Objective: This study aimed to introduce clinical experience using a new surgical technique, single-port access laparoscopic fundusectomy, a more efficient uterus-sparing surgical method for adenomyosis in patients with no plans for pregnan…

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of performing laparoscopic hysterectomy using an articulating laparoscopic instrument that provides flexible and ergonomic movements similar to robotic systems and to demonstrate the sur…

ObjectiveWe aimed to introduce the clinical experience with a new surgical technique, single-port access laparoscopic fundusectomy, and a more efficient uterus-sparing surgical method for treating multiple fibroids in patients without a pre…

ObjectiveGeriatric patients requiring gynecological surgery is increasing worldwide. However, older patients are at higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, particularly cardiopulmonary complications. Laparoscopic surgery is wi…

The endometrium is a dynamic tissue that undergoes cyclic changes in response to ovarian hormones during the menstrual cycle. These changes are crucial for pregnancy establishment and maintenance. Endometrial stem cells play a pivotal role …

This report describes a woman with a rare primary squamous cell carcinoma of the ovary accompanied by transition of a mucinous borderline ovarian tumor. A woman in her late 40s was referred for abdominal discomfort, which worsened during de…

BACKGROUD AND AIM: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and cancer. However, its molecular pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to identify key genes invo…

Invasive cancers that arise from ductal structures can infiltrate and colonize pre-existing ducts in a process referred to as cancerization of ducts (COD). COD in cholangiocarcinoma is an under-studied process whose clinical significance re…

BackgroundAcupuncture and herbal medicine have been used as additional treatments for infertility or as an adjuvant treatment of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in infertility. Many systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MA) hav…

Objective To compare the levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-associated mRNAs and the clinical characteristics of patients with endometriosis or gynaecological cancer. Methods This prospective study obtained intraperitoneal fluid sa…

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of a pulmonary recruitment maneuver using lower airway pressure (30 cm H2O) and intraperitoneal bupivacaine, alone or in combination, for reducing shoulder pain after gynecologic laparoscopy.MethodsA prospec…

ObjectivesTo compare the surgical, pathological and oncological outcomes of single-port access (SPA) laparoscopy against laparotomy for large ovarian tumor (>15 cm) suspected to be a borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) on preoperative imaging.Me…

Ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma (Ov-CCA) has a higher prevalence in the Japanese ancestry than other populations. The ancestral disparities in Ov-CCA prevalence suggests the presence of Ov-CCA-specific genetic alterations and may provide …

ObjectiveThe objective of the study is to compare the intra- and post-operative outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) in mature cystic teratoma (MCT) of the ovary.MethodsWe revie…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze whole exome sequencing (WES) data on ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) in Korean patients via the technique of next generation sequencing (NGS). Genomic profiles were compared between endometriosis-associated OCCC (E…

BackgroundThis study examined the clinical effects of leuprolide acetate in sexual offenders with paraphilic disorders evaluated by means of objective psychiatric assessment.MethodsThe subjects of this study were seven sexual offenders who …

Extra pelvic endometriosis is considered to be rare. This paper reports a case of catamenial hemoptysis accompanied by subcutaneous endometriosis in 26-year-old woman. A computed tomography scan of the chest revealed a focal ground-glass op…

ObjectiveTo examine the effectiveness of proximal tube destruction at the uterine cornu by additional application of a sealing device.MethodsA single-center randomized trial was conducted on 40 patients receiving a laparo-endoscopic single-…

To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC cases and 40,941 controls. We identified nine new susceptib…

PurposeThe present study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in breast cancer patients between 13 and 18 months after surgery.MethodsThis study included 271 women who underwent surgery for bre…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In single-port laparoscopic hysterectomy(SP-LH), ligation of the uterine artery is a fundamental step. We analyzed the effectiveness and safety of 2 different surgical approaches to ligate the uterine artery in SP…

ObjectiveThe term 'total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with classical suture method' refers to a surgical procedure performed using only sutures and ligations with intracorporeal or extracorporeal ties, without using any laser or electron…

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: The authors investigated the expression patterns of interleukin (IL)-lβ and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, cytokines associated with peritoneal inflammatory reactions, and of B cell leukemia lymphoma (Bcl)-6 and B …

BACKGROUND: The classic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) feature of endometriomas is the shading sign, which is characterized by T2-shortening in ovarian cystic lesions that are hyperintense on T1-weighted images. The shading sign is infreq…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility of retroperitoneal hysterectomy by laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) and to suggest technical tips. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a prospective singl…
