Adenomyosis and uterine fibroids are among the most common benign uterine disorders in women of reproductive age and represent major causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Despite their distinct histopathological…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of male human papillomavirus (HPV) sexually transmitted infection on sperm parameters, embryo morphokinetics, and clinical pregnancy outcomes in assisted reproductive technol…

This manuscript examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids and uterine sarcomas, offering a comprehensive assessment of AI-supported diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Through th…

AIM OF THE STUDY: To define the impact of cervical fibroids (CFs) localization, size, and their combined presence on the feasibility of performing cervical intracapsular myomectomy (CIME) by using a vaginal approach. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation …

INTRODUCTION: Poor ovarian response (POR) remains a major limitation in assisted reproductive medicine. Direct comparisons between r-hFSH alfa + r-LH and r-hFSH delta + hMG in this population are scarce. METHODS: This retrospective study i…

BACKGROUND: Embryo implantation and early survival in a synchronized, receptive endometrium are critical for establishing a successful pregnancy, but uterine pathologies can present challenges to reproductive success by significantly impact…

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to evaluate the utility and safety of ancillary maneuvers during oocyte retrieval for patients with endometrioma that makes ovum pick-up hard due to poor ovarian surgical accessibility. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Case…

Oocyte-cumulus cell interaction is essential for oocyte maturation and competence. The bidirectional crosstalk network mediated by gap junctions is fundamental for the metabolic cooperation between these cells. As cumulus cells exhibit a mo…

Genetic anomalies in oocyte maturation present significant fertility and embryonic development challenges. This review explores the intricate mechanisms of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, emphasizing the genetic and molecular factors co…

Isthmocele is a gynecological condition characterized by a disruption in the uterine scar, often associated with prior cesarean sections. This anatomical anomaly can be attributed to inadequate or insufficient healing of the uterine wall fo…

In eutocic labor, the autonomic nervous system is dominated by the parasympathetic system, which ensures optimal blood flow to the uterus and placenta. This study is focused on the detection of the quantitative presence of catecholamine (C)…

UNLABELLED: Combined oral contraceptives (COC), are among the most widely used contraceptive methods in the world today. Despite the different changes in terms of estrogen/progestogen combinations and dosages, the thromboembolic risk for a …

Cornual pregnancy (CP) is a subtype of ectopic pregnancy that is implanted in the interstitial segment of the fallopian tube which is defined as the tubal section crossing uterine muscular tissue. Widely recognized risk factors for CP are e…

Follitropin delta (Δ) is a recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH), like natural human FSH, that can stimulate the development and growth of multiple follicles. Treatment with Follitropin-Δ may cause mild to severe adverse rea…

Fertility preservation (FP) is becoming a critical issue in transgender men who desire biological offspring in the future. The prevalence of transgender individuals in the United States is increasing, and as a result, the demand for gender-…

One emerging problem for onco-gynecologists is the incidence of premenopausal patients under 40 years of age diagnosed with stage I Endometrial Cancer (EC) who want to preserve their fertility. Our review aims to define a primary risk asses…

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a rare but high-risk cause of uterine bleeding. The clinical management of this condition is challenging, as the ultrasound picture can sometimes be unambiguously interpreted. Moreover, in the p…

Minimally invasive treatment of uterine fibroids usually requires a power morcellation, which could be associated with several complications. A rare sequela is disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. Indeed, recurrence or metastasis in thes…

(1) Background: Uterine rupture during pregnancy is a serious obstetric complication with a high incidence of maternal morbidity and mortality. (2) Methods: The present case is a rare event of a uterine rupture occurring in an unscarred ute…

Uterine myomas or fibroids are the most common benign female tumors of the reproductive organs, associated with significant morbidity and quality of life impairment. Several epidemiological risk factors for their occurrence have been identi…

BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS: This study aims to compare hysteroscopic and histological findings in asymptomatic postmenopausal patients with thickened endometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study involving case records of 295 asympto…
