Complications of ileoanal pouch surgery affecting function and quality of life may require surgical correction or pouch excision. The management of patients with pouch dysfunction requires a multidisciplinary approach and demand for service…

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in predicting survival outcomes based on breast cancer gene (BRCA) mutational status in epithelial ovarian cancer.MethodsMedical records…

We describe a case of adenomyosis that reduced in size in a patient with lymphoma on receiving chemotherapy. A 48-year-old woman with worsening left flank pain was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. [ 18 F]FDG PET/CT revealed multiple hype…

This study aims to analyze the types and cost of infertility care provided in a clinical setting to examine the changes of healthcare utilization for infertility after the 2017 launch of assisted reproductive technology (ART) health insuran…

While a wide range of treatments, including medical therapies and surgery, are used to manage endometriosis, the characteristics and treatment status of patients who received these treatments have not been investigated in Korea. This study …

Optimizing endometrial thickness (EMT) is crucial for successful embryo implantation, but enhancing thin endometrium remains a significant challenge. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)-derived therapies have emerged as a promising approach in repro…

PurposeTo report preliminary experience of single-port robotic surgery using the da Vinci SP surgical system in gynecologic tumors.Materials and methodsThis was a retrospective study on 100 consecutive patients who underwent da Vinci SP sin…

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) promotes an anti-inflammatory process by inducing the development of M2 macrophages. We investigated whether modulating STAT6 activity in macrophages using AS1517499, the specific S…

We aim to analyze the surgical outcomes and learning curve of single-site robot-assisted hysterectomy. This was a retrospective cohort study from a single academic medical center. A total of 123 patients who underwent single-site robotic su…

BACKGROUND: There is limited comprehensive evidence on the potential association between early menarche and subsequent health outcomes. AIM: To evaluate the existing evidence for the association of early menarche with later health outcomes…

Study objectiveTo investigate the therapeutic efficacy of catheter-directed ethanol sclerotherapy (CDS) and its effect on ovarian reserve in patients with endometrioma at risk of decreased ovarian reserve.DesignRetrospective study.SettingTe…

The present study aimed to compare the accuracy of the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) and cancer antigen (CA)125 to discriminate between benign ovarian tumors and early-stage ovarian cancer according to imaging tumor subtypes a…

ObjectiveThis study introduces and evaluates the feasibility, safety, and surgical outcomes of the in-bag power morcellation technique during single-port assisted (SPA) laparoscopic myomectomy in comparison with manual scalpel morcellation.…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of falsely elevated risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) in a group of women with pathologically confirmed endometrioma and to investigate the associated factors. METHODS: One hundred premenopaus…

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to investigate how frequently discrepant imaging findings are encountered between T2-weighted imaging and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging in the preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) assessment of …

To evaluate whether the surgical resection or aspiration with ethanol sclerotherapy (AEST) of endometrioma before in vitro fertilization (IVF) affect controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and IVF outcome in the infertilie women with endometr…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether letrozole incorporated in a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist multiple dose protocol (MDP) improved controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) results in poor responder…

This study was performed to investigate the expression of cathepsin B mRNA and protein in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues of patients with endometriosis and in normal endometrial tissues and to clarify the association between the ca…
