Although the removal of the adnexa technically removes more tissue, it may require less fine manipulation and dissection than cystectomy. Secondary to this, we sought to measure the effectiveness and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site s…

ObjectiveVaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) combines vaginal surgery with single-port laparoscopy, providing a minimally invasive technique designed to overcome the challenges in traditional vaginal surgery. Se…

INTRODUCTION: This is a rare case of a 25-cm endometrioma in a woman who presented in a hypertensive emergency. The hypertension was believed to be secondary to the mass effect of the endometrioma on renal vasculature. METHODS: A 20-year-ol…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition in women of reproductive age and has variable symptomology such as pelvic pain, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. Endometriomas are a form of endometriosis and are cha…

ObjectiveBecause vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery and laparoscopic hysterectomy techniques both aim to decrease tissue injury and postoperative morbidity and mortality and to improve a patient's quality of life, we so…

ObjectiveRoutine hysteroscopic evaluation before assisted reproductive technology treatment is a novel approach with the potential to reduce assisted reproductive technology failure even in the absence of evidence of uterine pathology. Foll…

ObjectiveTo determine the incidence of isthmocele, its effect on residual myometrial thickness (RMT), and other complications of Cesarean delivery (CD) in relation to single- and double-layer CD closure. We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of S…

ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to assess the perioperative outcomes when prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is performed concomitantly with surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinenc…

In the field of minimally invasive surgery, there is a constant drive to devise and execute the most minimally invasive surgeries possible. By the very nature of laparoscopy and robotic surgery, what one can accomplish with several ports of…

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare, life-threatening condition that requires high clinical suspicion for diagnosis. Most cases are discovered after complications have occurred. Many authors have described laparoscopic management. Although pre…

To assess the efficacy of all forms of ropivacaine administration for the management of pain and opioid use, specifically in patients undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. We searched PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and SCOPUS for…

BACKGROUND: While widely used for the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, limited data exists on efficacy of gabapentin, especially in the subgroup of women suffering from chronic pelvic pain without a known diagnosis, such as endometriosis. …

ObjectiveThis meta-analysis aimed to compare the effect of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) with endometrial ablation (EA) in terms of general and menstrual-related quality of life in women opting for surgical treatment for abn…

ObjectiveDespite limited data, acetaminophen, along with other agents, is commonly included in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols following laparoscopic hysterectomy. We aimed to systematically review the efficacy of acetamino…

A short review of the uncomfortable scenario of a negative laparoscopy when expecting endometriosis, adhesive disease or other pathology. The article reviews different commonly used but rarely documented strategies for ameliorating pelvic p…

In the field of minimally invasive surgery, there is constant drive to devise and execute the most minimally invasive surgeries possible. By the very nature of laparoscopy and robotic surgery, what one can accomplish with several ports of a…

ObjectiveGuidelines for referring women with pelvic masses suspicious for ovarian cancer to gynecologic oncologists have been developed by the American College of Obstetrician Gynecologists (ACOG). We set out to evaluate the negative predic…
