectives: Our primary objective was to assess the total duration of hysteroscopy and polypectomy performed in an outpatient setting comparing the new mechanical energy hysteroscopy to the bipolar energy system. Our secondary objective was to compare the level of safety of both hysteroscopic techniques using the procedure success rate, the need for subsequent referral to surgery, existing complications, and comfort experienced by the patient during the procedure.
