Perfusion magnetic resonance imaging in Asherman syndrome.

Background: Microvascular scarring compromises the functionality of the endometrium, and vascular flow at the junctional zone (JZ) may be the key to understanding poor reproductive outcomes in women with Asherman syndrome (AS).

Aims: To investigate whether vascular perfusion of the uterus, measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is impaired in women with intrauterine adhesions (IUA) and AS.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational cohort pilot study of 23 women with IUA treated with hysteroscopic synecholysis and a control group of two patients with cervix cancer were subject to DCE-MRI with gadolinium to assess uterine vascularity.

Recommendations on the management of pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome: A formalised expert consensus.

Background: Since the development and publication of diagnostic criteria for pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) syndrome in 2008, no comprehensive work has been published on the clinical knowledge in the management of this condition. The aim of this work was to develop recommendations on the diagnosis and the management of PNE.

Methods: The methodology of this study was based on French High Authority for Health Method for the development of good practice and the literature review was based on the PRISMA method.

Topical treatment of vulvodynia, dyspareunia and pudendal neuralgia: A single clinic audit of amitriptyline and oestriol in organogel.

Background: Vulvodynia and pudendal neuralgia comprise significant contributors to vulvar-related pain and its impact on daily life.

Aim: A retrospective clinical audit was conducted at the Women's Health & Research Institute of Australia, Sydney, to determine the pattern of use and the efficacy of the application of topical amitriptyline 0.5% plus oestriol 0.

Asherman syndrome: Audit of a single-operator cohort of 423 cases.

Background: The diagnosis of Asherman syndrome, or 'intra-uterine adhesions' is often overlooked when the symptoms of amenorrhea and hematometra are missing.

Aims: This audit reviews the clinical data of a large cohort of patients treated by a single operator.

Materials And Methods: From July 1998 till the end of December 2017, 423 patients with intra-uterine adhesions were treated by a single operator.

Fractional CO laser for treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of trans-vaginal fractional CO laser treatment on symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.

Study Design: Women clinically diagnosed with SUI preferring non-surgical treatment were recruited to the study. Fractional CO laser system (MonaLisa T, DEKA) treatments were administered trans-vaginally every 4-6 weeks for a total of three treatments.
