Objective: To evaluate ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, perioperative hemodynamic responses, postoperative analgesic efficacy, length of hospitalisation, and family satisfaction in children undergoing abdominal surgery.
Study Design: Randomised clinical trial. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation, Harran University Hospital, Turkiye, from June 2020 to June 2021.
Methodology: One hundred and eight patients aged 4-12 years in the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) 1-2 group who will undergo abdominal surgery (intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal) were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups as TAP to be performed (TAP+) and not to (TAP-) using the closed envelope method. General anaesthesia was given to the patients with standard anaesthesia protocol. Intraoperative and postoperative vitals, analgesic consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively, length of hospitalisation, pain scores with Wong Baker Facial Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS), and parent satisfaction scores with Likert satisfaction scale were recorded.
Results: Perioperative SBP, DBP, and HR were significantly lower in the TAP+group (p <0.005). Postoperative analgesic consumption and Likert satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the TAP-group compared to the TAP+Group (p <0.001). Parental satisfaction was significantly higher in the TAP+Group than in the TAP-Group.
Conclusion: The application of TAP block to children undergoing abdominal surgery; provided stable hemodynamics in the perioperative period, good analgesia in the postoperative period and increased parental satisfaction. In addition, can also shorten the hospital stays and may be routinely preferred in multimodal analgesia applications.
Key Words: Anaesthesia, Regional, Transversus abdominis plane block, Family satisfaction, Pain, Postoperative, Paediatric surgery.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strengthening on the pelvic floor function in women who have experienced OASIS two years after delivery, and the secondary objective was to educate women about PFM strengthening and instruct them on the correct way to exercise. A prospective case-control study was conducted. The participants were divided into two groups: the case group (women who experienced OASIS) and the control group (women who did not experience perineal tears but had similar obstetric-related data to the case).

Pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual health issues are common postpartum due to weakened pelvic muscles, significantly impacting women's quality of life (QoL). Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a widely used approach to address these issues. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two rehabilitation methods-vibrating vaginal cones (VCG) and PFMT exercises (CG)-in improving pelvic floor muscle strength, reducing dyspareunia, and enhancing sexual function in postpartum women.

Introduction: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is prevalent among athletes. Investigating whether athletes are practicing pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) will assist in delineating the factors underlying the burden of PFD in this population. Additionally, investigating athletes' knowledge of PFD and knowledge of and attitudes toward PFMT may inform interventions to improve the practice of PFMT.

Background: Vaginal childbirth is one of the main risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can facilitate quantitative evaluation of the morphology and function of the pelvic floor in static and dynamic environments. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in pelvic floor morphology and function in primigravida women before pregnancy (BP) and after vaginal delivery.
