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…
We report a case of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) developed during menstruation in an adenomyosis patient. No known predisposing factor for DIC such as infection or pregnancy was involved in this case. As anticoagulatio…
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…
We report that we found differences in changes in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in pleural effusion and ascites after removal of ovarian tumor complicated by Meigs' syndrome. Postoperative VEGF levels decreased in the pat…
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…
