STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying adhesions between pelvic organs caused by endometriosis, comparing MRI findings to those obtained by laparoscopy. DESIGN: Pros…
OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis-related infertility is increasingly being diagnosed, and surgical intervention has been suggested to improve fertility. Elastography, a noninvasive ultrasound technique, is promising for diagnosing and guiding the res…
BackgroundRobotic simple hysterectomy (RSH) is the most common robotic gynecologic surgery in the United States. Uterine manipulators are commonly used to handle the uterus during laparoscopic surgery, but few studies have examined their ne…
PROBLEM: What is the effect of SR-16234 (SR), a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator, on human endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs)? METHOD OF STUDY: Endometriotic tissues were obtained from 21 patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery …
BackgroundEndometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy; however, there is no useful blood diagnostic biomarker. This study aimed to determine the utility of tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI2), a biomarker of ovarian…
PURPOSE: To test the theory that invaginated ovarian surface epithelium and endometrial implants on the ovary form ovarian endometriomas. METHODS: Adhesion sites of ovarian endometrioma on the peritoneum and consecutive ovarian endometriom…
BackgroundEndometrial cancer (EC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death among women and early detection is crucial for its successful treatment. We previously showed that cytological examination combined with genetic analysis using l…
Ovarian abscess is thought to be caused by ascending infection. We experienced a case with ovarian abscess caused by Salmonella. The patient had been monitored for endometrial cysts at an outpatient clinic. She visited our hospital emergent…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of two progestins, levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and dienogest (DNG), for adenomyosis. METHODS: = 81) groups as a controlled clinical trial for 72 months. Participants were classified by thre…

We have developed a deep learning-based approach to improve image quality of single-shot turbo spin-echo (SSTSE) images of female pelvis. We aimed to compare the deep learning-based single-shot turbo spin-echo (DL-SSTSE) images of female pe…
Detecting adenomyosis in the myometrium is a challenge since it is infiltrative with ill-defined margins and can be often confused with uterine fibroids. However, recent advances, such as ultrasound elastography, have enabled its detection …
Abstract Background Endometriosis can potentially lead to the development of a malignant tumor. Most malignant tumors arising from the endometriosis originate from the ovarian endometrioma, whereas those arising from extragonadal lesions ar…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is the most severe form of endometriosis. It causes chronic pelvic pain, severe dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, dyschezia, and dysuria, markedly impairing the quality of life of women of reproductive ag…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of dienogest (DNG) in preventing the occurrence of pain and endometriomas after laparoscopic resection of uterosacral ligaments (USLs) with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).Study designThis retrospective…
INTRODUCTION: Total laparoscopic hysterectomy has been reported as having a higher incidence of vaginal cuff dehiscence compared with the abdominal and/or vaginal hysterectomy. The cause of vaginal cuff dehiscence after total laparoscopic h…
We have established an enzyme immunoassay for placental protein 4 (PP4), by using avidin-biotin binding reaction, and set its normal range below 10.9 ng/ml (mean + 2 sigma). Throughout the menstrual cycle, the serum PP4 profile was similar …
Two murine monoclonal antibodies designated 130-22 and 145-9 have been recently established by immunizing mice with a pulmonary carcinoma cell line (PC-9). With use of these monoclonal antibodies a sensitive sandwich immunoradiometric assay…
