Published: November 2003

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility to perform laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy in patients who were not suitable for vaginal hysterectomy.

Patients And Methods: LAVH Gasless was carried out on 31 patients with uterine fibroids. Uterine weight ranged of 420-800 gr.

Results: There were 2 laparotomy conversion (6%) for uterus 800 gr; median operating time was 79 +/- 18 minutes (range 75-89); the average haemoglobin drop was 1.7 +/- 0.9 g/dl; the mean in postoperative stay was 3.7 +/- 0.7 days (range 3-5). Febrile morbidity > 38 degrees C were found in 3 cases.

Conclusions: Laparoscopic assistance has advantages in performing transection of round and infundibolo-pelvic ligaments in vaginal steps and in controlling post-operative blood loss.

Background: The "Healthy China" initiative, along with advancements in technology for cancer diagnosis and treatment, has significantly enhanced outcomes for patients with gynecologic tumors. The trends of late marriage and delayed childbirth have led to an increasing number of women diagnosed with gynecologic cancers who are seeking fertility preservation in China. This issue is critical yet often overlooked in clinical practice.

Background: The French guidelines have recommended a restrictive policy of episiotomy since 2005. We aimed to assess variations in the prevalence of both episiotomy and obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) from the 2010, 2016, and 2021 National Perinatal Surveys.

Methods And Findings: A total of 29,750 women who had given birth to a live infant by vaginal delivery were included.

Study Question: Is there an association between dydrogesterone exposure during early pregnancy and the reporting of birth defects?

Summary Answer: This observational analysis based on global safety data showed an increased reporting of birth defects, mainly hypospadias and congenital heart defects (CHD), in pregnancies exposed to dydrogesterone, especially when comparing to progesterone.

What Is Known Already: Intravaginal administration of progesterone is the standard of care to overcome luteal phase progesterone deficiency induced by ovarian stimulation in ART. In recent years, randomized controlled clinical trials demonstrated that oral dydrogesterone was non-inferior for pregnancy rate at 12 weeks of gestation and could be an alternative to micronized vaginal progesterone.

Background: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is nowadays the standard to treat benign and malignant disease occurring in the uterus, but the number of robotic-assisted surgeries is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the handling of sutures in a bi- and tri-dimensional plane, a new type of suture material has been developed, named barbed sutures, which are in use in different indications. In comparison to conventional suture materials, the barbs anchor the suture in the tissue, provide tissue approximation and prevent slippage without the need for knot tying.
