Cochrane Database Syst Rev
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses five main methods for performing hysterectomies in women with non-cancerous gynecological issues: abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and vaginal natural orifice hysterectomy, with further distinctions in laparoscopic techniques.
- The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of these surgical approaches, using data from several major medical databases and expert consultations to gather comprehensive research.
- The results from 63 studies involving 6811 women indicate that vaginal hysterectomy allows for quicker recovery compared to abdominal hysterectomy, but overall evidence quality was low to moderate due to issues with reporting and precision.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how women in a Facebook group for those affected by the Essure sterilization device share personal experiences and support each other in dealing with related medical issues.
- Analyzing 3,491 posts over two months, the research found that 92% of messages offered some form of social support, with emotional and informational support being the most common.
- The results showed a strong relationship between giving and receiving support, but only a small fraction of posts (2.2%) included direct medical advice.
Aims: During the COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, the number of reports of menstrual abnormalities increased rapidly. Here, we describe the nature and potential risk factors associated with menstrual abnormalities based on spontaneously reporting data as well as data from a prospective cohort event monitoring (CEM) study as these are poorly studied.
Methods: Reports of menstrual abnormalities received by the Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb in the spontaneous reporting system between February 2021 and April 2022 were summarized.
Objective(s): To analyze the decision-making process of both male and female sterilization in order to improve counselling and prevent regret after sterilization in the future.
Study Design: An online questionnaire regarding sterilization (counselling, sources of information and regret) was promoted on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. A total of 1107 men and women who had undergone or considered sterilization in the Netherlands filled in the questionnaire.
