Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disorder associated with infertility and increased cancer risk, necessitating the development of sensitive and reliable diagnostic methods. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising no…
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as robust biomarkers for diagnosing and prognosing gynecological diseases due to their disease-specific expression and remarkable stability in body fluids. Despite the inherent instability of RNA molecules, c…
We aimed to examine how leuprorelin has been studied for the treatment of women with endometriosis in Asia. We conducted a literature search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov. This review includes randomised trials of w…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic hysterectomy for a large barrel-shaped uterus is difficult. We assessed the feasibility of single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy in a large barrel-shaped uterus after gonadotropin-releasing hormone ag…
We reviewed current literature regarding the association of endometriosis and epithelial ovarian cancer based on epidemiology studies, molecular researches and clinical observations. Our methods include a review of literature research of ME…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether laparoscopic in situ morcellation (LISM) can facilitate laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) for large uteri. DESIGN: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-1). SETTING: …
BACKGROUND: To study if there are specific problems in laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) for a certain weight of bulky uteri and the strategies to overcome such problems. METHODS: One hundred and eighty-one women with m…
OBJECTIVE: To assess uterine size, symptom severity, and hemoglobin level as determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in women subsequently undergoing laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). METHODS: Sixty-one …
AIM: To evaluate a strategy for successful laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) in patients with extensive pelvic adhesion. METHODS: Two hundred and thirty-six patients who underwent LAVH at National Taiwan University Hospital…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of uterine artery ligation through retrograde tracking of the umbilical ligament (RUL) in laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). DESIGN: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force …
