OBJECTIVE: To compare the perioperative outcomes of transumbilical morcellation (TUM) and transvaginal morcellation (TVM) of a large uterus (≥500 g) during single-port-access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH). METHODS: A total of 57…
We propose a novel method, the epinephrine compression method (Epi-pledget), as a hemostasis method for ovarian cystectomy. A total of 179 patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with stripping were randomly allocated into three…
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of scheduled ramosetron injections for controlling postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after single-port access total laparoscopic hysterectomy (SPA-TLH).MethodsNinet…
AIM: We aimed to evaluate the impact of topical hemostatic sealants and bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cyst resection on ovarian reserve by comparing the rates of decrease in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). METH…
ObjectiveTo determine whether different methods of hemostasis and pathologic subtypes would lead to significant differences regarding ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy.Study designData were prospectively collected from 1…
STUDY QUESTION: Is hemostasis by hemostatic sealant superior to that achieved by bipolar coagulation in preserving ovarian reserve in patients undergoing laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy? SUMMARY ANSWER: Post-operative ovarian reserve, deter…
ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of single port transumbilical laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) for the treatment of adnexal lesions.MethodsWe have performed SPLS to treat adnexal lesions using a single thre…
