Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyA randomized trial comparing conventional and robotically assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy.
The purpose of this study was to compare operative time and intra- and postoperative complications between total laparoscopic hysterectomy and robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy. ⋯ Although laparoscopic and robotic-assisted hysterectomies are safe approaches to hysterectomy, robotic-assisted hysterectomy requires a significantly longer operative time.

We sought to determine the perinatal risks associated with growth discordance in appropriately grown twin gestations. ⋯ In appropriately grown twins, growth discordance is a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes in monochorionic, but not dichorionic, twins. Discordant monochorionic twins may benefit from increased antenatal surveillance.
