Polyhydramnios is defined as a pathological increase of amniotic fluid volume in pregnancy and associated with increased perinatal morbidity mortality. Common causes polyhydramnios include gestational diabetes, fetal anomalies disturbed swallowing fluid, infections other, rarer causes. The diagnosis obtained by ultrasound. prognosis depends on its cause severity. Typical symptoms maternal dyspnea, preterm labor, premature rupture membranes (PPROM), abnormal presentation, cord prolapse...
<i>Objectives:</i> To report on a case of fetal varicella infection following the diagnosis maternal at 16 weeks gestation. <i>Methods:</i> Diagnosis was based serology testing and prenatal ultrasound, confirmed by DNA detection in amniotic fluid (Lightcycler-PCR). Serial ultrasound examinations were performed. <i>Results:</i> Sonographic anomalies included borderline ventriculomegaly, intracerebral, intrahepatic myocardial calcifications, limb...
Introduction: The registration of complications represents an important component in the evaluation surgical therapeutic procedures. aim present study was to examine frequency occurrence as well severity after laparoscopic-gynaecological operations a standardised manner using Clavien-Dindo system. Material and Methods: Altogether 7438 treatment courses interventions by 9 working groups were evaluated. Covariates recorded technical complexity operation, type cohort, size, data acquisition...
Abstract Purpose To assess changes in the pelvic floor anatomy that cause disorders (PFDs) primigravidae during and after pregnancy to evaluate their impact on women’s quality of life (QoL). Methods POP-Q translabial ultrasound examination was performed third trimester 3 months delivery a cohort with singleton delivering tertiary center. Results were analyzed regarding mode other pre- peripartal factors. Two individualized detailed questionnaires distributed at 12 childbirth determinate QoL....
Introduction . Sacropexy is a generally applied treatment of prolapse, yet there are known possible complications it. An essential need exists for better alloplastic materials. Methods Between April 2013 and June 2014, we performed modified laparoscopic bilateral sacropexy (MLBS) in 10 patients using MRI-visible PVDF mesh implant. Selected had prolapse POP-Q stages II-III concomitant OAB. We studied surgery-related morbidity, anatomical functional outcome, mesh-visibility MRI. Mean follow-up...
Fetuses with gastroschisis and omphalocele frequently show intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). The aim of our study was to evaluate the course IUGR neonatal outcome in a large patient collective. We retrospectively included all euploid fetuses between 2001 2009 single tertiary center. Patients' characteristics, serial ultrasound examinations outcomes were evaluated. From 39 (28 gastroschisis, 11 omphalocele) 61.5% had <5th percentile 15.4% IUGR<10th percentile. rate did not differ...

Lower uterine segment (LUS) thickness strain values have not discussed yet in this regard. A prospective cohort study was performed to examine power Bishop score parameters, length (CL), funneling, values, LUS its regarding IOL within 24 hours intervals onset labor, ROM delivery fetus. p-value < 0.05 considered...
Our study assesses the patients’ opinion about gynecological examination performed by undergraduate students (UgSts). This assessment will be used in improving our training program. A positive would mean a lower chance of patient refusing to examined tutor or student, taking into account vaginal (VE). We prospective cross-sectional survey on 1194 patients, consisting outpatient and inpatient at departments obstetrics gynecology from November 2015 May 2016. The questionnaire consisted 46...

To determine German obstetricians' self-perceived experience with vacuum and forceps deliveries.Using a web-based survey, obstetricians were invited to participate in survey. This survey was approved by the society of obstetrics gynecology.Surveys 635 received. All reported performing significantly less than deliveries. Almost all want perform more delivery, which indicates willingness learn both. More felt confident forceps. In similar obstetrical indication, most would prefer assisted...
