Evaluation of the Preoperative Slide Test in the Prediction of Intra-Abdominal Adhesions: A Single-Center, Double-Blinded, Prospective Observational Study.

Background: To evaluate the efficacy of the preoperative ultrasonographic sliding sign in predicting intra-abdominal adhesions.

Methods: This was a single-center, double-blinded, prospective observational study undertaken from March and September 2021 on 110 patients with a history of previous abdominal surgery. All patients who were scheduled for laparoscopy underwent slide test in 5 zones of abdomen: right lower quadrant, left lower quadrant, previous operation site, vesicouterine pouch, and rectovaginal pouch.

Is Endocervical Glandular Involvement Related to The Depth of Cone Biopsy?

This study aimed to determine whether endocervical glandular involvement by squamous intraepithelial lesion would differ with respect to the depth of the excised specimen and analyze the related factors that may define endocervical glandular involvement among cases treated with cone biopsy. Between April 2016 and December 2018, women who underwent colposcopy and excisional procedures in the department of gynecologic oncology were retrospectively investigated. Patients with multiple specimens, or whose specimen depths were not measured, and a negative/unknown HPV status were excluded from the study.

Hormonal Changes in Clomiphene Citrate Cycles in Unexplained Infertility Can Predict Follicle Development?

Objectives: To examine the intra-cycle and inter-cycle hormonal changes in the clomiphene citrate (CC) cycle in women with unexplained infertility; and to determine the factors that may predict follicle development or CC failure.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: This study was conducted at the Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey from August 2019 to March 2020.

Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is associated with preeclampsia in a cohort of Turkish women.

We investigated the optimal cut-off level for urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in preeclamptic patients to confirm the diagnosis. Urinary NGAL concentrations were measured by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Patients with preeclampsia had significantly higher urinary NGAL concentrations than controls (mean: 387 ng/ml vs.

Single-layer versus double-layer closure of the vaginal cuff with barbed sutures in laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Objectives: The utilization of barbed sutures in laparoscopic hysterectomy has become popular among gynecologic sur-geons. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of two different techniques for closing the vaginal cuff with barbed sutures in laparoscopic hysterectomies.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was completed on 202 patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign diseases at Istanbul Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital from April 2014 through June 2016.

Intramuscular oxytocin administration before vs. after placental delivery for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage: A randomized controlled prospective trial.

Objective: Postpartum hemorrhage is still the most significant cause of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of timing of oxytocin administration on postpartum hemorrhage incidence in parturients with low-risk for postpartum hemorrhage.

Study Design: A randomized controlled trial was completed on 343 women at a level-three care hospital.

Comparison of active vs. expectant management of the third stage of labor in women with low risk of postpartum hemorrhage: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To compare the 'strictly' active management protocol in women with low risk of postpartum hemorrhage using the expectant management protocol with respect to changes in hematologic parameters, uterotonics, blood transfusions, or additional interventions.

Material And Methods: A randomized controlled prospective trial in which 934 singleton parturients enrolled; 654 were randomly assigned to the active and mixed management groups. The primary outcome parameter was the reduction in hemoglobin concentrations due to delivery, and the secondary outcome parameters were changes in hemoglobin of more than 3 g/dL (ΔHb ≥ 3 g/dL), durations of the third stage of labor, need for additional uterotonic agents, blood transfusions, manual removal of the placenta, and surgical evacuation of retained products of conception.

Conservative treatment of a gossypiboma causing uterine wound dehiscence.

We present a rare case with gossypiboma following cesarean section which led to uterine wound dehiscence. A 30-year-old woman had been submitted to an emergency cesarean section 4 months previously at another hospital. Clinical and ultrasound findings revealed a large intra-abdominal mass and diffuse peritonitis.
