Rudimentary horn pregnancy leading to a spontaneous uterine rupture at 21 weeks gestation: Case report

Introduction Congenital uterine anomalies arise from maldevelopment of the Müllerian ducts during intrauterine life [1]. They affect approximately 5.5% of the general population, with significantly higher prevalence among individuals with infertility and/or recurrent early pregnancy loss; in fact, up to 25% of patients with both conditions may be affected [1,2]. Some patients remain completely asymptomatic, […]

Short-term effects of non-ablative Erbium and Neodymium/Erbium laser combination treatment on genitourinary syndrome of menopause and the vaginal microbiome: a pilot study

Introduction In recent years, laser technology has emerged as a minimally invasive treatment option for pelvic floor dysfunctions, particularly for genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) [1–4]. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Erbium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) lasers deliver short pulses that raise vaginal mucosal temperatures to 60–70 °C, promoting vaginal remodeling, neocollagenesis, and neovascularization [5–7]. These processes help restore […]

The challenge of pelvic aggressive angiomyxoma: Case report and literature review

Introduction growth and a high tendency to recur after surgical resection [1]. Although it does not metastasize and its histology appears benign, the tumour commonly infiltrates soft tissues of the pelviperineal region, making surgical excision difficult. Incomplete resection, or resection without free margins, substantially increases the risk of recurrence, and infiltration of adjacent organs may […]
