New Year, New Rules
Charles Darwin famously wrote: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (JMIG) too, is changing, with updated instructions for our authors coming into effect on January 1, 2024. These guidelines are to ensure that the Journal stays current and to streamline manuscript preparation and submission. While the key drivers of manuscript submission to JMIG remain quality of research, progression of our field, and academic integrity, there are some notable changes to the structure.

Early quality of life assessment after segmental colorectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis
In this study, we have assessed patient-reported outcomes amongst women having undergone segmental colorectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Any correlation between preoperative nutritional status and overall postoperative complications has also been analyzed. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Revisiting the vaginal cuff check- Is it necessary?
Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) is a rare but potentially catastrophic postoperative complication following total hysterectomy. As part of routine peri-operative care, it is a common practice to see patients at the 6-8 week post-operative mark for an in-person vaginal exam to evaluate the integrity of the vaginal cuff and look for any evidence of VCD before clearing patients from pelvic rest. However, does an exam in asymptomatic patients help us identify, better yet predict VCD, especially in light of the fact that there is a paucity of evidence demonstrating better outcomes?

Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy, a concealed and threatened ectopic pregnancy
A 26 year old G3P2 presented complaining of back pain for 10 days and amenorrhea for 64 days. Her blood Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) level was 35759U/L. Transvaginal ultrasound showed neither intrauterine gestational sac nor adnexal mass. An abdominal CT scan revealed a gestational sac located between the two great vessels and immediately adjacent to the vena cave [Fig A]. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Identifying gaps in pelvic pain education: a scoping review and structured analysis of obstetrics and gynecology training milestones.
Several clinical practice guidelines on the evaluation and management (EM) of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) are published; however, it is not known whether obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) educational milestones are aligned with current practice recommendations. Therefore, this scoping review and structured analysis aims to identify gaps between clinical guidelines for the EM of CPP, and OBGYN training milestones published by educational authorities like the ACGME and the AAGL.
