The association between the most severe types of placenta accreta spectrum disorders and caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) poses the question of whether early diagnosis may impact the clinical outcome of these anomalies. The aim of this study is to report the outcome of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) diagnosed in the early (≤9 weeks) versus late (>9 weeks) first trimester of pregnancy. Medline, Embase and Clinicaltrail.gov databases were searched. Studies including cases of CSP with an early (≤9 weeks of gestation) compared to a late (>9 weeks) first trimester diagnosis of CSP, followed by immediate treatment, were included in this systematic review. The primary outcome was a composite measure of severe maternal morbidity including either severe first trimester bleeding, need for blood transfusion, uterine rupture or emergency hysterectomy. The secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome. Random-effect meta-analyses were used to combine data. Thirty-six studies (724 women nificantly lower risk of maternal complications, thus supporting a policy of universal screening for these anomalies in women with a prior cesarean delivery although the cost-effectiveness of such policy should be tested in future studies. Early first trimester diagnosis of CSP is associated with a significantly lower risk of maternal complications, thus supporting a policy of universal screening for these anomalies in women with a prior cesarean delivery although the cost-effectiveness of such policy should be tested in future studies. A bicornuate uterus results from failure of the Müllerian ducts to completely fuse. If patients with bicornuate uterus are diagnosed with infertility, they can conceive with help from in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI). With few studies on the reproductive performances of bicornuate uterus following IVF/ICSI treatment, the aim of present study is to investigate whether a bicornuate uterus would affect pregnancy rates and obstetric outcomes of infertile women. A retrospective cohort study contained 232 women (58 with bicornuate uterus and 174 with normal uterus) was conducted. Patient data for IVF/ICSI treatment and follow-up were collected and analyzed. Cumulative pregnancy rate and cumulative live birth rate after one complete assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle were the primary outcomes. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the bicornuate uterus group and the control group. Ovarian response to stimulation and embryological results were similar betweeatment between women with bicornuate uterus and women with normal uterus. Bicornuate uterus had no significant negative effects on cumulative IVF/ICSI outcomes of infertile patients. There were no significant differences in ovarian responses, pregnancy outcomes, and obstetric outcomes after IVF/ICSI treatment between women with bicornuate uterus and women with normal uterus. Bicornuate uterus had no significant negative effects on cumulative IVF/ICSI outcomes of infertile patients. The aim of this study was to compare the perinatal outcomes associated with spatulas or forceps assisted delivery. This is a bicentric retrospective cohort study including all assisted deliveries in cephalic presentation after 37 weeks of gestation, performed on singleton pregnancy with forceps and with spatulas in two tertiary centers. The main outcome was the rate of episiotomy. Secondary outcomes included obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS), maternal outcomes and neonatal parameters. Out of 37 002 deliveries, the overall rate of assisted delivery was 11.4 %, and 1 041 (2.8 %) assisted deliveries with forceps and 2 462 (6.7 %) spatulas deliveries were included. The rate of episiotomy was 90.3 % after forceps-assisted delivery and 70.9 % for spatulas (p < 0.001). The rate of OASIS was 7.2 % and 5.6 % respectively (p
