Background/Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the effectiveness and safety of 4% icodextrin solution by detecting the incidence of adhesion-related morbidities (adhesion-related hospital readmission…

INTRODUCTION: Hysterectomy is a frequently employed treatment modality in gynaecological diseases. In the context of various approaches to vaginal hysterectomy, laparoscopically-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) could eventually improve …

Background/Objectives: Surgical removal of deep endometriosis lesions is an established method of reducing patient symptoms, but it often results in iatrogenic adhesions that lead to further problems. This pilot study presents the safety ev…

This study aims to summarize evidence from observational studies about the lifetime use of HC and the risk of BC in women of reproductive age. The PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE databases were searched for observational studies published from…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory oestrogen-dependent disease. It is characterised by elevated inflammatory markers in the peritoneal milieu with subsequent adhesiogenesis. Nowadays, excisional, and ablative surgeries are …

Contained electromechanical morcellation has emerged as a safety approach for laparoscopic myomatous tissue retrieval. This retrospective single-center analysis evaluated the bag deployment practicability and safety of electromechanical in-…

Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a common minimally invasive treatment of different uterine pathologies, such as fibroids, adenomyosis, and menorrhagia. The procedure involves the injection of embolic agents into the uterine arteries, w…

Minimally invasive interventions for myomata treatment have gained acceptance due to the possibility of preserving fertility with reduced trauma induced by laparotomy as way of entrance. There are insufficient data regarding outcomes of hig…

Postoperative adhesions represent a frequent complication of abdominal surgery. Adhesions can result from infection, ischemia, and foreign body reaction, but commonly develop after any surgical procedure. The morbidity caused by adhesions a…

Uterine adenomyosis (UA) has a significant negative impact on the individual's quality of life due to pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and subfertility.The impact on women's health and sexuality has never been underestimated by physicians, …

A technical video was produced to demonstrate in step-by-step fashion a multiple contained myomectomy of a 20 × 30 cm giant myoma and seven additional fibroids found in the same patient, which required two different types of specimen retrie…

Introduction: Plastic and reconstructive minimally invasive surgery has been established as gold standard in myomectomy. Therapy failure eventually leads to future surgical interventions or hysterectomy: surgeons and patients should be awar…

IntroductionThe development of peritoneal adhesions and the effects of different antiadhesion agents on such mechanisms are not fully understood. Temporary rises of the C-reactive protein (CRP) level have been reported after antiadhesion ag…

PurposeDeep ovarian endometriosis surgery is likely to be associated with diffuse bleeding, intraoperative ovarian tissue destruction and perioperative adhesion formation. A new surgical approach is hereby proposed to avoid the negative sho…

The peritoneal and intrauterine cavities are lined by fragile membranes with a high-wound healing capacity, e.g. repairing the endometrium in its cyclical "injury and scar-free repair process" during menstruation. However, peritoneal and in…

Vaginal agenesis is a congenital anomaly that affects the life of one of each four thousand women around the world. There is a trend that patients request immediate surgical correction, instead of passive vaginal dilatation. Therefore a dif…
