A Case of Transverse Vaginal Septum Diagnosed During Labor
(Aves, 2005) Ustun, Yusuf; Ustun, Yaprak Engin; Zeteroglu, Sahin; Sahin, Guler; Kamaci, Mansur
Transverse vaginal septum is the result offliulty canalization of the embryonic vagina. We described a case of transverse vaginal septum with a small central aperture diagnosed during labor. An 18-years-old girl at 28 weeks of gestation presented to our obstetric department complaining of symptoms of preterm delivery. Pelvic and vaginal ultrasonography, with gynecologic examination established a diagnosis of transverse vaginal septum in mid vagina. An incision in the vaginal septum allowed us to see the head of the fetus in the vagina. The diagnosis of transverse vaginal septum was confirmed during labor and excision of the septum prevented the uterine rupture.

(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2009) Yildizhan, Recep; Adali, Ertan; Kolusari, Ali; Kurdoglu, Mertihan; Yildizhan, Begum; Sahin, Guler
Objective: To investigate the prevalence of domestic violence against infertile women in a Turkish setting. Methods: A total of 122 women with primary infertility attending an obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic were interviewed using the Abuse Assessment Screen questionnaire to investigate their experiences of domestic violence. Results: In total, 41 (33.6%) women had experienced domestic violence because of their infertility. Of these women, 32 (78%) had experienced domestic violence for the first time in the relationship with the current partner following diagnosis of female factor infertility. The percentage of nonabused and abused infertile women who were mostly satisfied with their sexual lives was 56.87% and 29.2%, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion: Routine screening for domestic violence in infertility clinics is necessary to give affected women an opportunity to access appropriate health care and support services.

(Aras Part Medical int Press, 2015) Cetin, Orkun; Kurdoglu, Zehra; Cim, Numan; Yildizhan, Recep; Sahin, Guler; Kurdoglu, Mertihan
Introduction: Conjoined twins are complicated and unusual form of monozygotic twins. We present early prenatal diagnosis of three cases of conjoined twins by 2-dimensional (2D) ultrasound between 9-10 weeks of gestation. Case presentation: In the first case, we prenatally diagnosed parapagus dicephalus dibrachus dipus with 2-dimensional ultrasound at gestational age of 10 weeks 4 days. In the second case, we detected parapagus dicephalus at the 10 weeks 2 days gestation. In the third case, we diagnosed thoracopagus at the 9 weeks 6 days of gestation, using 2D ultrasound. After proper counselling, all of the patients opted early pregnancy termination due to the poor prognosis of conjoined twins. Conclusion: Early prenatal detection of conjoined twinning is important for the gestational course. Conjoined twinning could be identified in early first trimester with cautious and comprehensive view by experienced sonographers. Early and accurate prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twinning allows preferable counselling of the parents and gives a chance for early termination of pregnancy.
Familial Imperforate Hymen
(Galenos Yayincilik, 2007) Erdemoglu, Evrim; Kolusari, Ali; Sahin, Guler; Kamaci, Mansur
Imperforate hymen, a rare obstructive anomaly of female genital tract, is accepted to be sporadic and isolated. We report an unusual case of familial imperforate hymen and discuss the possible inheritance mode. This is the fifth case to be reported. In our case, there were two affected sisters in a consanguineous marriage suggesting recessive mode of transmission. Imperforate hymen could be a familial condition and examination of family members is important to avoid late diagnosis and associated complications.
A Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Misoprostol and Oxytocin for Premature Rupture of Membranes at Term
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006) Zeteroglu, Sahin; Engin-Ustun, Yaprak; Ustun, Yusuf; Guvercinci, Mehmet; Sahin, Guler; Kamaci, Mansur
Objective. The aim of this randomized trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal misoprostol and oxytocin for cervical ripening and labor induction in patients with premature rupture of membrane ( PROM) at term. Methods. Ninety-seven women with PROM at term were assigned randomly to receive intravaginal misoprostol or oxytocin. The primary outcome measure was the induction - delivery interval. Secondary outcomes included the number of women who delivered vaginally within 12 hours of the start of the induction in the two groups, the cesarean, hyperstimulation, and failed induction rates, the mode of delivery, and the neonatal outcome. Results. Forty-eight women were assigned to intravaginal misoprostol and 49 to oxytocin administration. The mean interval from induction to delivery was 10.61 +/- 2.45 hours in the misoprostol group and 11.57 +/- 1.91 hours in the oxytocin group ( p = 0.063). The rates of vaginal delivery were 83.3% and 87.7% and cesarean delivery were 16.7% and 8.2% in the misoprostol and oxytocin groups, respectively. Neonatal outcomes were not significantly different. Of the cases, 8.3% in the misoprostol group and 8.2% in the oxytocin group revealed uterine contraction abnormalities. Conclusion. Our study demonstrates that, intravaginally, misoprostol results in a similar interval from induction of labor to delivery when compared to oxytocin.
