    Abstract Endometriosis has a large impact on the lives of patients, affecting nearly 90% of women with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Unfortunately, diagnosis for this condition is often delayed by an average of 7 years, with adolescent patients experiencing disproportionate delays. This is in part due to the use of an invasive procedure for primary diagnosis and limited access to subspecialty care. While laparoscopy serves an important purpose in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis, it has been found to be less cost-effective than empiric medical therapy and puts an emphasis on the lesion as opposed to the patient and the disease process as a whole. As studies emerge, we gain a deeper understanding of the complex nature of this disease. Laparoscopy has been shown to have variable results, with high recurrence rates and varying improvement in symptoms over time. Additionally, studies have shown a poor correlation between patients' pain and the stage and location of lesions, with laparoscopy showing greater benefit for later-stage disease and deep infiltrating endometriosis. This article seeks to evaluate the current standards for the management of endometriosis, discuss the place for diagnostic laparoscopy, and review future directions and alternatives.
    Lay summary: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disorder that occurs when uterine tissue is found outside the uterus. This condition affects women of reproductive age and can have serious impacts on their lives, causing pain and difficulty getting pregnant. The primary method of diagnosis is surgical, which has associated risks and can delay care to patients. As further studies emerge, our understanding of this condition improves, and it is important to evaluate current practices. This article focuses on the pros and cons of using surgical methods to diagnose endometriosis and alternative options that may be safer and provide more timely care to patients.

    Abstract The healthcare industry makes up 4.6 % of greenhouse gas (GHS) emissions worldwide. Although it is not known what proportion of GHGs come from obstetric and newborn units, newborns and pregnant individuals are likely to face some of the largest consequences from climate change. We review the literature in the areas of decarbonization on labor and delivery (L&D) and neonatal units and describe innovations from the fields of surgery and anesthesia. Best practices for L&D include refining disposable equipment packs, decreasing the use of single-use medical devices, adequately triaging waste, and decreasing the use of potent anesthetic gases such as nitrous oxide and desflurane. In neonatal settings, similarly triaging waste and decreasing the use of plastics containing endocrine disrupting chemicals can lower the carbon and environmental footprint and improve neonatal health. Additionally, avoiding unnecessary cesarean deliveries and increasing breastfeeding practices are also likely to improve the carbon footprint of L&D and neonatal units.

    Abstract We aimed to study whether separating the vaginal and abdominal surgical fields during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) is associated with surgical site infection rates. This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients who underwent TLH and any concomitant procedures with two minimally invasive gynecologic surgery subspecialists between January 2016 and May 2023. Among 680 included patients, the rate of infection was 0.8% with surgical field separation and 1.3% without (3/377 vs 4/303; odds ratio 0.60, 95% CI, 0.13-2.70). There was no statistical difference between groups; however, the difference in infection rates between groups was extremely small, which led to inadequate power. Our findings suggest that rates of infection after TLH are low, with or without surgical field separation. Treating the vagina, perineum, and abdomen as a single, continuous operative field during TLH may be an acceptable practice.

    Abstract Current practices in the U.S. health care industry drive climate change. This review summarizes the vast research on the negative health effects of the climate crisis on patients as relevant to obstetrics and gynecology. We further propose solutions to decarbonize operating rooms, labor and delivery units, and nurseries and neonatal intensive care units through evidence-based reduction in our single-use supply, energy, and water, as well as anesthetic gases and appropriate waste sorting.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate compatibility, stability, and microbiologic risk of omadacycline 1 mg/mL when prepared in an elastomeric infusion pump and stored under refrigeration for 9 days based upon requests for information from healthcare providers.
    Methods: Omadacycline was reconstituted to 1 mg/mL with sodium chloride 0.9% w/v or dextrose 5% w/v in SMARTeZ
    Results: Appearance, pH, osmolality, percent label claim, and particulate matter results remained essentially unchanged for omadacycline solutions in either diluent over the 9-day study. No > 0.5-log day-to-day increases in the challenge-microorganism populations were measured in diluted omadacycline pumps or positive controls. With omadacycline, no growth was seen for
    Conclusion: After reconstitution, omadacycline for injection was stable and remained within specifications for use for up to 9 days when refrigerated.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Telemedicine has been available for decades but has had minimal use in the USA prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to educate readers on the benefits of telemedicine and provide insight from our experience to optimize care in this setting.
    Recent findings: The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a massive increase in use of telemedicine, offering several advantages with comparable clinical outcomes.
    Summary: This review summarizes the recent vast expansion of telemedicine, describes the benefits specific to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and offers practical suggestions for maintaining a successful practice that incorporates both in-person and virtual experiences for patients, anticipating continued use of telemedicine beyond the end of the current public health emergency.
