Uterocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare clinical condition that may be caused by postoperative or postpartum complications, such as infection or inflammation. Although fibroids and myomectomy are common clinical entities among women of reproductive age, there are very few postmyomectomy uterocutaneous fistula cases in the literature. This article presents the first reported case of a succesful pregnancy and live birth following treatment of a postmyomectomy uterocutaneous fistula. After laparoscopic adhesiolysis, a minilaparotomy was performed to excise the fistula tract completely from both the abdominal wall and the uterus. The uterine wall defect was repaired in multiple layers. The patient had a good recovery after surgery, and the uterocutaneous fistula resolved completely. Due to obliteration of both tubal ostia, the patient was referred for in vitro fertilisation treatment. She conceived after the third frozen embryo transfer procedure and gave birth to a 4.4 kg baby at full term by caesarean section.

To increase access to long-acting contraception, we developed a reversible contraceptive microneedle patch that is simple-to-administer, slowly releases contraceptive hormone (levonorgestrel) for >1 month, and generates no biohazardous sharps waste. After manually pressing the patch to skin for 1 min, microneedles rapidly separate from the patch within the skin due to effervescence triggered by contact with skin’s interstitial fluid, as demonstrated in rats and human participants. Long-acting contraception is achieved by formulating microneedles with a biodegradable polymer [poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid] that slowly releases levonorgestrel for ~1 month in vitro. In rats, the patch maintained levonorgestrel concentration above the human contraceptive threshold level for >1 month, and a placebo microneedle patch was well-tolerated in human participants. Women of reproductive age in three continents demonstrated interest in and preference for long-acting contraception by microneedle patch. These studies indicate that an effervescent microneedle patch could facilitate greater access to long-acting contraception.

An ovarian endometrioma is a very common form of endometriosis in women of reproductive age. This review presents the current state of research on ovarian reserve in women with ovarian endometriomas. Endometrioma can negatively affect ovarian markers: the anti‑Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF) results. Decisions on the surgical treatment of endometrial cysts should be carefully thought through, especially in women who have not given birth.
