Background: Fallopian tube prolapse is an infrequent complication of hysterectomy. Surgical management has been described by vaginal, abdominal, and combined approaches. More recently, laparoscopic management has been advocated generally in combination with vaginal surgery or in cases in which an initial vaginal operation was unsuccessful. Case: We report our totally laparoscopic technique for ...

Introduction / objectives Ultrasound gel is a potential source of infection. Nonsterile ultra-sound gels can be contaminated due to manufacturing procedures and also during usage of opened bottles. We report a cluster of eight clinical cases of vaginal colonization (one clinically proven colpitis) with Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) due to intrinsically contaminated ultrasound gel in obstetr...

After introduction of high-frequency vaginal transducer, transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound has established a field of sonoembryology and most of the major fetal abnormalities have been detectable in the first trimester. Three-dimensional ultrasound adds an objective and comprehensive information to two-dimensional sonographic findings.

The role of ultrasound imaging in urogynecology is not clearly defined. Despite significant developments in visualization techniques and interpretation of images, pelvic ultrasound is still more a tool for research than for clinical practice. Structures of the lower genitourinary tract and pelvic floor can be visualized from different approaches: transperineal, introital, transvaginal, abdomina...

PURPOSE To evaluate changes to the pelvic floor of primiparous women with different delivery modes, using three-dimensional ultrasound. METHODS A prospective cross-sectional study on 35 primiparae divided into groups according to the delivery mode: elective cesarean delivery (n=10), vaginal delivery (n=16), and forceps delivery (n=9). Three-dimensional ultrasound on the pelvic floor was perfo...

intrauterine device (iud), a conventional method of contraception is rarely associated with uterine perforation and extra uterine dislocation. a 29 years old woman complaining of vaginal bleeding was referred for pelvic mass identified in ultrasound. the mass was confirmed with ct scan. in laparatomy we found an iud in cul-de-sac and pelvic mass was apparently an organized hematoma. transmigrat...

A 59-year-old patient complaining of vaginal bleeding and puruloid discharge was admitted to our gynecology department. Speculum examination showed a vaginal fungating necrotic ulcerated mass. There was no palpable lymphadenopathy or hepato-splenomegaly on physical examination. Transvaginal ultrasound and abdominopelvic computed tomography demonstrated a bulky vaginal mass approximately 5x4x3 c...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed gynecologic operations, and numerous authors have demonstrated its safety and feasibility. CASE PRESENTATION We practiced in some selected cases simultaneous laparoscopically assisted vaginal total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy and laparoscopic cholecystectomy using 5 trocars without ut...

Ultrasound imaging plays a major role in evaluation of pregnancies especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. The aim of this study is to correlate the clinical and ultrasonographic diagnosis of vaginal bleeding in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and to find out its incidence and to study other associated conditions of vaginal bleeding during pregnancy.100 patients with vaginal bleeding up...

An amniocele is a herniation of the amniotic sac through a uterine defect. Uterine rupture during pregnancy may develop as a result of a pre-existing injury, uterine anomaly, or unscarred uterus. A 30-year-old patient, with a history of 2 vaginal deliveries, presented an amniocele complicated by left fundal perforation and was evaluated with 3-dimensional ultrasound at 23 weeks. Because of wors...
