Relationship between uterine volume and discontinuation of treatment with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices in patients with adenomyosis.
This study is to evaluate the relationship between the uterine volume and the failure of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) in patients with adenomyosis. ⋯ The rate of treatment failure after LNG-IUD insertion for the patients with adenomyosis was related to the uterine volume. Specifically, the treatment failure rate of large volume uterus (>150 mL) with LNG-IUD was significantly higher than that of small volume uterus.

Surgical outcome and complications of total laparoscopic hysterectomy for very large myomatous uteri in relation to uterine weight: a prospective study in a continuous series of 461 procedures.
To analyze whether a large uterine size was associated with increased rate of intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications in patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for myomatous uteri. ⋯ Our results showed that in experienced hands, TLH is feasible and safe also in presence of very large uteri. TLH results in a few complications and short hospital stay regardless of uterine weight.

Preoperative HBA1c and risk of postoperative complications in patients with gynaecological cancer.
HBA1c is used as an indicator for the long-term control of the glycaemic state and outcome predictors in diabetic patients. Diabetic patients have an increased risk of post-operative complications especially those related to infection. The aim of our study is to ascertain the relationship between HBA1c levels and post-operative recovery within the subspecialty of gynaecological oncology. ⋯ Preoperative measurement of HBA1c may identify patients (both diabetic and non-diabetic women) at higher risk of postoperative complications and could be used as a trigger for modification of the perioperative management of such patients.
