This article reports the live birth of a healthy newborn using vitrified-warmed oocytes from fertility preservation before ovarian surgery. The patient in our case underwent two cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation before laparoscopic b…

Background: Reduced-port robotic myomectomy (RPRM) using Da Vinci® Xi™ is a good fertility-saving surgical option, but the surgical and fertility outcomes are unknown. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study evaluating the feasibilit…

PURPOSE: The present study aimed to identify microorganisms in follicular fluids and to investigate their association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted as a prospective study of 49 …

OBJECTIVE: Oocyte (OC), embryo (EC), and ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) are options for fertility preservation (FP) before going through gonadotoxic cancer treatment, or anticipated fertility decline in benign ovarian diseases, or fo…

Endometrioma is known to reduce the ovarian reserve and the extent of the decrease is more severe when ovarian surgery is performed. Therefore, to prevent this decline in fertility, patients with endometrioma are considered candidates for p…

RESEARCH-QUESTION: What is the clinical usefulness of oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation in women with ovarian endometriosis? DESIGN: Clinical characteristics were retrospectively analysed in 34 women with endometrioma befo…

This study aimed to analyze the effects of a new protocol with letrozole on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles in women with endometriosis. This retrospective cohort study was conducted for women diagnosed with endometriosi…

PURPOSE: To elucidate the correlation between ovarian reserve and the incidence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF/ET) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this observational study, 430 fresh I…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the patterns of estradiol-oocyte ratio (EOR) and estradiol-mature oocyte ratio (EMOR) in patients with breast cancer undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) using letrozole and gonadotropins for fertility p…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes between women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) after endometrioma operation and women with DOR without ovarian surgery. METHODS: This retrospective case-control study inc…

OBJECTIVE: Uterine contraction induced by the embryo transfer (ET) process has an adverse effect on embryo implantation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oxytocin antagonist supplementation on the day of ET on in vitro f…

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian reserve tests are commonly used to predict ovarian response in infertile patients undergoing ovarian stimulation. Although serum markers such as basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) or random anti-Müllerian hormone (A…

OBJECTIVE: To report the various anatomic locations of surgically and pathologically proven endometriosis. METHODS: Pathologic reports (n=1,376) of women who underwent surgeries at a single center between April 2005 and March 2013 were ret…

This prospective study investigated the relationship between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level in the follicular fluid (FF) and the quality of the oocyte and embryo. A total of 65 FF samples from 54 women were included in this study. FF wa…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between the severity of endometriosis and the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and serum level of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125). METHODS: Data were obtained from the medical records of …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of individual follicular fluid (FF) leptin and adiponectin levels with the quality of the corresponding oocyte and embryo. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 67 women who underwent controlled ovari…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation between serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and ovarian response to mild stimulation in normoovulatory women and anovulatory women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: Seventy-four…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to identify variables associated with treatment failure in women with menorrhagia who were treated with thermal balloon ablation (TBA) or levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS), an…

PURPOSE: To investigate whether preoperative serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels are lower in women with ovarian endometrioma and in women with mature cystic teratoma of the ovaries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a tertiary university ho…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sperm selection by hyaluronic acid (HA) binding could improve fertilization rate and embryo quality in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Two hundred nineteen oocytes obtaine…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship between endometriosis and polymorphisms in the genes encoding tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), TRAIL receptor (DR) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) and their serum levels …

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to assess the prognostic value of serum hCG, progesterone, and inhibin A levels measured at 11 days post-ET for predicting pregnancy outcome in women participating in IVF. METHODS: Between May 2005 and A…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women with unilateral tubal occlusion. METHODS: Superovulation and IUI was performed during 2003-2010 and the medical records were reviewed retrospectivel…

PROBLEM: To investigate the association between polymorphisms of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family genes and endometriosis in Korean women. METHOD OF STUDY: In this case-control study, the IL-1α -889C>T, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) 86-…
