Ovarian endometrioma cystectomy may compromise ovarian reserve through inadvertent excision of ovarian cortex. We compared inadvertent cortical removal between robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic cystectomy using digital patholog…
ObjectiveThe Korean government implemented national insurance coverage for infertility treatment in 2017 and established a nationwide infertility treatment data collection system in 2018. This report analyzes infertility treatment cycles pe…
BACKGROUND: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a tumor marker overexpressed in ovarian cancer and is commonly utilized to aid with diagnosis of an adnexal mass. HE4 levels vary based on pregnancy, age, menopausal status, and tobacco use. …
STUDY QUESTION: Do recent changes in European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) clinical guidelines result in more comprehensive diagnosis of women with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: The latest shift in clinical guideli…
ObjectiveWe aimed to determine whether ovarian-preserving surgery for adnexal torsion helps preserve ovarian function without increasing the risk of postoperative complications.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 71 women who were surgicall…
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…
The overexpression of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1β) in endometriotic lesion has been demonstrated. However, the role of HNF1β in endometriosis remains largely unknown. Human endometriotic 12Z cells showed higher level of HNF1β wh…
Accumulating evidence has suggested an interaction between endometriotic cells and macrophages in the endometriotic microenvironment and the potential role of this interaction in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, how endometriotic…
Despite evidence that leptin may play a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, the specific function of leptin in the migration and invasion of endometriotic cells is not well characterized. In this study, we investigated the effect of …
Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) occurs rarely and accounts for only 0.2% of all uterine malignancies. ESS usually expresses estrogen and progesterone receptors, and is regarded as hormone-sensitive. Due to the rarity of these tumors, ther…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the expression of leptin, leptin receptor (ObR), adiponectin, and adiponectin receptor (AdipoR) in ovarian endometriomas compared with normal endometrium, and to analyze relationships among adipokines and their receptor…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its soluble receptor (sFlt-1) in peritoneal fluid (PF), peritoneal endometriotic lesions and eutopic endometrial tissues of patients with e…
Leptin acts as a potential growth stimulator in several normal and neoplastic cells. Recent studies have shown the presence of increased levels of leptin in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis, implicating leptin in the path…
Objectives. To present our initial experiences with laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy performed using homemade transumbilical single-port system. Materials and Methods. We reviewed the medical records of one hundred patients wh…
