  More info

  Morcellation has received increased media and professional attention, but it remains unclear how much the average patient knows about this topic. We sought to evaluate patients' knowledge of morcellation, assess their perceptions of the risks and benefits, and determine how these perceptions affect their decision regarding the route of surgery.

  STUDY OBJECTIVE: Because it is associated with fewer complications and more rapid recovery, the vaginal approach is preferred for benign hysterectomy. Patient characteristics that traditionally favor a vaginal approach include adequate vaginal access, small uterine size, and low suspicion for extrauterine disease. However, the low proportion of hysterectomies performed vaginally in the United States suggests that these data are not routinely applied in clinical practice. We sought to analyze the association of parity, prior pelvic surgery, and uterine weight with the use of the vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic, and abdominal approaches to hysterectomy.

Practice patterns and postoperative complications before and after US Food and Drug Administration safety communication on power morcellation. American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 214(1), 98.e1-98.e13.
  More info

  In April 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published its first safety communication discouraging "the use of laparoscopic power morcellation during hysterectomy or myomectomy for the treatment of women with uterine fibroids." Due to the concern of worsening outcomes for patients with occult uterine malignancy, specifically uterine leiomyosarcoma, the FDA recommended a significant change to existing surgical planning, patient consent, and surgical technique in the United States.

  More info

  The incidence of perinatal transmission of neonatal herpes infection has recently been reported at 1 in 3200 births. The main objective of this study was to determine a population-based incidence of neonatal herpes simplex virus infection.
