Laparoscopic cervico-isthmic cerclage: surgical technique and obstetric outcomes.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to review the surgical technique, complication rate and obstetric outcome associated with the laparoscopic approach to the placement of the cervico-isthmic cerclage. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective cohort study was ... Read more...

The association between stillbirth in the first pregnancy and subsequent adverse perinatal outcomes.

16 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine the association between first-pregnancy stillbirth and subsequent adverse perinatal outcomes. STUDY DESIGN: This cohort study examined the first 2 singleton deliveries at 20-44 weeks' gestation from 1991-2008 (n = ... Read more...

Postoperative infectious morbidities of cesarean delivery in human immunodeficiency virus-infected women.

23 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare the infectious complication rates from cesarean delivery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women and HIV-negative women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on data derived from ... Read more...
