Informational video impact before caesarean delivery on anxiety and satisfaction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Anxiety prior to caesarean section can lead to a negative birth experience, which may affect different aspects of woman's life in the long term. Improving preoperative information may result in lower anxiety leading to a more positive birth experience. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the impact of informational video before planned caesarean delivery on maternal anxiety and satisfaction.

A novel injection technique for ilioinguinal nerve block for post-operative pain relief in caesarean delivery - a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Aim: To determine whether the novel method is successful in blocking both ilioinguinal nerves to lessen postoperative pain following caesarean surgery.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2022 and January 2023, 300 patients were enrolled in this study at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments of the Faculty of Medicine at Al-Azhar University. About 150 of these patients received bupivacaine infiltration on both sides close to the anterior superior iliac spine, and 150 received a normal saline injection at the same locations.

Transverse versus longitudinal blunt extension of the uterine incision during cesarean section in women with a uterine scar of previous cesarean delivery: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare two different blunt extension techniques of the lower segment transverse uterine incision at cesarean delivery in women with a uterine scar of previous cesarean delivery.

Methods: Study design: Prospective single-blinded parallel multi-center randomized controlled trial involving 392 cases equally divided into two groups. Group one had their incision extended transversely, while group two had their incision extended longitudinally.

Relationship Between Ano-vaginal Distance and Bacterial Vaginosis (Cross-sectional Study).

Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal condition caused by the overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria, owing to a shift in the vaginal microbial ecosystem. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the ano-vaginal distance and the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis. In this cross-sectional study, the ano-vaginal distance was measured in 100 women participants complaining of vaginal discharge, divided into two groups.
