Excerpt

Over the last two decades, easier and less-expensive stimulation treatments have been largely replaced by more complex and more demanding protocols. Since the mid-nineties, long-term gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist stimulation protocols have been widely used. Such lengthy expensive regimens are not free from short- and long-term risks and complications. The use of controlled ovarian stimulation to obtain multiple eggs for Assisted Conception has resulted in a compromise.
  • In terms of the risk of Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) [1].
  • Expense [1].
  • Multiple pregnancies [1].
  • Wastage of or the need for cryopreservation of surplus embryos [1].
  • Even some women with apparently normal menstrual cycles might become “poor responders” when administered with follicular stimulants [1].
  • Incidence of oocyte aneuploidy is artificially raised after stimulation [2].

Nodal-negativ nach neoadjuvanter Chemo: Axilladissektion verzichtbar?

03.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Wenn bei Mammakarzinomen durch eine neoadjuvante Chemotherapie ein Downstaging von nodal-positiv zu nodal-negativ gelingt, scheint es auch ohne Axilladissektion nur selten zu axillären Rezidiven zu kommen.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.
