DESIGN Retrospective case-control study. SETTING II. Gynecologic Obstetrics Department, Comenius University, Bratislava. METHODS Authors analysed a group of 372 single pregnancies after completed 37th week of gestation in years 2011 to 2015 with sonographic diagnosis of isolated oligohydramnios. A control group was created with matched patients by age and parity with normal amniotic fluid volume. RESULTS We found significant differences in number of obstetric intervention between the two groups: patients with oligohydramnios had higher number of cesarean sections (71% compared to 33.9% in control group) and also the number of inductions was significantely higher (27.4% compared to 18.8%). The most common indication for cesarean delivery was presumed fetal hypoxia. We did not find any differences in numbers of neonates with low Apgar score, low umbilical ...

It can be presented as a monodermal teratoma or as a part of mature cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst). DESIGN Case report. SETTING Department of pathology, St. Elisabeth Cancer Institute, Bratislava. METHODS AND RESULTS Hereby the authors describe two cases of this rare tumour in clinically asymptomatic women, 46- and 52-year-old, whom tumours were diagnosed at preventive gynaecological examination. The tumours considered of solid - cystic features, measured 65×45×40 mm and 75×45×40 mm and both contained parts of SC represented by tougher yellowish gelatinous areas. In both cases, SC was a part of the mature cystic teratoma (dermoid cyst), with predominated content. Histologically, both SC had a characteristic composition of intimate mixture of mature thyroid tissue and carcinoid. Immunohistochemically, the thyroid tissue stained positively with cyto...

Methods: A prospective study in 150 patients with stage IA1–IB2 cervical cancer treated by uterine surgery with bilateral SLN biopsy. Objective LLL assessments, based on limb volume increase (LVI) between pre- and postoperative measurements, and subjective patient-perceived swelling were conducted in six-month periods over 24-months post-surgery. Results: The cumulative incidence of LLL at 24 months was 17.3% for mild LLL (LVI 10–19%), 9.2% for moderate LLL (LVI 20–39%), while only one patient (0.7%) developed severe LLL (LVI > 40%). The median interval to LLL onset was nine months. Transient edema resolving without intervention within six months was reported in an additional 22% of patients. Subjective LLL was reported by 10.7% of patients, though only a weak and partial correlation between subjective-report and objective-LVI was f...

Central pathology review of SLN pathological ultrastaging was conducted in the prospective SENTIX/European Network of Gynaecological Oncological Trial (ENGOT)-CX2 study. All specimens from at least two patients per site were submitted for the central review. For cases with major or critical deviations, the sites were requested to submit all samples from all additional patients for second-round assessment. From the group of 300 patients, samples from 83 cases from 37 sites were reviewed in the first round. Minor, major, critical, and no deviations were identified in 28%, 19%, 14%, and 39% of cases, respectively. Samples from 26 patients were submitted for the second-round review, with only two major deviations found. In conclusion, a high rate of major or critical deviations was identified in the first...

BACKGROUND: The uterine artery embolisation (UAE) has become an accepted treatment method for uterine fi broids. In general, the unilateral embolisation is considered to be insuffi cient due to poor clinical effect. METHODS: Overall, 165 uterine artery embolisations were analysed (retrospectively-prospectively) in 163 female patients. Intraprocedural complications and their impact on the possibility to perform bilateral embolisationwere evaluated. In patients with unscheduled unilateral embolisation, short-term as well as longterm clinical effects were observed with mean follow-up period of 41 months. RESULTS: The bilateral uterine artery embolisation was possible in 95.7 % (95 %, CI 91.3-99.4 %) procedures. The unilateral embolisation was reported in 7 procedures (4.3 %, CI 1.2-8.3 %) and reasons were following: resistant arterial spasm in 4 patients (2.5 %, CI 0.7 %-5.3 %) and impossible catheterisation due to unfavourable anatomic situation in 3 patients (1.8 %, CI 0.3-4.1 %). Other complications, such as dissection and perforation, did not affect the successful technical realisation. The long-term clinical effect of unscheduled unilateral embolisation was reported in 5 patients. CONCLUSION: The results of our series of unscheduled unilateral uterine fi broid embolisation had high longterm clinical success rate. In way of unscheduled unilateral embolisation, we recommend MRI follow-up and reintervention only in way of persistence or recurrence of symptoms with concurrent MRI fi nding of residual fi broids(Tab.

