Genitopelvic pain: retrospective evaluation of a multimodal treatment efficacy.
CONCLUSIONS: The lack of association between the investigated characteristics and treatment outcome is disappointing; on the other hand, the statistically significant impact of couple harmony (evaluated as partner presence and participation) on the treatment results may be the answer to our search for factors predicting outcome.

Qualitative assessment of patient-provider communication and provider reporting on misclassification of stillbirths and early neonatal deaths in Ethiopia.
CONCLUSIONS: Maternity care providers' reporting practices and the quality of their communication with patients contribute to the SB-END misclassification in Ethiopia. There is need to increase providers' awareness of the importance of capturing and reporting reliable and valid information on pregnancy outcomes.

Endometrioma and reproductive issues: a well-informed patient may be the driver for change.
Authors: Cecchino GN, Cozzolino M, Roque M, García-Velasco JA
Abstract
Endometriosis affects a great proportion of women during their reproductive years and may impair female fertility in several ways. Ovarian endometrioma (OE) is the most frequent phenotype and growing evidence suggest an endometrioma-mediated damage to the ovary, ovarian reserve and oocyte quality. Traditionally, surgery has been the first-line treatment in cases of OE. Great advances in assisted reproduction and fertility preservation techniques opened new possibilities towards a more conservative approach. Herein we discuss multiple m...

An innovative device in the management of female urodynamic stress incontinence: a perception survey.
Authors: Soligo M, Torella M, Balzarro M, Matarazzo MG, Braga A, Serati M, Italian Urodynamic Society (SIUD)
Abstract
Urinary Incontinence significantly affects daily life of suffering women. Minimally invasive solutions to cope with urine leakage would be of great interest. A Survey to investigate efficacy and compliance of an innovative intravaginal device (Diveen®) to reduce the risk of urine leakage was performed in 5 Urogynecological Centers across Italy. Women with Urodynamic diagnosis of Stress Incontinence, included Mixed conditions, underwent the survey. The device was effective (60%) independent...

The role of sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial carcinoma.
Authors: Soderini A, De Pietri V, Crespe M, Rodriguez Y, Aragona A
Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed gynecological malignancy in developing countries, and the second malignancy after cervical cancer in developing countries. The primary treatment is based on surgical and pathologic staging including extrafascial type A radical hysterectomy bilateral salpingo oophorectomy and pelvic and latero-aortic lymphadenectomy. Minimally invasive surgery is the most widely used technique. Sentinel node biopsy is part of this concept and has reached the management of endometrial cancer. The aim ...

Sentinel lymph node in cervical cancer: a literature review.
CONCLUSIONS: Indocyanine green is the most reliable and performing tracer for the search of the sentinel lymph node; that the false intraoperative negative rate is too high to be sure not to subject the patient to an incorrect therapeutic procedure; data concerning the safety and survival of conservative lymphadenectomy (SLND) compared to systematic lymphadenectomy are still lacking in the literature and therefore we are awaiting the results of the two ongoing randomized clinical trials that will allow us to have more significant scientific data.

Defining arrest in the 1st and 2nd stages of labor.
The objective of this review is to delineate both normal labor progress and also discuss the current evidence-based diagnosis and treatment of protraction and arrest disorders. Many subtleties go into defining the boundaries of the first and second stages of labor. Historically, the Friedman curve established normal limits, but currently, Zhang has advanced these definitions by accounting for current demographical characteristics and practice environments. The most significant variables for defining normal progress of labor are parity and regional anesthesia status. The most common causes of labor abnormalities are uterine...
