Objective: Microwave endometrial ablation is widely used instead of hysterectomy for menorrhagia. However, it can not be used for large myomas or deep adenomyosis. To treat myomas and adenomyosis, we developed a transcervical microwave abla…
AIM: We investigated microwave power and duration of use, which does not affect extrauterine organs, in order to treat organic menorrhagia caused by myomas or adenomyosis. METHODS: Electric fields around a microwave applicator at a frequenc…
Adenomyosis can cause severe menorrhagia, which is a common indicator of the need for hysterectomy. None of the ablative techniques developed over the last two decades are of use in treating menorrhagia in a uterus enlarged by deep adenomyo…
A curved microwave applicator was specifically developed for microwave endometrial ablation for the uterus with distorted cavity. The applicator was transcervically introduced to a uterine cavity of a surgical specimen with an intramural my…
The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were immunohistochemically examined in both pelvic and extrapelvic endometriotic lesions. Different expressions of VEGF and COX-2 were observed in both…
Twenty-five patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CC-Ca) were enrolled in this study, and tumor cell expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) was investigate…
