To better understand the relationship between weight and the risk of complications in individuals undergoing hysterectomy, researchers examined how BMI impacts surgical quality metrics.
For their literature review, the researchers included studies conducted before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluated the management strategies for ectopic pregnancies during those periods.
Uterine atony is the most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage. Researchers developed a risk-prediction model to identify women at risk of uterine atony after both vaginal and cesarean delivery.
Researchers sought to compare the difference in total surgical time needed and associated complications for laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with in-bag morcellation vs uncontained morcellation. ...
Researchers examined the efficacy of a modified surgical technique to reduce maternal bleeding and potentially avoid hysterectomy during cesarean section in women with massive bleeding from placenta...
Using an intent-to-treat approach, researchers examined how planned cesarean delivery in low-risk pregnancies compares to planned vaginal delivery on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Rates of complications and length of hospital stay are decreasing among women undergoing planned benign hysterectomies, according to research presented at AAGL Virtual 2020.
