The effect of unicornuate uterus on reproductive outcomes in infertile patients.

Objective: Unicornuate uterus, which is a rare congenital anomaly, has been associated with obstetric and perinatal complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reproductive outcomes of patients with unicornuate uterus, and also to compare them with outcomes of infertile patients without a Müllerian anomaly.

Methods: Retrospective analyses of the data of 18-40 year old infertile patients with unicornuate uterus diagnosed in between January 2012 and December 2022, and a control group with the same number of patients, with age and infertility durations matched were performed.

Single-center experience of laparoscopic hysterectomy: analysis of one thousand five hundred and fifteen patients.

Objective: Laparoscopic hysterectomy has become an increasingly used surgery in recent years. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features and perioperative outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign or malignant indications in a single center during a period of eight years.

Material And Methods: Data of patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy in the gynecological oncology department of a university hospital over a period of eight years was analyzed retrospectively.

Comparison of fixed and flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocols to prevent premature luteinization in patients with diminished ovarian reserve.

Purpose: Flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol is demonstrated to be effective in suppressing premature luteinization in few studies. We aimed to compare fixed and flexible PPOS protocols in preventing premature luteinization in patients with diminished ovarian reserve.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients with a diminished ovarian reserve who were administered PPOS protocols for pituitary suppression during ovarian stimulation in a tertiary center in between January 2019 and June 2022.

Feasibility of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in ovarian cancer during COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian cancer.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated ovarian cancer patients who underwent HIPEC following complete cytoreductive surgery performed during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in three different centers specializing in gynecological oncology. All patients who underwent cytoreduction plus HIPEC for a primary, interval, and recurrent surgery were evaluated.

Prevention of preterm delivery by cervical cerclage; a comparison of prophylactic and emergency procedures.

Objective: Prophylactic or emergency type cervical cerclage procedures are being used for treatment of cervical insufficiency. The aim was to review and compare the outcomes of these cerclage types and identify factors affecting outcomes.

Material And Methods: Retrospective review of seventy-five patients in whom transvaginal cervical cerclage procedures were performed over a seven-year period in a tertiary referral center.

Lumbosacral discitis as a rare complication of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Sacrocolpopexy is considered to be the gold-standard procedure for apical compartment prolapse. However, complications such as sacral hemorrhage, small bowel obstruction, port site herniation, mesh erosion, mesh exposure, and occasionally discitis may occur. The aim of this study is to show laparoscopic treatment of L5-S1 discitis 3 months following laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy.
