Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to introduce the second issue of the “Journal of the Turkish-German Gynecological Association (J Turk Ger Gynecol Assoc)” in the publishing year of 2025. This issue is consisted of seven articles, and two reviews that we hope you will read with interest. Also you may have the oppurtunity to read the quiz. Here we share some of our favorite articles that were published in this issue of the journal.
Numerous epithelial lesions and malignancies, primarily on cutaneous and mucosal surfaces, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There is a wealth of evidence connecting HPV to cervical cancer. HPV infection is the cause of almost all cervical cancer cases, with HPV 16 and 18 being responsible for the majority of malignancies. The less common HPV strains linked to cervical cancer also exhibit some regional variation. A study examining the prevalence and significance of multiple strain HPV positivity in patients with cervical preinvasive lesions and cancer will be available for you to read.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women is a widespread yet undertreated issue worldwide. As recommended, lifestyle changes, pelvic floor muscle exercise and topical vaginal estrogen are usually the first steps in treatment. Those who do not respond well, or who wish to have surgery, can proceed with procedures targeted at the specific mechanism of urinary incontinence. You will also have the opportunity to read an article evaluating the short-term effects of the mini-sling procedure in patients with SUI by performing ultrasonographic examinations and validated questionnaires over a 6-month follow-up period.
Dear Participants,
I am very proud to say that the 15th Turkish-German Gynecology Congress was held in Antalya between April 23-27 of 2025, with a great success with more than 1500 registered participants, 4 precongress courses, 1 live surgery session, 3 keynote lecture, 65 lectures, 6 satellite symposiums, 128 oral presentations, 54 poster presentations and 37 video presentations. It was a tremendous health education event for our community.
We received many positive comments from the congress participants on the quality of the scientific presentations and the organization of the congress. Experts like you who could respond to questions and provide knowledge were crucial to our success. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who attended for their time and commitment to this event.
