Abstract:Increasing evidence suggests a relationship between in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Some studies have reported a lower rate of antenatal diagnosis of PAS after IVF-ET compared to PAS with spontaneous conception. This study aimed to review the diagnostic accuracy of PAS after IVF-ET and to explore the relationship between IVF-ET pregnancy and PAS. According to the PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive systematic review of the literature was conducted through Aug… Show more
“…Pregnant women with endometriosis are more likely to use ART to conceive than those without endometriosis; however, ART-conceived pregnancies are associated with an increased prevalence of PASD [ 15 ]. Furthermore, recent systematic reviews have reported that women with endometriosis are more likely to have placenta previa than those without endometriosis.…”
This study aimed to assess the relationship between placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PASD) and endometriosis. The relationships among pregnancy, assisted reproductive technology (ART), placenta previa, ART-conceived pregnancy and PASD were also determined. A systematic literature review was conducted using multiple computerized databases. Forty-eight studies (1990–2021) met the inclusion criteria. According to the adjusted pooled analysis (n = 3), endometriosis was associated with an increased prevalence of PASD (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.96–5.87). In the included studies, the ART rate ranged from 18.2% to 37.2% for women with endometriosis. According to the adjusted pooled analysis, women who used ART were more likely to have placenta previa (n = 13: adjusted OR 2.96, 95%CI, 2.43–3.60) and PASD (n = 4: adjusted OR 3.54, 95%CI 1.86–6.76) than those who did not use ART. According to the sensitivity analysis using an unadjusted analysis accounting for the type of ART, frozen embryo transfer (ET) was associated with an increased risk of PASD (n = 4: OR 2.79, 95%CI, 1.22−6.37) compared to fresh ET. Endometriosis may be associated with an increased rate of PASD. Women with placenta previa complicated with endometriosis who conceived using frozen ET may be a high risk for PASD.

“…Although various factors (advanced maternal age, ART pregnancy, maternal smoking, etc.) are correlated with a higher rate of PP [ 100 , 101 , 102 ], most studies [ 7 , 8 , 11 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 35 , 36 , 37 ] did not perform a multivariate analysis with adjustments for obstetric background; thus, our study cannot distinguish endometriosis as an independent risk factor for PP due to the confounding factors.…”

“…This study suggested that PP complicated with endometriosis appears to be a high risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage; however, the reason for increased intraoperative bleeding remains unclear. Although the results from this study are unique, there are still some concerns regarding the diagnosis of endometriosis [ 100 , 101 , 102 ]. For example, among the 24 patients, seven had a history of endometriosis, 12 were confirmed to have endometriosis by intraoperative findings, and the remaining cases were suspected to have endometriosis based on the infeasibility of uterine exteriorization due to extrauterine posterior wall adhesion.…”
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease characterized by chronic inflammation, with an estimated prevalence of approximately 5–15% in reproductive-aged women. This study aimed to assess the relationship between placenta previa (PP) and endometriosis. We performed a systematic review of the literature until 30 June 2021, and 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. Using an adjusted pooled analysis, we found that women with endometriosis had a significantly increased rate of PP (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.58–3.89) compared to those without endometriosis. In an unadjusted analysis, severe endometriosis was associated with an increased prevalence of PP (OR 11.86, 95% CI 4.32–32.57), whereas non-severe endometriosis was not (OR 2.16, 95% CI 0.95–4.89). Notably, one study showed that PP with endometriosis was associated with increased intraoperative bleeding (1.515 mL versus 870 mL, p < 0.01) compared to those without endometriosis. Unfortunately, no studies assessed the molecular mechanisms underlying PP in patients with endometriosis. Our findings suggest that there is a strong association between endometriosis and a higher incidence of PP, as well as poor surgical outcomes during cesarean delivery. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic agents or methods is warranted to prevent PP in women with endometriosis.

This study examined the effect of hospital surgical volume on oncologic outcomes in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for gynecologic malignancies. The objectives were to assess survival outcomes related to hospital surgical volume and to evaluate perioperative outcomes and examine non-gynecologic malignancies. Literature available from the PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library databases were systematically reviewed. All surgical procedures including gynecologic surgery with hospital surgical volume information were eligible for analysis. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria, and nine gastro-intestinal studies, seven genitourinary studies, four gynecological studies, two hepatobiliary studies, and one thoracic study were reviewed. Of those, 11 showed a positive volume–outcome association for perioperative outcomes. A study on MIS for ovarian cancer reported lower surgical morbidity in high-volume centers. Two studies were on endometrial cancer, of which one showed lower treatment costs in high-volume centers and the other showed no association with perioperative morbidity. Another study examined robotic-assisted radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer and found no volume–outcome association for surgical morbidity. There were no gynecologic studies examining the association between hospital surgical volume and oncologic outcomes in MIS. The volume–outcome association for oncologic outcome in gynecologic MIS is understudied. This lack of evidence calls for further studies to address this knowledge gap.
