BACKGROUND: Persistent pelvic pain (PPP) is a complex and often debilitating condition. While widely accepted to be multifactorial in nature, the precise aetiology of PPP remains elusive. In many cases, women who undergo laparoscopy for PPP will have no visible pathology identified (a 'negative' laparoscopy). Currently, there are no consensus guidelines which outline the recommended management following a negative laparoscopy, and the woman's experiences and outcomes are not widely known...

REVIEW
Amy Field, Genia Rozen, Joscelyn Gan, Alex Polyakov
BACKGROUND: The increasing utilisation of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) has prompted significant interest in determining the optimal endometrial environment to increase pregnancy rates and minimise the obstetric complications associated with various embryo transfer strategies. AIMS: To determine which cycle is associated with increased obstetric complications: fresh embryo transfer (FreshET), natural thaw (NatThawET) or artificial thaw (ArtThawET). Outcomes of interest included: hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), gestational diabetes (GD), pre-term birth (PTB), post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) and large for gestational age (LGA)...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Catherine Crouch, Sean Seeho, Jonathan Morris
Monitoring the fetal heartbeat underpins assessment of fetal wellbeing in labour. Although commonly employed in clinical practice, shortcomings remain. A recent review of clinical practice guidelines highlights the variation in definitions of the fetal heart rate that will lead to differences in interpretation. Will intrapartum care be improved by greater consensus around clinical practice guidelines through rationalisation or refinement of guidelines, or will the future see this technique replaced by more accurate forms of fetal monitoring?...

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy during benign gynaecologic surgery is advocated as a risk-reducing strategy due to the inverse association of epithelial ovarian cancers observed in epidemiological studies in a low-risk setting. Currently, no formal guidance exists for permanent surgical contraception at time of caesarean section in Australia. AIMS: Our aim was to survey Fellows of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) regarding bilateral salpingectomy compared to other procedures offered for permanent contraception at the time of caesarean section...

BACKGROUND: Although many pregnant women accept referrals to stop-smoking support, the uptake of appointments often remains low. AIM: The aim was to review the success of interventions to increase the uptake of external stop-smoking appointments following health professional referrals in pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus and CINAHL were searched in February 2023 for studies with interventions to increase the uptake rates of external stop-smoking appointments among pregnant women who smoke...

REVIEW
Lilian Jones, Rona Carroll, George Parker, Denise Steers, Judy Ormandy, Sara Filoche
Internationally, undergraduate medical education is not currently enabling early career doctors to meet the needs of trans and gender diverse (TGD) people as healthcare consumers. This review outlines inclusion of TGD education in undergraduate medical education more broadly to contextualise curriculum development needs in obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Limited, and lack of integrated content, teaching capability and current absence of TGD health knowledge as graduate outcomes, compounded by pedagogy (biomedical/binary framing) and more appropriate learning resources are indicators for curricula, and workforce, development...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Sara Xiao-Li Lai, Amanda Cohn
BACKGROUND: Australia has demonstrated high efficacy and safety of medical termination of pregnancy (MToP) using a mifepristone-buccal misoprostol regime. The provision of medical termination services in primary care has the potential to alleviate access barriers, particularly in rural and regional populations. Large-scale data are needed to support the expansion of this model. AIM: The aim was to determine the efficacy and safety of nurse-led MToP within a regional general practice clinic...

BACKGROUND: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual/aromantic (LGBTQA+) people, assigned female at birth (AFAB), experience disproportionately poorer gynaecological healthcare outcomes compared to their cisgender, heterosexual peers. The barriers to gynaecological care remain poorly understood. In a step toward bridging this gap, the current study explored the lived gynaecological healthcare experiences of Australian LGBTQA+ AFAB people and the barriers they experience in accessing care...

BACKGROUND: It is widely accepted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) and vaginal hysterectomy are less invasive procedures compared to total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH). However, rates of TAH remain unreasonably high. AIM: To pilot-test a model of training for practising obstetricians and gynaecologists (O&Gs) in TLH. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Training of participating O&Gs was conducted across four hospitals in Queensland, Australia, while other O&Gs were observed as contemporary controls...

Data from 98 women recruited in the Metformin in Gestational Diabetes trial and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry studies of their children at nine years were analysed to investigate associations between maternal measures during pregnancy and their children's size and adiposity. Mothers of boys (n = 56) and girls (n = 42) had been randomised to metformin or insulin treatment at 30.1 ± 2.8 and 29.3 ± 4.1 weeks gestation, respectively. In boys, fat-free mass indexed to height squared was associated with maternal weight, body mass index, maternal glycaemia and metformin treatment...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Catriona Melville, Philip Goldstone, Nisreen Moosa
BACKGROUND: Follow-up after early medical abortion (EMA) in Australia often entails tracking serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels or performing ultrasonography in-clinic. In other countries, methods of follow-up such as using a low-sensitivity urine pregnancy test (LSUPT), telephone evaluation and a questionnaire have been demonstrated to be safe and acceptable. AIMS: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of telephone follow-up after EMA using an LSUPT and questionnaire...

BACKGROUND: Current international guidelines recommend 28 days of enoxaparin as venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after surgery for gynaecologic cancer. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been investigated as an alternative to enoxaparin for post-operative VTE prophylaxis. High-quality evidence to demonstrate safety and efficacy is lacking. AIMS: We aim to investigate the current practice regarding VTE prophylaxis among gynaecological oncologists in Australia and New Zealand following laparotomy for gynaecological malignancy, in particular the use of DOACs for VTE prophylaxis...
