Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.

Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

The prevalence of uterine isthmocele, also known as a uterine niche, has risen in parallel with increasing cesarean section (CS) rates, affecting approximately 60% of women depending on their history of cesarean deliveries. This condition, now categorized as cesarean scar disorder (CSD) by the "Delphi consensus," is characterized by one primary or two secondary symptoms. Diagnosis can be made through transvaginal ultrasound, sonohysterography, hysteroscopy, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Müllerian anomalies (MA) occur as a result of errors during embryogenesis. These changes are associated with genetic mutations, developmental disabilities, or environmental causes that affect the embryonic development stages. This paper describes a rare case report of a 22-year-old female who came to our hospital due to dyspareunia after one year of evolution.

Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective study analyzed 206 patients who had hysteroscopic polypectomy to assess the impact of different types of background endometrium on the prognosis of endometrial polyps (EPs).
  • The researchers classified the endometrial tissues into four categories: normal proliferative endometrium, polypoid hyperplastic endometrium, chronic endometritis, and non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia, using statistical analysis to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.
  • Key findings revealed that conditions like chronic endometritis and non-atypical hyperplasia were linked to higher rates of EP recurrence and poor management of abnormal uterine bleeding, indicating the relevance of endometrial pathology in treatment outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • A 36-year-old woman with a history of congenital hydrocephalus experienced complications from her VP shunt, including an infected abdominal incision with no recent infection risks other than a minor gynecological procedure.
  • Cultures revealed unusual bacteria, leading to the externalization and eventual removal of her shunt, alongside a course of intravenous and oral antibiotics, which successfully healed the infection.
  • The case highlights the need for thorough investigation of infections in shunt patients, even when they present atypically or outside the standard timeframe for infections.
