Mullerian agenesis is a rare malformation and there are several non surgical and surgical techniques to treat. We aimed to present 3 different neovagina creation techniques that we applied to women with Mullerian agenesis who applied to our clinic and to review the literature. Twelve patients diagnosed with Mullerian agenesis and underwent neovagina creation procedure between 2016 and 2021 were included in the study. One of the neovagina techniques, the McIndoe procedure was applied to 2 patients, the Frank method to 4 patients, and the Laparoscopic Davydov vaginoplasty to 6 patients. Pre- and postoperative vaginal lengths, time of sexual intercourse, pain during intercourse, and operation complications were recorded. The 12 patients who underwent neovagina reconstruction were aged 18--31 years (mean 24.4 years). Physiologic vaginal length was achieved in all patients (mean length 7.9 cm). Vaginal hair growth was observed in both patients who underwent McIndoe. In a patient who underwent Davydov, 1 unit of erythrocyte suspension was administered owing to intraoperative bleeding during vesicorectal dissection. Neovagina techniques applied to optimize sexual life in women with Mullerian agenesis should be individualized according to the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) can be used to obtain quantitative information about tissue stiffness. This study compared SWE measurements of patients with adenomyosis, leiomyoma, and normal myometrium. Materials and Methods: This study included 56 women who were scheduled to undergo hysterectomy. Measurements of the uterine myometrium and leiomyomas, if any, of the patients were preoperatively collected through SWE. A total of 69 SWE measurements were included. Postoperatively, the patients were categorized according to the results of histopathologic examinations: group 1 included patients with normal myometrium; group 2 included those with adenomyosis; and group 3 included those with leiomyomas. The Emean values of the kPa obtained from the SWE measurements were compared with the histopathologic results. Results: The SWE measurements of groups 2 and 3 were significantly higher than those of group 1. There were no significant differences between groups 2 and 3 in mean SWE measurements. The success rate of SWE in differentiating normal myometrium and adenomyosis was 92%, with a sensitivity of 93.1% and a specificity of 82.1%. Conclusion: This study revealed that using ultrasound elastography to diagnose adenomyosis is successful in distinguishing that condition from normal myometrium, but SWE is not useful for distinguishing adenomyosis leiomyoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the platelet parameters in pre-eclamptic and normal pregnant women. Material and methods: Fifty pre-eclamptic women and 70 healthy pregnant women as the control group were enrolled to this study. The platelet count, and mean platelet volume (MPV) of the groups were compared. Results: The mean age of the pre-eclamptic group was 28.3 ± 4.6 year and the control group was 27±3.5 year. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the age and gestational weeks (p>0.05). The mean platelet count (x 10³/ μL) was 235.5±7.5 in the preeclamptic group and in the control group 233.6±38.8 and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). It was found that the MPV value of the pre-eclamptic group was higher than the control group (9.8±1.4 vs. 8.7±1.3, respectively) and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p=0.012). Coclusion: The mean value of MPV was higher in the pre-eclamptic group than the control group. However, the mean platelet count of the preeclamptic and normal pregnant women were similar.
