Nevertheless, the number of voluntary donors is insignificant, probably because no reimbursement is provided. Therefore, the great majority of egg donation cycles are performed by using imported cryopreserved oocytes from foreign countries. However, recent evidence has questioned the overall efficacy of this strategy in comparison with the shipment of frozen sperm and vitrified embryos.Methods: Retrospective cohort study, conducted at ANDROS Day Surgery Clinic Palermo, Italy in the period 2016-2022, with the objective of evaluating the efficiency of each batch of vitrified oocytes, in terms of completed cycles. The cryopreserved donated oocytes came from a single Spanish clinic (Next Fertility, Valencia, Spain). The primary outcome was the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR). The secondary outcomes were the cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate (COPR), the cumulative clinical pregnancy rate (CCPR) and the miscarriage rate.Results: The CLBR totaled 35.1%, the COPR 36.8%, the CCPR 49.2% and the miscarriage rate 24.7%. In the multivariate analysis, the probability of success was significantly higher in younger recipients, in fresh embryo transfer and in blastocyst-stage embryo transfer.Conclusions: Our \"transnational\" donation program with vitrified oocytes has good success rates. The main focus of our analysis is the negative effect of advancing recipient age on success rates, outlining a possible, important role of age-related uterine factor on implantation mechanisms. This aspect should be emphasized during the counselling with couples much more than is routinely done.","PeriodicalId":18572,"journal":{"name":"Minerva obstetrics and gynecology","volume":" ","pages":"180-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142604117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relaxin's effects on the cervix and pelvic ligaments suggest it could influence the mode of delivery. Higher relaxin levels have been hypothesized to facilitate vaginal delivery by promoting cervical ripening and softening of the pelvic ligaments, thereby reducing the need for cesarean sections. The involvement of relaxin in extracellular matrix remodeling suggests it could play a role in placental attachment. Some experimental studies have proposed that aberrant relaxin signaling might contribute to the development of placenta accreta by influencing the invasive properties of trophoblast cells.Evidence synthesis: The current evidence on relaxin's role in preterm birth, mode of delivery, and placenta accreta is not definitive. While there are plausible mechanisms by which relaxin could influence these outcomes, clinical studies have yet to provide strong, consistent evidence. Future research should focus on well-designed, large-scale studies to better understand the relationship between relaxin levels and these critical pregnancy outcomes.Conclusions: The focus of this review is to evaluate relaxin as a potential biomarker and its potential future therapeutic applications during pregnancy and consider the limitations that must be addressed in future studies.","PeriodicalId":18572,"journal":{"name":"Minerva obstetrics and gynecology","volume":" ","pages":"237-246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143066814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The predictive role of the UCA in spontaneous preterm births (sPTB) has been examined by numerous authors, however few data are available on UCA as predictor of labor outcome at term of pregnancy. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of transvaginal ultrasound measurement of UCA at term, and its clinical implications in obstetrics' practice.Evidence acquisition: A literature search was conducted including all studies regarding the predictive role of ultrasonographic evaluation of the UCA on labor outcomes from 1990 to 2023.Evidence synthesis: A narrative synthesis was subsequently performed dividing studies that considered posterior and anterior UCA. Five studies were included for the anterior UCA, and ten for the posterior UCA. UCA was then evaluated as predictor of prolonged latent phase and predictor of the onset and mode of delivery.Conclusions: It is likely that the combination of multiple cervical parameters, rather than UCA assessment alone, together with clinical information, can achieve higher levels of accuracy in predicting delivery outcomes. Future prospective studies are needed to define with greater certainty the role of UCA as a useful screening tool before laboring, but, until then, the use of UCA as a screening test to predict labor outcome should remain investigational.","PeriodicalId":18572,"journal":{"name":"Minerva obstetrics and gynecology","volume":" ","pages":"119-127"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142522401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since no previous data are available on the topic, the aim of this study was to evaluate the HCRU and economic impact on the Italian HC system of vaginal birth (VB) and CD in women with a LLP.Methods: This retrospective study used patient-level real-world data of a cohort of women with a LLP confirmed at 28-30 weeks. A cost-minimization analysis (CMA) was conducted to compare VB and CD. Since Diagnosis-Related-Group payment may not reflect the actual use of hospital resources, a micro-costing analysis (MCA) was performed to more comprehensively evaluate the economic impact of VB and CD.Results: The study included 86 women with a LLP at the third trimester scan, of which 49 (57%) had a VB and 37 (43%) underwent a CD. The CMA showed an economically marginal difference between VB and CD, especially when considering opportunity costs associated with the resources needed to look after women. However, the MCA identified charges for each VB being about half of those for each CD.Conclusions: The use of patient-level real-world data allowed to generate basic information to assess the value of available interventions in case of LLP.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the success rate, safeness, and time to delivery after the induction of labor (IOL), with the alternately first use of dinoprostone or Foley balloon, in high-risk pregnancy nulliparous women with unfavorable Bishop Score (BS).Methods: This is a retrospective study of high-risk nulliparous women who underwent the IOL, either with dinoprostone or the Foley balloon method. In the former case, if the labor has not started after dinoprostone removal, oxytocin infusion started. In Foley group, the BS was re-evaluated after Foley removal, and IOL continued with the use of dinoprostone (if BS<6) or oxytocin (if BS>6). Here, too, if no labor occurred after dinoprostone removal, Oxytocin was administered. Delivery mode, fetal and maternal complications were recorded. The time to delivery was tracked.Results: A total of 261 women were enrolled in the study. The CS rate was similar between groups (37.56% vs. 35.93%; P=0.81).

The laparoscopic approach, when feasible, is considered the most suitable and safe technique for intervention. Typically, uterine muscular wall defects are sutured with absorbable filaments. However, performing intra-corporeal knots during laparoscopic procedures demands significant surgical abilities and experience. While laparoscopic myomectomies are often recommended, they pose a high risk of hemorrhage. Barbed sutures may address the challenges of laparoscopic knotting due to their inherent barbs, leading to filament cohesion with tissues. This characteristic could potentially reduce the total operative time and blood loss during surgery. In consideration of the latest literature meta-analysis on the topic, published in 2018 and cited in the present work, six papers were included in this review, excluding case reports, reviews and articles without a control group. The objective of this narrative review is to explore the literature and establish the safety profile of barbed suture compared to conventional laparoscopic sutures. Additionally, given the potential for postoperative adhesion formation with the use of barbed sutures, the review also emphasizes reproductive outcomes. Consistent with previous literature, patients undergoing barbed suture laparoscopic myomectomy experienced significantly lower suturing time and blood loss. Regarding obstetric outcomes, all studies analyzing this aspect concluded that barbed sutures in myomectomy are as safe as, and represent an easier alternative to, conventional sutures. Importantly, these findings did not adversely affect pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":18572,"journal":{"name":"Minerva obstetrics and gynecology","volume":" ","pages":"128-136"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142291195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients who underwent benign hysterectomy for non-prolapse indications between 2012-2016 were identified using ICD-9 and 10 codes. Patients were stratified into rural or urban non-teaching groups; urban teaching hospitals were the referent group. The primary outcome was the rate of patient safety indicator (PSI) events. PSI events were identified using ICD-9 and 10 codes. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance and uni- and multivariate Poisson regressions.Results: 154,810 patients met all inclusion criteria. The cumulative rate of PSI events was 11.9% at rural hospitals, 13.9% at urban non-teaching hospitals and 16.9% at urban teaching hospitals, P<0.001. The most common PSI events were postoperative metabolic derangement, hemorrhage, and accidental puncture.
