Tissue characteristics, tensile strength, reactivity, absorption rates, and handling properties should be taken into account when selecting a wound closure suture. This review discusses the wound healing process and the biomechanical properties of currently available suture materials to better understand how to choose suture material in obstetrics and gynecology.

Laparoscopy holds many advantages over laparotomy, including smaller surgical scars, faster recovery from surgery, and decreased time for return of bowel function. However, an appreciation of its potential complications is vital to patient care.

Pregnant women, children, and immunocompromised individuals have the highest morbidity and mortality, and Africa bears the heaviest burden. The World Health Organization defines malaria as a disease of poverty caused by poverty. Pregnant women infected with malaria usually have more severe symptoms and outcomes, with higher rates of miscarriage, intrauterine demise, premature delivery, low-birth-weight neonates, and neonatal death. They are also at a higher risk for severe anemia and maternal death. Malaria can be prevented with appropriate drugs, bed nets treated with insecticide, and effective educa...

In this review, the authors share a technique for initial umbilical entry, and provide alternative entry sites in cases where umbilical entry is contraindicated.

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been inconsistently defined. When defined as 3 consecutive pregnancy losses prior to 20 weeks from the last menstrual period, it affects approximately 1% to 2% of women. This review highlights the current understanding of the various etiologies implicated in RPL, including factors known to be causative, as well as those implicated as possible causative agents. The appropriate diagnostic evaluation, therapy, and prognosis are also addressed.

Along with the decreased potential for complications, its ease of performance with minimal anesthesia has facilitated a move from the operating room to the office.

Imaging modalities are often used in guiding therapeutic decisions for advanced cervical cancer. However, despite technologic radiographic advances, imaging results correlate variably with the histopathology of surgical specimens. The transperitoneal laparoscopic lymphadenectomy approach offers less morbidity than the traditional laparotomy approach to surgical staging, and the retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach has been demonstrated to decrease the risk of bowel injury and reduce abdominal adhesion formation, and prior abdominal surge...

PTB is a major cause of long-term health problems in neonates, including respiratory distress syndrome, chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia), infection, intraventricular hemorrhage, and severe neurologic deficit. In the absence of reliable clinical predictors of PTB, obstetric care providers should focus their attention on the 2 best and most widely accepted methods of identifying women at high risk of PTB in both nullipara and multipara: fetal fibronectin and cervical length measurements.

Some 68,000 women die of unsafe abortion annually, making it one of the leading causes of maternal mortality (13%). Of the women who survive unsafe abortion, 5 million will suffer long-term health complications. Unsafe abortion is thus a pressing issue. Both of the primary methods for preventing unsafe abortion-less restrictive abortion laws and greater contraceptive use-face social, religious, and political obstacles, particularly in developing nations, where most unsafe abortions (97%) occur. Even where these obstacles are overcome, women and health care providers need to be educated about contraception and...

In this article, the history of the use of slings for the surgical treatment of female urinary stress incontinence is reviewed, and the usual surgical routes for retropubic (transvaginal) or transobturator tape passage are described. The latest innovation in sling therapy is the use of minislings, which are short tape mesh implants inserted through a single vaginal incision; these slings may be placed in an office setting. Outcomes data are either lacking or suggest a considerable decrement of effectiveness of unstabilized minislings over full-length slings; however, the short-term efficacy of a stabilized, adjustable minisling is 97%. These results suggest benchmark effectiveness associated with full-len...

A human rights violation, child marriage directly impacts girls' education, health, psychologic well-being, and the health of their offspring. It increases the risk for depression, sexually transmitted infection, cervical cancer, malaria, obstetric fistulas, and maternal mortality. Their offspring are at an increased risk for premature birth and, subsequently, neonatal or infant death. The tradition, driven by poverty, is perpetuated to ensure girls' financial futures and to reinforce social ties. One of the most effective methods of reducing child marriage and its health consequences is mandating that girls stay in school. ...

Risk factors for GDM include history of macrosomia, strong family history of diabetes, and obesity. Screening protocol for GDM is controversial; some recommend a universal approach, whereas others exempt low-risk patients. The cornerstone of management is glycemic control. Quality nutritional intake is essential. Patients with GDM who cannot control their glucose levels with diet alone will require insulin. There is no ...

There are, however, times when the catheter is not sited within the epidural space correctly, the patient's neuraxial anatomy is problematic, or a patient's labor progresses more quickly than expected by the anesthesiologist, and the epidural block does not set up on time. In this article, the basics of neuraxial labor analgesia, the causes of its failure, and the strategies anesthesiologists employ to rescue poorly functioning catheters are reviewed.

In this review, we discuss the routine testing performed to diagnose unexplained infertility. We also discuss additional testing, such as assessment of ovarian reserve, and the potential role of laparoscopy in the complete workup of unexplained infertility. Finally, we outline the available therapeutic options and discuss the efficacy and the cost-effectiveness of the existing treatment modalities. The optimal treatment strategy needs to be based on individual patient characteristics such as age, treatment efficacy, side-effect profile, and cost considerations.

One of the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals is to reduce the maternal mortality rate by 75% by 2015. Causes of maternal mortality include postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, obstructed labor, and sepsis. Many developing nations lack adequate health care and family planning, and pregnant women have minimal access to skilled labor and emergency care. Basic emergency obstetric interventions, such as antibiotics, oxytocics, anticonvulsants, manual removal of placenta, and instrumented vaginal delivery, are vital to improve the chance of survival.

The recently approved quadrivalent HPV vaccine targets the HPV strains responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancers and 90% of genital warts. It is also effective in reducing the incidence of HPV-related conditions, especially when given prior to exposure to HPV. The vaccine is recommended for all girls aged 11 to 12 with catch-up vaccination for women up to age 26, and most insurance plans cover the vaccine. A second bivalent HPV vaccine is currently pending approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). HPV vaccination reduces the incidence ...
