Preeclampsia (PE) is a multiorgan disorder that complicates around 2-8% of pregnancies and is a major cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. PE is a clinical syndrome characterized by hypertension secondary to systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and syncytiotrophoblast stress leading to hypertension and multiorgan dysfunction. The uterine arteries are the main blood vessels that supply blood to the uterus. They give off branches and plays an important role in maintaining blood supply during pregnancy...

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disease that has no known precise cause. Integrative biology approach based on multi-omics has been applied to identify upstream pathways and better understand the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. At DNA level, genomics and epigenomics studies have revealed numerous genetic variants associated with preeclampsia, including those involved in regulating blood pressure and immune response. Transcriptomics analyses have revealed altered expression of genes in preeclampsia, particularly those related to inflammation and angiogenesis...

Deep infiltrative endometriosis is a condition affecting up to 15 % of women of childbearing age, defined by extra uterine location of endometrial like tissues. The symptoms of endometriosis range from severe dysmenorrhea to infertility, chronic pelvic pain, bowel dysfunction and urinary tract involvement to name the most common. Endometriosis has an impact on the quality of life of patients, with personal and social consequences. Although medical treatment is indicated in the first instance, surgery may be necessary...

REVIEW
Anna Collins, Annie Jacob, Esther Moss
Many patients diagnosed with an endometrial cancer are at high-risk for surgery due to factors such as advanced age, raised body mass index or frailty. Minimally-invasive surgery, in particular robotic-assisted, is increasingly used in the surgical management of endometrial cancer however, there are a lack of clinical trials investigating outcomes in high-risk patient populations. This article will review the current evidence and identify areas of uncertainty where future research is needed.

REVIEW
Yair Daykan, Reut Rotem, Barry A O'Reilly
Minimally invasive surgical techniques have become more common in pelvic floor reconstructive urogynaecological surgery, specifically, robotic-assisted pelvic floor surgery. Female pelvic floor anatomy is complex, and some repairs require highly experienced surgical skills that can be gained more easily using robotic-assisted surgery. A common application of the robotic platform in urogynaecological surgeries includes sacrocolpopexy, which has become the gold standard approach in the last decade for the correction of apical prolapse...

Pregnant women with obesity are at considerable risk during their labor and delivery. The aim of obstetric care is the safe delivery of the baby and the maintenance of good health of the mother while providing an ongoing support for the family unit. The awareness and mitigation of risks associated with caring for women who are obese is vital in ensuring continued good outcomes. Transfer of women for labor care, presence of senior staff, bariatric resources, understanding of the progress of labor with an increase in body mass index, and preparation for complications are covered in this chapter...

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is among the most severe complications of cesarean delivery. CSP refers to the abnormal implantation of the gestational sac in the area of the prior cesarean delivery (CD), potentially leading to severe hemorrhage, uterine rupture, or development of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS). The management of women with CSP has not been standardized yet. In women who opted for termination, discussion about the treatments should consider maternal symptoms, gestational age at intervention, and the future reproductive risk...

Obesity is a significant health concern worldwide and is associated with numerous health complications, including placental dysfunction during pregnancy. Placental dysfunction can lead to adverse outcomes for both the mother and the foetus, such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and foetal growth restriction. Studies have shown that maternal obesity can lead to placental dysfunction through various mechanisms, including chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and dysregulation of metabolic pathways...

REVIEW
Aoife M McTiernan, Chetan K Ruprai, Stephen W Lindow
Appropriate use of ventouse or obstetric forceps as options in the management of the second-stage of labor is good medical practice. The instruments are not inherently dangerous, however, the manner in which they are used may be. In addition to a working knowledge of the instruments, the operator must have the willingness to abandon an unsuccessful procedure. Awareness that failure of assisted vaginal delivery is more likely in women with BMI >30, hence, gives pause to consider trial in theatre with early recourse to cesarean delivery if unsuccessful Awareness that obesity is associated with increased risk of intrapartum complications, such as the need for second-stage assistance to achieve delivery, shoulder dystocia and postnatal complications, such as obstetric anal sphincter injury and febrile morbidity...

The benefits of minimally-invasive surgeries have been documented, and they have been established as the preferred approach for gynecological surgeries. With the development of robotic surgery, many highly complex surgeries can benefit from these advantages. Due to the complexity of aortocaval lymphadenectomy, surgical technique protocols have been described to reduce risks by maximizing benefits. We describe the technique using five ports (4 robotic arms and an assistant) to work the upper abdominal field, and different instruments recommended in each of their positions to reduce errors and optimize surgical time...

The use of safe and effective contraception is essential for preventing unplanned pregnancy in women of all body sizes. When counseling women with obesity about contraception, it is important to consider the pharmacokinetic alterations of obesity on various modern contraceptive methods. However, evidence is reassuring that most contraceptive methods are safe and effective in women with obesity. Individual countries and the World Health Organization have published Medical Eligibility Criteria to guide contraceptive selection in women with medical issues including obesity...

Obesity is a major determinant of health outcomes and is on the increase in women worldwide. It predisposes to surgical site infection (SSI). Risk factors for the SSI include extremes of age, smoking, comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes, inappropriate vertical abdominal and or uterine wall incisions, increased operating time, subcutaneous layer of 3 cm or more, and unnecessary use of subcutaneous drain. Most bacteria that cause SSIs are human commensals. Common organisms responsible for SSI include Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms such as Proteus mirabilis, and Escherichia coli...

REVIEW
Georgia Knight, Mary Mushambi
Obesity causes significant morbidity and increases the mortality risk for both mother and fetus. With an increasing projected prevalence, it is vital that the obstetric anesthetist is equipped with the knowledge and tools to manage these women. A multi-disciplinary team approach and early planning is required. Neuraxial analgesia for labor helps to negate the need for general anesthesia, which is associated with increased risk in this subset of women. Catheter techniques for neuraxial anesthesia allow for titration, manipulation, and prolongation of the anesthetic block to reduce the risk of conversion to general anesthesia...

The worldwide epidemic of obesity appears to be one of the crucial health problems. One-third of children and adolescents in the United States are classified as either overweight or obese and 6% of adolescents are severely obese. With the development of high technology, children, and adolescents, spend more time in sedentary life. Together with the availability of consuming fast caloric food, it is almost unavoidable to get an imbalance between caloric intake and caloric expenditure of energy, resulting in the accumulation of fat-energy stores...

REVIEW
Thomas Ind
Standardisation of an educational programme in robotic gynaecological surgery requires careful reflection to ensure that the correct surgeons are selected, that they are trained to the best of their ability, and that they have continued education into their careers. The generally agreed pathways included a proficiency-based progression model for procedures with validated assessment tools used for both formative and summative assessment. For new surgeons, a basic and advanced curriculum is required, involving tools on how to use the instruments as well as educational lectures and simulation...
