She also worked for 25 years at Red Cross Children’s Hospital as a paediatric gynaecologist, where she had a special interest in reconstructive gynaecological surgery for ano-genital congenital malformations in girls. Her private work involves gynaecology, gynae oncology, which means consultation, surgery and chemotherapy for women with gynaecological precancerous and cancer conditions. Her special interest at present, apart from that, is in vulvo-vaginal disease. They had developed a vulval clinic at GSH in the last 20 years. In her private capacity, she can see and do research in women with vulvo-vaginal problems. Her most recent work has been with the problem of Lichen Sclerosus(LS), which is a chronic inflammatory like condition of the vulva. Often misdiagnosed as candida.
As an ongoing research, she is doing fat cell stem cell transfer for women with LS, where conventional treatment is failing or not adequate. This is a unique approach, not done elsewhere in Africa, and only in a few other countries. She recently presented the preliminary results at the RCOG meeting in March at the CTICC.

3D volume imaging is the most important advantage in modern sonography after the introduction of the vaginal probe. The great use of 3D ultrasound in obtaining valuable medical details is undoubted and it could replace MRI scans in gynecology patients as it is able to provide the same or even better views. The review article addresses how to obtain optimum 3D images and some of the possible clinical applications of this technique. The review also addresses in more detail the three major steps in obtaining 3D images, which are volume acquisition, volume display, and volume analysis.
Prenatal invasive tests are being used for the diagnosis of fetal aneuploidies. Fetal loss is the major complication of invasive procedures with varying proportions. In this prospective study, authors aimed to determine the predictivity of cervical length (CL) in terms of miscarriage associated with diagnostic prenatal invasive procedures that are performed in two separate centers.
Oxytocin and magnesium sulfate are high-alert medications with risks for significant patient harm. This paper describes experiences of 25 Labor and Delivery (L&D) units which sought to apply safety science principles such as standardization, learning from defects, independent checks, teamwork and communication, and in situ simulation training for safe administration of oxytocin and magnesium sulfate. This effort was part of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Safety Program for Perinatal Care.
