BACKGROUND: Advanced hemostatic devices (AHDs) are widely utilized in gynecologic minimally invasive surgeries. These AHDs control ultrasonic or bipolar electric/thermal energy with a feedback mechanism and effectively seal vessels without …

This study aimed to review the surgical outcomes of supracervical hysterectomy using the da Vinci SP® surgical system and conventional single-site laparoscopic surgery for uterine fibroids. This study included 79 patients who underwent supr…

BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) have been shown to be reliable markers of ovarian reserve. This study aimed to compare baseline serum AMH levels and well-controlled clinical factors betwee…

Laparoscopic surgery has evolved with technological advances in many aspects and increasing demand for its benefits in cosmetics, fast recovery, reduced complication rates and pain. However, it still possesses drawbacks such as limited surg…

Ovarian atypical endometriosis (AE) is a premalignant lesion, and its potential to progress to endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer emphasizes its significance. However, the true risk of malignancy in AE remains unclear. Therefore, this …

BACKGROUND/AIM: Short-term feasibility and safety of single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) compared with conventional multi-port TLH have been previously demonstrated. However, recent studies are insufficient. This study aimed t…

Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (sAMH) is a useful marker of ovarian reserve. In many patients, the sAMH levels gradually recover after falling to the lowest level after surgery (nadir phenomenon). This study aimed to analyze the factors relat…

BACGROUND: Cervical stenoses are one of the main long-term consequences after conization of the uterine cervix. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a uterine cervix supporting device (Con-CapTM) …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the preoperative hematological parameters to predict ovarian torsion in patients with ovarian mature cystic teratoma. We also analyzed the diagnostic value of these makers to predict ova…

BACKGROUND: Primary ovarian high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a very rare disease. Even though it has poor prognosis, the gold standard treatment has not been established owing to its rarity. This report aimed to present therapeutic…

To compare the genetic distributions of 14G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between women with and without uterine adenomyosis. The study population comprised 69 Korean women. Uterine tissues from …

Recently, tumor budding (TB) found at the invasive margin has been related to lymph node involvement (LNI), local recurrence, and poor prognosis in various cancers. We assessed the presence of TB in endometrial endometrioid carcinoma (EEC),…

INTRODUCTION: Single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) has not been widely used because of its technical difficulty and steep learning curve, especially the laparoscopic suturing of the vaginal stump. Barbed suturing is a new techn…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To determine the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic or robotic adenomyomectomy with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) for the treatment of severely symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: Between August 2008 and M…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate single-port assisted extracorporeal cystectomy for treatment of large ovarian cysts and to compare its surgical outcomes, complications, and cystic content spillage rates with those of conventional laparoscopy a…

Indirect inguinal hernia containing an ovary is a rare condition, especially in adult women who do not have any other genital tract anomalies. In addition, inguinal hernia containing an ovary and endometriosis is exceedingly rare. In the pr…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of radical excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the cul-de-sac. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 390 patients with pathologi…

We report a case of a cystic adenomyoma in a 19-year-old nullipara who presented with severe dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed a 3-cm well-circumscribed mass with a 2.1-cm cystic cavity in the myom…

This study was conducted to report 10 cases of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome (FHCS) diagnosed with CT and 101 cases of FHCS-like lesion that suggested perihepatitis during laparoscopic surgery. We reviewed retrospectively the images of 3,674 la…

Objective: Our aim was to present our experience on laparoscopic colorectal resection with tranvaginal or transanal extraction for severe endometriosis. Methods: Between August 2005 and May 2009, laparoscopic colorectal resection was perfor…

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the level of Inca serum CA-125 of women with gynecologic diseases, including malignant diseases, and to assess the usefulness of these levels in the diagnosis and screening for gynecologic d…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the clinical effect of nonperitonization and laparoscopic lymphadenectomy using bipolar electrocautery after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer compared with peritonization and open lymphadenectomy using monop…

The study analyzes factors that affect vaginal hysterectomy to establish the indications of a vaginal approach to benign uterine disease. In a retrospective study, 174 patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy for uterine leiomyomas or adenom…
