Over the past 500 years, the convergence of three distinct paths - vaginal surgery, laparoscopy, and robotic technologies - has enabled the development of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES). T…

INTRODUCTION: This study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of robotic single-port transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) compared with robotic Xi-assisted single-incision transumbilical surgery (R…

Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. Here, we used in vivo and in …

Endometriosis, defined as the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity, is an inflammatory and hormone-dependent disease that causes excruciating pelvic pain, infertility, and significantly decreases quality of lif…

BACKGROUND: Intraoperative ureteral injury, although uncommon, can result in significant morbidity and medicolegal consequences, particularly during complex gynecologic procedures such as endometriosis excision and prolapse repair. Conventi…

OBJECTIVE: To show a complex fertility-sparing resection of stage IV endometriosis with the DaVinci Single-Port (SP) Robot system and to provide tips and tricks for surgical skill and efficiency when using this newer robot system for gyneco…

Study questionDoes intercornual distance (ICD), as reflected by intrauterine stent size during hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, have an association with reproductive outcomes and provide information for postoperative risk stratification in women…

In brief: Endometrial organoids are a powerful 3D in-vitro system to study reproductive function and disease; however, available models for quantitative analysis of organoids are still developing and have not been assessed for endometrial o…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Endometriosis was once thought to affect only reproductive-aged women. However, 2-5% of postmenopausal individuals remain affected. Guidance for this group is limited. This review outlines an updated approach to postmenop…

In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, diaphragmati…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of Robotic single-port single-incision laparoscopic surgery (RSP-SILS) for endometriosis management. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 50 adult women with end…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to assess the surgical outcomes and learning curve of robotic single-port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) for hysterectomy in benign gynecologic conditions. MATERIALS AND METH…

Endometriosis remains an under-researched disease with a wide range of symptoms. Endometriosis reduces a woman's quality of life and professional productivity, yet its exact causes, risk factors, and treatment have yet to be elucidated. Bod…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to explore the feasibility and safety of robotic single port vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RSP-vNOTES) hysterectomy when compared with traditional vaginal natural orifice translumina…

Endometriosis affects approximately 190 million females of reproductive age worldwide. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been recommended as the primary non-invasive diagnostic method for endometriosis. This study presents new female pel…
