BackgroundThe uterus, a complex organ, performs crucial functions including fertilisation, embryonic implantation, and supporting fetal development. Infantile uterus, resembling a prepubescent girl's uterus, and uterine hypoplasia, characte…

Adenomyosis (AM) is a hormonally responsive uterine disorder defined by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, causing pain, abnormal bleeding, and subfertility. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)-including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-cod…

Abstract Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, predomi nantly, but not exclusively, in the pelvic compartment. It is an oestrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory condition that …

BackgroundThe advantages and disadvantages of Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery (RLS) compared to other minimally invasive surgical approaches are debated in the literature.ObjectiveTo evaluate the learning curves (LC) and their assessment metho…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Dual Wavelength Laser System (DWLS) diode laser on the treatment of ovarian endometrioma (OMA), with ablation and vaporization of the cystic capsule without performing the stripping tech…

Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the …

Introduction and hypothesisLateral suspension is an abdominal prosthetic surgical procedure used to correct apical prolapse. The procedure involves the placement of a T-shaped mesh on the anterior vaginal wall and on the isthmus or uterine …

The data from the literature show that women undergoing a LEEP due to CIN3 have a greater risk of having subsequent high-grade anogenital intraepithelial neoplasia or cancer, and the risk is greater for vaginal cancer than for anal and vulv…

Background and Objectives: Minimally invasive surgery, especially the single-site approach, has demonstrated several advantages in the gynaecological setting. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of single-site hystere…

Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) comprise 15-20% of primary ovarian neoplasms and represent an independent disease entity among epithelial ovarian cancers. The present study (Clinical Trial ID: NCT05791838) aimed to report a retrospective a…

BackgroundAbdominal minimally invasive surgery has become increasingly prominent for the treatment of prolapse. Abdominal sacral colpopexy (ASC) is the gold standard for the treatment of advanced apical prolapse; however, alternative surgic…

Laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS) refers to a spectrum of surgical techniques that allow the performance of laparoscopic surgery through consolidation of all ports into one surgical incision. LESS has emerged as a potentially less…

Endometriosis is one of the most common medical conditions affecting the women. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RAS) versus conventional laparoscopic surgery (LPS) in the treatme…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of infection after diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures performed in an in-office setting with different distension media (saline solution or CO2). DESIGN: Prospective, multicenter, o…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes, safety, and patient acceptance of single-port access laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (SPAL-SH) in comparison with conventional multiport access laparoscopic subto…

Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is widely recommended as part of a risk-reduction strategy for ovarian or breast cancer due to an underlying genetic predisposition. BSO is also performed as a t…

Background: Minimally invasive surgery has a central role in managing benign and malignant conditions in gynecology patients. While laparoscopy decreases morbidity directly related to the surgical approach, each working port used carries an…

This randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study compared the usefulness of danazol 400mg vaginally versus 600mg orally in women as a preoperative preparation for hysteroscopic surgery. Ninety-one fertile women were randomly allocate…
