Objective: This study aimed to assess trends and correlates of severe maternal morbidity at delivery among active duty women in the U.S. military, all of whom are guaranteed health care and full employment.

Urinary symptoms after bladder flap at the time of primary cesarean delivery: a randomized controlled trial (RTC).

Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to evaluate urinary symptoms in the postpartum period after omission of the bladder flap at the time of primary cesarean delivery.

Methods: This was a single-blind parallel-group randomized comparison (bladder flap, no bladder flap) in women scheduled for a primary cesarean delivery at 37 weeks gestation or later. The primary outcome was urinary symptom scores at 6-8 weeks postpartum.

Magnification effects on distance estimation during robotic suturing.

We aimed to understand the impact of magnification on distance estimation during robotic suturing. Twenty subjects estimated the lengths of various sutures externally, in plain sight, to validate their ability to measure distances. They then robotically repaired a 3-cm cystotomy, suturing 10 mm above and below the incision and 10 mm on either side of the incision.
