-  21 January 2025
Graphical Abstract
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of the Manchester procedure (MP) and vaginal hysterectomy (VH) for treating mid-compartment prolapse. MP demonstrated lower short-term subjective recurrence and reoperation rates than VH, with comparable anatomical outcomes and complication rates. These findings highlight MP as a viable alternative for prolapse management, particularly for short-term outcomes.

Rating of overall childbirth experience: A qualitative study of a quantitative measurement
-  16 January 2025
Graphical Abstract
Qualitative content analysis revealed heterogeneity in how women reason during the numeric rating of the overall childbirth experience. This was illustrated in one category reflecting different strategies women used when choosing a number, and another category representing various factors of the childbirth experience that women included in the final score. A standardized phrasing of the question and a clear purpose for the evaluation is warranted to strengthen the validity of the measurement. Additional information is needed when the childbirth experience score is used to identify women who may have experienced childbirth as traumatic.
