Conservative management of preterm premature rupture of membranes < 30 weeks of gestational age: Effectiveness of clinical guidelines implementation strategies.

Objective: To compare obstetrical and neonatal outcomes in patients with p-PROM (preterm premature rupture of membranes) at less than 30 weeks of gestational age before and after the application of protocols developed on the basis of international guidelines and to identify local barriers and strategies for their implementation.

Study Design: Single and twin pregnancies with p-PROM < 30 weeks of gestation without signs of infection were retrospectively collected. The population was divided in two groups.

Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy versus pelvic organ prolapse suspension for surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse: a retrospective study.

This retrospective surgical clinical study compares clinical and functional effects of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) and laparoscopic pelvic organ prolapse suspension (L-POPS) for anterior and central prolapse correction. Thirty patients enrolled were affected by a symptomatic vaginal central compartment stage 2-3 prolapse and vaginal anterior compartment stage 1-3 prolapse without vaginal posterior compartment prolapse. A successful correction of anterior and central compartments prolapse without relapses were observed in both groups (LSC group versus L-POPS group).

AGEs-related dysfunctions in PCOS: evidence from animal and clinical research.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common female endocrine disorder in women in their reproductive age. In recent years, the role of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in PCOS has gained great attention. AGEs are highly reactive molecules that can be assumed by diet or endogenously synthesized as by-products of metabolic processes.

Comparison of absorbable and permanent sutures for laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common cause of morbidity and decreased quality of life among women and is treatable by laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. Recent data suggest that absorbable sutures are a feasible and appealing option for mesh attachment given a potential decreased risk of complications related to mesh erosion. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the non-inferiority of absorbable sutures to permanent sutures for laparoscopic sacrocervicopexy.
