Ovarian reserve markers of women with superficial endometriosis.

Objective: Endometriosis affects up to 10% of reproductive age women and is associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. While previous studies have shown an association between deep and ovarian endometriosis to reduced ovarian reserve, there is no data on the effect of superficial endometriosis on ovarian reserve markers. Hence, we aimed to compare ovarian reserve markers of women with superficial endometriosis to that of women without endometriosis.

Repair of uterine rupture following vaginal delivery: A comparison between minimally invasive and open repair.

Objective: To compare operative data and patient satisfaction between open and laparoscopic surgery for postpartum-diagnosed uterine rupture.

Methods: In this questionnaire-based cohort study, the authors collected all cases of postpartum-diagnosed uterine rupture after vaginal delivery between 2016 and 2020 in a single academic tertiary center. The cohort was divided according to surgical method of repair, and demographic, clinical, operative and postoperative data were collected and compared between groups.

The effect of SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 vaccine on the symptoms of women with endometriosis.

Purpose: As the use of the messenger RNA (mRNA) BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine has grown, reports on menstrual changes have arisen. We aimed to examine menstrual bleeding patterns and endometriosis-associated symptoms after receiving the mRNA BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in women with endometriosis, as compared to the control group.

Methods: This is a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study including a total of 174 women.

The effect of BNT162b2 SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine on menstrual cycle symptoms in healthy women.

Objective: To investigate the impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine on women's menstrual cycle.

Methods: In this questionnaire-based cross-sectional study, we assessed menstrual pattern and changes in women who completed the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine 3 months before and after receiving the vaccine. Included were women aged 18-50 years without known gynecologic comorbidities who regularly monitor their menstruation through electronic calendars.

Removing the large uterus without morcellation - The Colpo-V incision for specimen extraction at hysterectomy.

Background: Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed benign gynaecological surgery. Recently, the rates of minimally invasive hysterectomy have fallen due to the banning of mechanical morcellation techniques that rendered minimal invasive gynaecology surgeons unable to extract large uteri from the relatively small colpotomy incisions.

Aims: This study aims to share our experience in utilising Colpo-V incision to remove large uterine specimens transvaginally and report its success and complication rates to promote a minimal invasive approach in patients with large uteri without the need to perform large abdominal incisions or transabdominal morcellation.

Long-term patient-reported outcomes after laparoscopic Burch colposuspension.

Background: The negative media attention surrounding vaginal mesh procedures has seen a rise in demand for minimally invasive non-mesh options for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The laparoscopic Burch colposuspension (LBC) is a non-mesh alternative to synthetic midurethral slings (MUS) with similar short-term outcomes. However, long-term outcomes are not well established.

Laparoscopic Myomectomy of a 4.2 kg Fibroid with Assistance of a Minilaparotomy.

The improved cosmesis and recovery from minimally invasive techniques has seen a dramatic rise in its popularity. Unfortunately, the laparoscopic myomectomy for large fibroids presents a unique challenge to the surgeon. It is reputed to be difficult and time consuming, with a high risk of conversion to laparotomy.

Surgical Management of Complete Procidentia in a Female Patient with Bladder Exstrophy-epispadias Complex: Case Report and Literature Review.

We herein describe the operative approach of a postmenopausal woman with a history of surgically corrected congenital bladder exstrophy-epispadias who presented with long-standing complete procidentia. The patient was initially treated by laparoscopic sacral colpopexy in conjunction with a modified Elevate mesh kit anterior vaginal repair with and posterior vaginal wall repair in the form of native tissue suture plication repair. Her prolapse recurred 8 months' later due to a detachment of the mesh at the level of the promontorium.

Endometriosis Involving the Sciatic Nerve: A Case Report of Isolated Endometriosis of the Sciatic Nerve and Review of the Literature.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition which affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of women with pelvic pain and infertility. The most commonly affected areas are the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal septum. Isolated endometriosis of the sciatic nerve is very rare.
