Comparative Study
Maternal and fetal outcomes after laparoscopic vs. Open appendectomy in pregnant women: data from two tertiary referral centers.
Appendectomy is the most common cause of non-obstetric surgery in pregnant women. Our aim was to compare the clinical characteristics, peri-and post-operative data of pregnant women undergoing either laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) or open appendectomy (OA). ⋯ LA is related to shorter hospital stay, faster return to daily activities, and shorter time to first flatus. LA appears to be as safe and effective as OA in pregnant patients without increasing adverse perinatal outcomes.

The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of ultrasound parameters in the second stage of labor in prediction of the method of delivery and to evaluate the benefits to be derived from this study. ⋯ Intrapartum sonography is a useful and objective tool to assess the progress of labor. Transperineal ultra-sound scans performed in the second stage of labor may play a role in making the decision about the mode of delivery.

The aim of our study is to determine whether first-trimester neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and plate-let-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) would be useful as new predictors of subsequent preeclampsia. ⋯ High NLR and PLR during the first trimester are independent predictors of subsequent preeclampsia.
