    Can follicular Emmprin and BMP 4 levels predict ICSI outcome?
    (SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2019-01-01) Takmaz, Ozguc; Yozgatli, Dilara; Ozaltin, Selin; Ozbasli, Esra; Kocyigit, Yucel; Kuran, Sibel Bulgurcuoglu; Bulut, Huri; Gungor, Mete; Buyru, Faruk; Bastu, Ercan
    PurposeTo evaluate the relationship of clinical pregnancy rates with bone morphogenetic proteins 2-4-7 (BMP 2, 4, 7), growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF 9), and Emmprin levels in follicular fluid of intracytoplasmic sperm injection patients.MethodsFollicular fluid of 77 patients who underwent ICSI procedure was collected during the oocyte retrieval procedure. And follicular fluid levels of BMP 2, BMP 4, BMP 7, GDF 9, and Emmprin (Basigin) were measured and compared for clinical pregnancy rates.ResultsFollicular levels of BMP 4 was significantly higher whereas Emmprin levels were lower in patients who had achieved clinically diagnosed pregnancy compared with those who did not achieve clinical pregnancy after ICSI procedure (P=0.007 and P=0.035, respectively). BMP 2, BMP 7, and GDF 9 levels were comparable for both groups.ConclusionClinical pregnancy rates after ICSI may be associated with follicular fluid levels of Emmprin and BMP 4. Follicular levels of Emmprin and BMP 4 can be used as a marker (as markers for predicting ICSI outcomes) for a better ICSI outcome.

    Symptoms and Health Quality After Laparoscopic and Robotic Myomectomy
    (SOC LAPAROENDOSCOPIC SURGEONS, 2018-01-01) Takmaz, Ozguc; Ozbasli, Esra; Gundogan, Savas; Bastu, Ercan; Batukan, Cem; Dede, Suat; Gungor, Mete
    Background and Objectives: To compare the symptom severity and health quality outcomes of women who underwent laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy. Methods: This was a prospective nonrandomized cohort study. The Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Health Related Quality of Life Questionnaire was administered to 33 laparoscopic myomectomy and 31 robotic myomectomy patients before and year after surgery. Symptom severity and health quality scores were compared between the preoperative and postoperative periods for laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy procedures. Results: The mean age, operation time, estimated blood loss, body mass index, largest fibroid diameter, length of hospital stay, and number of fibroids removed were comparable for both groups (P > .05). Symptom severity scores decreased significantly for both laparoscopic and robotic myomectomy patients at year after surgery (P < .05), and health-related quality of life scores increased significantly in both groups at 1 year after surgery (P < .05). Improvement in symptom severity and health quality was higher in the laparoscopy group

    Comparison of early and on-demand maternal feeding after Caesarean delivery: a prospective randomised trial
    (SINGAPORE MEDICAL ASSOC, 2021-01-01) Ozbasli, Esra; Takmaz, Ozguc; Dede, Faruk Suat; Gungor, Mete
    INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare early and on-demand maternal feeding after Caesarean delivery in terms of gastrointestinal complaints and patient satisfaction. METHODS A total of 262 women with uncomplicated singleton term pregnancies who underwent a Caesarean section under regional anaesthesia were randomised to a soft food diet served at Postoperative Hour 2 (early feeding group) or eating whenever they wanted to upon return to the ward (on-demand group). Patient satisfaction scores at the time of discharge and gastrointestinal complaints were compared. RESULTS The fed-early group comprised 133 (50.8\%) women and the on-demand group comprised 129 (49.2\%) women. Major characteristics and surgical procedures were comparable between the two groups. No significant between-group differences in demographic criteria or surgical procedures were evident (p > 0.05). The mean time to the first feeding was 120.00 +/- 00.00 minutes for the early feeding group as compared to 236.59 +/- 107.74 minutes for the on-demand feeding group (p = 0.001). Satisfaction levels did not differ significantly between the two groups (p = 0.366). Duration to first breastfeeding, analgesia on the ward, passage of flatus, defecation, mobilisation and urination after catheter removal did not differ significantly between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Early initiation of solid food in low-risk women after Caesarean delivery under regional anaesthesia was associated with high satisfaction and did not increase gastrointestinal complaints. We suggest having

    Cosmetic Outcome of Robotic Surgery Compared to Laparoscopic Surgery for Benign Gynecologic Disease
    (SOC LAPAROENDOSCOPIC SURGEONS, 2022-01-01) Ozbasli, Esra; Takmaz, Ozguc; Albayrak, Nazli; Gungor, Mete
    Background and Objectives: This study was designed to compare patients who have undergone conventional laparoscopic surgery with those who undergone multiport robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecological diseases regarding cosmetic results, patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Methods: Sixty-four patients who underwent either robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecological diseases from July 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 at Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydinlar University Hospital were enrolled. Patients were evaluated using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale, visual analog scale for cosmetic satisfaction, body image questionnaire, and 12-item Short Form Survey six months postoperatively. Results: The median patient assessment scale and observer assessment scale (general) values were significantly higher in the robotic group than in the laparoscopic group. The mean body image questionnaire (cosmetic section) and visual analog scale values were significantly higher in the laparoscopic group than in the robotic group. No significant differences in body image scale, body image questionnaire 9-10, and 12-item Short Form Survey values were observed between the groups. The number of patients with previous surgical history was significantly higher in the laparoscopic group than in the robotic group. Conclusion: Although esthetic concerns are not a priority consideration when deciding an appropriate surgical method, the higher cosmetic satisfaction rate in the laparoscopic group than in the robotic group suggests that cosmetic results should be discussed with patients after evaluating other factors.
