Day case transobturator tapes: a cut and dried solution.

Background: The transobturator tape (TOT) has been utilized in the surgical management of SUI since 2001 when it was first described and is associated with minimal risk of trauma as its purely perineal insertion avoids entry to the retropubic space. Given its high success rate, low associated peri-operative morbidity and relative ease of insertion, it has been increasingly used as a day case procedure worldwide.

Aim: This study aims to demonstrate the suitability of the transobturator tape (TOT) as a day surgery procedure in the Republic of Ireland.

Contraception for renal transplant recipients in the Republic of Ireland : a review.

Renal transplantation has extended the duration and quality of life for a growing number of women in the Republic of Ireland. Pregnancy has now become a reasonable and viable option for women who were previously too ill to conceive, leading the Royal college of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists to issue opinions on the management of women with renal disease in pregnancy. In the 10-year period, from 2000 to 2009, 1,412 renal transplants were undertaken at Beaumont Hospital, Dublin.

Use of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system in renal transplant recipients: a retrospective case review.

Our objective was to report on the use of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS, Mirena®) in renal transplant recipients. A retrospective case review was done to identify renal transplant recipients for whom a LNG-IUS had been inserted. All of the women had been seen in the Gynecology Department, Beaumont Hospital, during the period 2000 to 2010.
