BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine whether cases of placenta previa and low-lying placenta previa in patients with retroverted uterus are significantly associated with endometriosis. METHODS: Participants were patients …

BackgroundGranulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration increased ovarian preantral follicles and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in animal models with diminished ovarian reserve. We investigated whether G-CSF priming before tre…

We present a case of vaginal wall perforation during cesarean section. The cause of the perforation remained unclear. Although such conditions are rare, it is necessary to carefully check the condition of the vagina after performing cesarea…
