BACKGROUND Endometriosis nodes are observed in extra pelvic locations, particularly in gynaecological scars, with the abdominal wall being one of the most frequent locations. The main objective of the study is to review patient characteristics of cases of endometriosis nodes in gynaecological scars. METHODS A retrospective, observational and descriptive study with a cohort of patients from Ho...

A total of 374 patients were followed up for at least 10 years after tubal ligation, and 43% required further gynaecological treatment. Major gynaecological surgery was needed by 25%. There seems a good case for the selective use of hysterectomy as a method of sterilization.

Due to close anatomical proximity of female urinary and genital tract, the ureter, urinary bladder and urethra are vulnerable for injury during gynaecological surgery. In a comparative observational study we evaluated 89cases having benign and clinically high risk gynaecological conditions requiring surgery, for the incidence of urinary tract involvement and to determine whether pre-operative a...

Objective(s): To study the incidence of early re-laparotomy, its indications and mortality rates in a rural tertiary teaching institution. Method(s): A retrospective descriptive study of early relaparotomy after primary gynaecological and obstetrical surgery over a period of 12 months from 1 st August 2012 to 31 st July 2013 was done. Result(s): Total incidence of re –laparotomy was 0.169%. Mos...

There is evidence that adequate patient information given preoperatively regarding expected outcomes of surgery is important because well-informed patients are more satisfied with the...

In the China Medical College in Laioning Province in north-east China 760 kilometres from Peking, obstetric and gynaecological patients were treated using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Over many years of practice and experience, Chinese medical workers concluded that certain herbs have significant antibiotic properties whilst others cause contraction of the smooth m...