Several techniques have been described to treat this condition. Some techniques have been suggested as golden standard; however, new are still being tried. Case report: This is a case of a 32-year-old patient who had successful ablation of the acardiac twin with Histoacryl. The diagnosis of the acardiac twin was made in the 11 weeks þ 3 weeks of pregnancy. Due to the development of myocardial hypertrophy and pericardial transudate of the pumping fetus, we had performed ablation of the acardiac twin with Histoacryl in the 21 weeks' þ5 weeks' gestation. The procedure was uneventful, and the healthy fetus had no signs of distress. In the 33 weeks' þ5 weeks' gestation, she had Cesarean section due to distress of the healthy fetus. The female baby was healthy, weighing 2380 g, Apgar score 9/10. The mummified mass of acardiac fetus weighted 300 g. Nine months later, the child is doing well. Conclusion: Histoacryl is suitable for the ablation of an acardiac twin. Further studies are needed to prove the efficacy of this technique.

This statement has now been updated after the most recent literature was reviewed by AGO Kommission Ovar, the AGO Study Group, NOGGO, AGO Austria and AGO Switzerland. The authors conclude that HIPEC remains experimental. Its use is not recommended and should be rejected outside of prospective controlled trials.

The Directive reduced the average amount of hours trainee doctors worked to 48 hours per week. However, its adoption has varied throughout the EU. Its potential effect on both the quality and total amount of hours of -training has caused concern. This monograph presents data on Obstetrics and Gynaecology training in Europe obtained from several of the European Network of Trainees in Obstetrics & Gynaecology's (ENTOG) surveys. The monograph demonstrates large variations in training and explains the difficulties in ascertaining whether 48 hours of training a week is sufficient to become an Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist in Europe.

The most important cause of growth restriction and poor perinatal outcome is chronic fetal hypoxemia (CFH). Adaptation to CFH can be studied by Doppler velocity waveform on umbilical and fetal arteries and cardiotocography (CTG). Preterm delivery, as an elimination of CFH, has to be confronted with the risks of prematurity. A special situation may occur when CTG is normal at the absence of end-diastolic velocity (AEDV). AEDV in the umbilical artery precedes the onset of abnormal CTG, whose duration differs considerably among the fetuses. The time after the onset of AEDV in pregnancy may be utilized for performing exact diagnosis by fetal blood analysis. Primigravida at 30 gestational weeks was referred because of IUGR. IUGR, AEDV, oligohydramnion, and normal fetal anatomy were revealed. CTG was normal. Indication for cordocentesis was to perform cord blood gases analysis and to obtain fetal caryotype...

Using the method of DNA hybridization, the authors examined for HPV infection of the uterine cervix 245 users of contraception, incl. 127 women using hormonal contraception and 118 women with IUD. 112 women of this group were examined before they started to use contraception and one year after started to use it. The control group was formed by 143 using no contraception. The authors found a significantly higher incidence of HPV infection of the uterine cervix in the group of women using contraception (24.1%) than in the control group (15.4%). On analysis of the group of women using contraception, as compared with the control group, they found a significantly higher incidence of HPV in women with hormonal contraception (26.0%) while the higher prevalence of HPV (by 6.6%) in women with IUD as compared with the cont...

Our secondary goal was to design and validate a risk predictive index (RPI) for classifying patients depending on the risk of recurrence. Methods Overall, 1116 women were included from January 2013 to December 2014. We randomly divided our sample into two cohorts: discovery and validation cohorts. The test group was used to identify the independent variables associated with relapse, and with these variables, we designed our RPI. The index was applied to calculate a relapse risk score for each participant in the validation group. Results A previous cone biopsy was the most significant independent variable that lowered the rate of relapse (odds ratio [OR] 0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17–0.60). Additionally, patients with a tumor dia...
