IntroductionMinimally invasive surgery is preferred over laparotomy due to shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and reduced risk of complications. Despite these advantages, studies indicate an increased risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence (…

OBJECTIVES: To compare transvaginal sonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with intraoperative measurement (IOM) using a rectal probe in the estimation of the location of rectosigmoid endometriotic lesions, i.e. lesion-to-ana…

IntroductionUreteric injury is a rare but serious, iatrogenic complication of hysterectomy. The risk depends on indication for surgery, predisposing risk factors, and peroperative conditions. Our aims were to evaluate and learn from compens…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the agreement of measurements of the three diameters of rectosigmoid deep endometriosis (DE) lesions between presurgical evaluation using transvaginal sonography (TVS) and postsurgical specimen measurement (PSM). …

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate imaging methods used to diagnose adenomyosis. DATA SOURCES: A thorough search was completed through the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and Pub…

Imaging of endometriosis and in particular deep endometriosis (DE) is crucial in the clinical management of women facing this debilitating condition. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the first-line imaging method and magnetic resonance imag…

OBJECTIVES: First, to investigate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for presurgical evaluation of the distance between the most caudal part of the endometriotic lesion and the anal verge (lesion-to-anal-verge distance (LAVD)) in…

ObjectivesTo develop and validate a scoring system for laparoscopic skills for five specific tasks on a virtual reality simulator.Study designA longitudinal, experimental, non-randomised study including 30 gynecologists and gynecological tr…

ObjectivesTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of a junctional zone (JZ) thickness of ≥ 12 mm and morphological features of the JZ in MRI in diagnosing adenomyosis in a premenopausal study population.MethodsThis single-center, prospective obse…

Study objectiveTo determine if it is possible and safe to obtain adenomyosis tissue in vivo without removing the uterus in order to use it for further molecular investigations of adenomyosis, which would allow investigating the pathogenesis…

ObjectiveTo develop a multivariate prediction model for diagnosing adenomyosis using predictors available through transvaginal ultrasonography and clinical examinations.DesignProspective observational single-center study.SettingTeaching uni…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the occurrence and intensity of cyclic pelvic pain and patient satisfaction after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy and to explore the effect of the procedure on pelvic pain relief in women with perioperat…

Objective. To describe the route of hysterectomy in a county hospital and evaluate the shift towards a minimal invasive approach. Design. Retrospective cohort study. Setting. A county hospital in Norway. Population. All women were scheduled…

Long-term outcomes, in terms of cervical stump symptoms and overall patient satisfaction, were studied in women both after abdominal (SAH) and laparosocopic (LSH) supracervical hysterectomies. Altogether, 134 women had SAH and 315 women LSH…

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of long-term outcomes following laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH). DESIGN: Retrospective postal questionnaire. SETTING: Norwegian university teaching hospital. POPULATION: A total of 315 consecutive patient…
