Do gender and racial differences exist in letters of recommendation for obstetrics and gynecology residency applicants?
Studies in several fields demonstrate gender and racial differences in descriptions of applicants in letters of recommendation. However, gender and racial biases in obstetrics and gynecology residency letters of recommendation are understudied.The impact of preoperative pelvic pain on outcomes after vaginal reconstructive surgery
Pelvic pain is a debilitating condition that is common among women with pelvic floor disorders. Limited information is known about the impact of preoperative pelvic pain on outcomes after vaginal reconstructive surgery.Disparity in Medicare payments by gender and training track in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery
Gender disparities in medicine have been demonstrated in the past, including differences in the attainment of roles in administration and in physician income.Preoperative pudendal block with liposomal and plain bupivacaine reduces pain associated with posterior colporrhaphy: a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial
Pelvic reconstructive surgery may cause significant postoperative pain, especially with posterior colporrhaphy, contributing to a longer hospital stay and increased pain medication utilization. Regional blocks are being increasingly utilized in gynecologic surgery to improve postoperative pain and decrease opioid usage, yet preoperative pudendal blocks have not been used routinely during posterior colporrhaphy.Vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine before hysterectomy: a propensity score matched analysis
Antiseptic vaginal preparation is recommended before gynecologic surgery; however, there is a lack of data regarding the effectiveness of different agents.The Fundamentals of Vaginal Surgery pilot study: developing, validating, and setting proficiency scores for a vaginal surgical skills simulation system
Surgical training in the simulation lab can develop basic skills that translate to the operating room. Standardized, basic skills programs that are supported by validated assessment measures exist for open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic surgery; however, there is yet to be a nationally recognized and widely implemented basic skills program specifically for vaginal surgery.Inadequacy and underreporting of study subjects’ race and ethnicity in federally funded pelvic floor research
The inclusion of participants who are Black, Indigenous people of color, and participants of various ethnicities is a priority of federally sponsored research.Incidence and predictors of persistent pelvic pain following hysterectomy in women with chronic pelvic pain
Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating problem that afflicts 15% to 20% of women in the United States. Although more than 200,000 hysterectomies are performed annually for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, previous studies indicate that 1 in 4 women undergo the discomfort and morbidity of hysterectomy without the relief of pain. The factors that predict treatment failure remain poorly characterized.Readmission and emergency department visits after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and vaginal apical pelvic organ prolapse surgery
Minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgery is becoming increasingly common; however, data on readmission and emergency department visits within 30 days of surgery are limited.Role of antibiotic resistance in urinary tract infection management: a cost-effectiveness analysis
Urinary tract infections and recurrent urinary tract infections pose substantial burdens on patients and healthcare systems. Testing and treatment strategies are increasingly important in the age of antibiotic resistance and stewardship.
