Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynaecologic diseases and its clinical presentation is generally ovarian endometrioma. We aimed to assess the association of tumour markers with histopathological structure of ovarian endometri…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to review the characteristics, intraoperative and radiological findings of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). METHODS: This retrospective observational cohort study was executed through analysis of the …

INTRODUCTION: This study aims to compare the association between the most commonly used ovarian responsiveness markers - age, anti-Müllerian hormone levels (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC), ovarian sensitivity index (OSI), and ovarian res…

OBJECTIVE: To determine some major characteristic differences between two consecutive successful and unsuccessful intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in poor responders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty women with poor ovarian respo…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is one of the highest mortality cancers in gynaecology. Discrimination of benign masses from malignant ones may sometimes become a challenge for the clinician since there is not a reliable tumour marker, thus some…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the risk factors for the recurrence of ovarian endometrioma after laparoscopic cystectomy. STUDY DESIGN: Reproductive aged patients who underwent laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cystectomy and with histopathologi…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess whether the time from the menstrual day at embryo transfer to expected menstrual cycle (TETEMC) is associated with the implantation in women with regular cycles or not. MATERIALS AND METHODS: …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether there were any differences in the quality of life, sexual function, and self-esteem of patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) (n=42) and total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) (n=42). MAT…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between the estrogen-progesterone alterations before and after ovulation trigger and treatment success in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred fifty-one women with…

BACKGROUND: Extragenital Müllerian adenosarcomas are extremely rare tumours characterised by a stromal component of low-grade malignancy and by a benign glandular epithelial component. CASE REPORT: A 26-year-old woman was admitted to our c…

AIM: Although the exact pathogenesis of endometriosis is not known, it is proposed to be a chronic inflammatory disease. The asso- ciation between red cell distribution width (RDW) and inflammation is well established. Therefore, in the pre…

Didelphic uterus with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis is a rare condition. It usually presents with pelvic pain following the menarche, dysmenorrhoea, and an increase in abdominal volume or a palpable mass due to unilat…

Aberrant methylation of gene promoter regions is one of the mechanisms for inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in human malignancies. In this study, the methylation pattern of 24 tumor suppressor genes was analyzed in 75 samples of ovari…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of etanercept (anti-TNF-α) on surgically induced endometriosis in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study that was carried out at the Experim…

Metastasis of colorectal adenocarcinoma of the ovary is not an uncommon occurrence and ovarian metastases from colorectal carcinoma frequently mimic endometrioid and mucinous primary ovarian carcinoma. The clinical and pathologic features o…

The effects of water collected from an industrially polluted river in a rat model with surgically induced endometriosis were investigated in this preliminary study. Exposure to industrially polluted water resulted in regressed endometriotic…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of the combination of letrozole and melatonin on surgically induced endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study was carried out at Yeditepe Universit…
