This study was conducted to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effects of epidural bolus administration of bupivacaine and morphine in patients after vaginal hysterectomy and vaginoplasty. A total of 100 patients who had received the elective vaginal hysterectomy and vaginoplasty were investigated retrospectively by separating them into two groups. Fifty patients who had received epidural analgesics (E group) showed significantly lower pain scores for 12 hrs after the surgery compared with 50 patients who had received intramuscular buprenorphine hydrochloride (C group). The patients in E group needed significantly less supplemental analgesics than those in C group for 2 hrs after the operation. The incidence of side effects was not significantly different between the two groups. But the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly lower in the patients in E group than those in C group. These results show that epidural bolus administration of bupivacaine and morphine is effective for postoperative pain relief and decreases the incidence of postoperative complications after vaginal hysterectomy and vaginoplasty.

Department of Biochemistry, Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health Taksim Training and Research Hospital, İstanbul, Turkey.
This prospective observational study aimed to compare abdominal hysterectomy (AH), vaginal hysterectomy (VH), and total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in terms of oxidative stress (OS) by measuring serum levels of total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI). Of the 3 groups, namely, AH, VH, and TLH, 22 patients were enrolled in each to investigate the aim of the study mentioned above. Patient demographics, clinical and surgical characteristics, and preoperative and postoperative (0th and 24th hours) serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels were investigated.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of performing a Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy on a patient with a complex surgical history, including two renal transplants. The case involves a 42-year-old female presenting with persistent menorrhagia and hypermenorrhea, unresponsive to standard treatments, and diagnosed with adenomyosis and CIN3. A detailed, step-by-step procedure of the vNOTES technique is provided, marking the first video article to document vNOTES hysterectomy in such a medical context.

Objective: Recent advancements of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery have led to the development of transvaginal natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) [1,2]. Robot-assisted vNOTES has also been explored as a method providing accurate and fine surgical procedures with improved ergonomics, visualization, wristed instruments, elimination of the hand tremor [3,4]. The objective of this video is to demonstrate the technical and anatomical highlights of a vaginal assisted NOTES hysterectomy (VANH) using the da Vinci SP (SP).

Toxic shock syndrome secondary to Group A infection is a rare but serious cause of women's morbidity and mortality which can easily be misdiagnosed. A 37-year-old woman presented to the emergency department in a state of shock after a two-day history of abdominal pain, fever, diarrhoea and green vaginal discharge. Following extensive investigations, she was proved to have septic shock secondary to Group A Despite receiving intravenous antibiotics, she required explorative laparotomy, which proceeded to subtotal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy.
