BACKGROUND: Hepatic cavernous hemangioma (CH) is the most common hepatic benign tumor. Most cases are solitary, asymptomatic, and found incidentally. In symptomatic cases with rapidly growing tumors and coagulopathy, surgical treatment is c…
AIM: The rate of oocyte decline follows a biphasic pattern, characterized by acceleration between 32 and 38 years old. Ovarian reserve is also affected by external factors, including ovarian disease and iatrogenic damage. The aim of this st…
UnlabelledBACKGROUND AND OBJECTS: To examine the learning curve of minimally invasive 2-port total laparoscopic myomectomy (TTLM).MethodsTTLM was performed by using only umbilicus and left inguinal ports, for 30 patients at our university a…
PurposeTo evaluate preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of bleeding and non-bleeding ectopic pregnancy (EP) by comparison with surgical findings.MethodsEighteen suspected EP cases underwent preoperative MR imaging. We class…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of complications arising during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in patients who have undergone previous abdominal surgeries and to assess predictable factors associated with complications based on…

The development and onset of endometriosis is associated with angiogenesis and angiogenic factors including cytokines. We analyzed intrapelvic conditions in women with endometriosis via vascular density assessment of grossly normal peritone…
PURPOSE: To assess outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) in infertile women with endometriosis with respect to their concomitant endometrioma status and surgical history in our department. METHODS: This is a retrospective case …
A pilot study was designed to analyze the vascular density of peritoneal endometriosis in 3 groups of lesions (red, black, and white) in 23 patients with peritoneal endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery using the narrow-band imag…
PROBLEM: We investigated inhibitory and activation motif expression of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) by natural killer (NK) cells, which may be pathogenetically involved in endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: We compared cells from…
MR imaging characteristics of adenomyosis were studied in nine women (five diffuse type, four focal type) who underwent hysterectomy. In all cases, MR images were correlated with surgical/pathologic findings. On T2-weighted images, diffuse …
Magnetic resonance (MR) images were obtained from 171 patients with benign and malignant neoplasms in the uterus and ovary, by using a low magnetic-field machine with 0.22 T, and its usefulness is discussed. Small uterine neoplasms (a few m…
