Introduction Laparoscopic nephrectomy is the gold standard for kidney removal in living donors, offering advantages such as reduced pain and quicker recovery. In Morocco, where end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a growing concern, this approach could significantly impact the demand for kidney transplants. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy in the Moroccan healthcare system. Materials and methods Fifteen laparoscopic nephrectomies were analyzed, focusing on donor demographics, procedure details, and outcomes. Key parameters included donor age, BMI, operative time, warm ischemia time, and blood loss. Complications and graft outcomes were also assessed. Results The procedure was safe and effective, even in obese donors. Donors were predominantly female (80%), with an average age of 49.4 years. Obese donors had longer operative times (282 minutes vs. 220 minutes). Left kidney retrieval was preferred (95%). Warm ischemia averaged 6.27 minutes and blood loss was 207 mL. One donor had elevated creatinine postoperatively, while most maintained stable renal function. Eighteen complications, mostly minor, were reported. Conclusion Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy is a safe and adaptable procedure in Morocco, offering low complication rates and favorable outcomes. It is effective for a diverse donor population, including older and obese individuals, and may help address the country's growing transplant needs.

Successful Fertility Preservation in a Case of Low-Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma: A Multidisciplinary Approach Through the Oncofertility Network.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1% of all uterine malignancies. Standard treatment is total hysterectomy and bilateral tubal oophorectomy, although fertility preservation may be desirable because of the young age of onset. We document a case of fertility preservation in a 27-year-old nulligravida diagnosed with LGESS, which not only enabled the successful birth of two live infants but also underscores the efficacy of a multidisciplinary approach to patient treatment through the Hyogo Oncofertility Network (HOF-net).

Problem: Endometriosis and adenomyosis have common pathogenesis and close relationship, with multi-factors involved in related infertility and IVF failure. They lead to anatomical changes, ovarian reserve reduction, endocrine abnormalities, altered endometrial receptivity and immunological dysfunction. Collective evidence indicate that abnormal function of immune cells and secretion of cytokines are closely related to reproductive outcomes among the women.

Background: The study aims to describe current use of participant-reported outcome measures (PROM) to assess stress in surgeons that may impact patient and surgeon wellbeing.
Methods: Medline, Embase, Cochrane library, and clinical trial registries were searched. Articles reporting PROM of stress in live or simulated surgery were included.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed health care utilization differences between immediate (within 10 minutes after delivery) and delayed (after 24 hours) intrauterine device (IUD) placements using data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California.
- - Results showed slightly more office visits for delayed placements, increased imaging studies for immediate placements, and fewer laparoscopic surgeries for immediate placements. Rare hospitalizations were also more common in the immediate group.
- - Overall, immediate IUD placement didn't lead to more office visits or pregnancies but was linked to higher imaging rates while reducing the need for surgical interventions for complications.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the safety and utility of hybrid uterine septal resection.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort trial included 16 patients who underwent hybrid uterine septal resection at Hyogo Medical University Hospital between January 2017 and September 2021. Hysteroscopic uterine septum resection was performed in 16 patients, whereas 5 patients with vaginal septal complications underwent an additional vaginal septectomy under supervision by thin laparoscopy and fluoroscopy.
