    Abstract Background: One of the most vulnerable group to cope with the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic are women, particularly pregnant ones.
    Objective: The aim of this article was to make review of the scientific literature to show clearly that pandemic is not so dangerous neither for mother nor her unborn and newborn children.
    Results and discussion: It should be stated that most of the scientific papers on COVID-19 are currently being conducted in a way that would probably be completely unacceptable to serious science in any other circumstances. Taking into account everything we have learned about the SARS-CoV-2 virus so far it comes as a surprise that there has not been a more intense scientific debate on whether the blind lockdown model, implemented by most national governments, was truly an appropriate response to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
    Conclusion: Deep analysis what science in perinatal medicine did assess and what it recommended to perinatal world it may be followed by principles that the research of the members of the Academy will not be the first to be published, but we certainly aim that the scientific evidence published by Academy is fast, reliable and implementable.

    Abstract Endometrial ablation is one of the most effective methods for treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). Balloon devices with circulating hot water inside or electrodes on the outer surface and radiofrequency-induced thermal destructors are the most recently introduced available tools for endometrial ablation. All of these methods are effective and simple but expensive technologies. The aim of this brief report is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a new, simple and money-saving procedure, namely foley catheter balloon endometrial ablation (FCBEA), for treatment of DUB. We present our experience with FCBEA performed on 3 women with severe meno-metrorrhagia unresponsive to medical therapy. There were no procedure-related complications with achievement of complete amenorrhea for a 19 months follow-up period. Although FCBA has yielded encouraging results, there exists a need for further investigation and validation on larger groups, before its universal application.

    Abstract Several obstetric complications due to inappropriately healed cesarean scar such as placenta accreta, scar dehiscence, and ectopic scar pregnancy are increasingly reported along with rising cesarean rates. Furthermore, many gynecologic conditions, including abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain and infertility, are imputed to deficient cesarean scar healing. Hysteroscopy is the most commonly reported approach for the revision of cesarean scar defects (CSDs). Nevertheless, existing evidence is inadequate to conclude that either hysteroscopy or laparoscopy is effective or superior to each other. Although several management options have been suggested recently, the laparoscopic approach has not been thoroughly scrutinized. We present a case and reviewed the data related to the laparoscopic repair of CSDs and compared the hysteroscopic and laparoscopic management options based on the data from previously published articles. As a result of our analyses, the laparoscopic approach increases uterine wall thickness when compared with the hysteroscopic approach, and both surgical techniques seem to be effective for the resolution of gynecologic symptoms. Hysteroscopic treatment most likely corrects the scar defect but does not strengthen the uterine wall; thus, the potential risk of dehiscence or rupture in subsequent pregnancies does not seem to be improved. Because large uterine defects are known risk factors for scar dehiscence, the repair of the defect to reinforce the myometrial endurance seems to be an appropriate method of treatment.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the correlation between the number of excised neural fibers and degree of pain relief following laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPSN).
    Materials and methods: In this before and after study, 20 patients with severe midline dysmenorrhea [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) >80 mm] unresponsive to medical therapy were consecutively enrolled. All patients underwent LPSN. The superior hypogastric plexus was excised and sent for histologic confirmation. Two pathologists counted the number of neural fibers in the surgically removed tissue. VAS was used for pain assessment before and 2nd, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months after the operations.
    Results: Out of the initial 20 patients undergoing LPSN, eight were excluded from the final analysis due to intraoperative diagnosis of endometriosis; therefore, the remaining 12 patients were evaluated. The pain scores significantly decreased at each follow-up visit compared with the preoperative period (p=0.002). The pathologists, who were blinded, reported the median (minimum-maximum) neural fiber count as 46 (20-85) and 47 (18-83). No significant correlation was demonstrated between the number of excised neural fibers and the amount of pain relief following LPSN.
    Conclusion: LPSN is an effective surgical procedure to control primary dysmenorrhea. Our preliminary results revealed that the degree of pain relief in cases of severe midline dysmenorrhea was not related to the amount of excised neural tissue in LPSN.

    Abstract Objective: To report the successful treatment of an advanced interstitial ectopic pregnancy via laparoscopic cornuotomy following treatment failure with methotrexate (MTX).
    Case: A 28-year-old, gravida 3, para 0 woman with a history of successfully treated tubal pregnancy with medical therapy 2 years ago, presented with spotting bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Her initial beta-hCG level was 11706 mIU/ml and the transvaginal ultrasound examination showed an empty uterine cavity with a gestational sac 8 x 10 x 9 mm in diameter having no fetal pole or yolk sac, located just adjacent to the left uterine cornual region. She was introduced 50 mg of systemic MTX with the presumed diagnosis of interstitial pregnancy. Because the serum beta-hCG level raised to 18654 mIU/ml and a fetal pole with cardiac activity emerged on the ultrasound on the fourth day after MTX injection, laparoscopy was planned. The interstitial pregnancy was successfully treated via laparoscopic cornuotomy with the preservation of the uterus.
    Conclusion: In advanced interstitial pregnancies with high hCG levels, systemic MTX therapy is expected to be ineffective. Laparoscopic cornuotomy is a minimally invasive and effective method of treatment with the advantage of preserving future fertility.

    Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anemia is the most common disease, affecting >1.5 billion people worldwide. Furthermore, iron deficiency anemia (IDA) accounts for 50% of cases of anemia. IDA is common during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and can lead to serious maternal and fetal complications. The aim of this report was to present the experiences of a multidisciplinary expert group, and to establish reference guidelines for the optimal diagnosis and treatment of IDA during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Studies and guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of IDA published in Turkish and international journals were reviewed. Conclusive recommendations were made by an expert panel aiming for a scientific consensus. Measurement of serum ferritin has the highest sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of IDA unless there is a concurrent inflammatory condition. The lower threshold value for hemoglobin (Hb) in pregnant women is <11 g/dL during the 1

    Abstract Fetal cardiac dysrhythmias are potentially life-threatening conditions. However, intermittent extrasystoles, which are frequently encountered in clinical practice, do not require treatment. Sustained forms of brady- and tachyarrhythmias might require fetal intervention. Fetal echocardiography is essential not only to establish the diagnosis but also to monitor fetal response to therapy. In the last decade, improvements in ultrasound methodology and new diagnostic tools have contributed to better diagnostic accuracy and to a greater understanding of the electrophysiological mechanisms involved in fetal cardiac dysrhythmias. The most common form of supraventricular tachycardia - that caused by an atrioventricular re-entry circuit - should be differentiated from other forms of tachyarrhythmias, such as atrial flutter and atrial ectopic tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia is rare in the fetus. Sustained tachycardias, intermittent or not, might be associated with the development of congestive heart failure and hydrops fetalis. Prompt treatment with either anti-arrhythmic drugs or delivery must be considered. Persistent fetal bradycardias associated with complete heart block are also potentially dangerous, whereas bradyarrhythmia due to blocked ectopy is well tolerated in pregnancy. Heart block can be associated with maternal anti-Ro/La autoantibodies or develop in fetuses with left atrial isomerism or with malformations involving the atrioventricular junction. The treatment of fetuses with immune-mediated heart block remains debatable. The use of antenatal steroid therapy is not widely accepted and there is concern over the risks and benefits of its use in the fetus. Direct fetal cardiac pacing has rarely been attempted.
