BackgroundTo evaluate the association between seasonal temperature variations and clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF), aiming to provide theoretical foundations for optimizing protocol timing in reproductive medicine.MethodsTh…

Background and Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the efficient use of advanced energy devices by examining the impact of their usage frequency on surgical outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomies. Materials and Meth…

OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is associated with female infertility worldwide. With improvements in imaging methods, such as pelvic magnetic resonance imaging, the diagnosis and treatment of adenomyosis have changed. This study aimed to evaluate t…

Background: We aimed to investigate the reduced-port (RP) robotic surgery as an alternative to the single-port (SP) robotic surgery by first comparing the surgical outcomes between the two groups. Methods: A total of 184 patients who underw…

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Unicenta in female subjects with menopausal symptoms by analyzing the changes in the Kupperman index (primary endpoint) and hormonal changes (secondary endpoint). It was a rand…

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) and single-port robotic surgery (SPRS).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent a hysterectomy, ovarian cystecto…

Hormonal contraception has been widely prescribed for decades. Although safety and efficacy are well-established, much uncertainty remains regarding brain effects of hormonal contraception. We systematically review human and animal studies …

Since its introduction, laparoscopic surgery has been often preferred over open surgery in obstetrics and gynecology due to its advantages, such as less bleeding, lower incidence of adhesions, reduced postoperative pain, short hospital stay…

IntroductionAdvanced age is one of the primary risk factors for infertility. Poor ovarian response (POR) to exogenous gonadotropin is a prominent characteristic of advanced-age women undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IV…

Hysterectomy remains a frequent gynecologic surgery, although its rates have been decreasing. The aim of this study was to investigate whether socioeconomic status affected the risk of hysterectomy in Korean women. This prospective cohort s…

OBJECTIVE: To introduce our novel technique for myometrial defect closure after adenomyomectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study. A total of 40 patients with adenomyosis who visited our clinic between October 2012 and J…

Few studies have focused on clinical courses or viral loads in young asymptomatic or mild patients with COVID-19 infection. We sought to better understand the clinical course and association between viral load and prevalence of pneumonia in…

OBJECTIVE: In this video, we present our novel technique for myometrial defect closure following robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy. METHODS: A narrated video demonstration of our technique. Our patient was a 47-year-old single wom…

Fertility preservation is an emerging discipline, which is of substantial clinical value in the care of young patients with cancer. Chemotherapy and radiation may induce ovarian damage in prepubertal girls and young women. Although many stu…

ObjectiveBoost radiation using brachytherapy (BT) is a standard treatment for local disease control in concomitant chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) for advanced cervical cancer. However, it is associated with gastrointestinal and genitourinary…

Uterine leiomyomas are one of the most common benign gynecologic tumors, but the exact causes are not completely understood. In 2011, through DNA sequencing, MED12 mutation was discovered in approximately 71% of uterine leiomyomas. Several …

Endometriosis is one of the most common diseases in reproductive ages, and it affects patients' quality of life and fertility. However, few Korean guidelines are available for the evaluation and management of endometriosis. Korean Society o…

This study aimed to assess whether dienogest (DNG) is also effective in patients with recurrent endometriosis based on multicenter data of 121 women who were clinically diagnosed as having recurrent endometriosis and treated for more than 2…

OBJECTIVE: We compared the expression levels of Müllerian inhibiting substance (MIS)/anti-Müllerian hormone type II receptor (AMHRII) in uterine myoma and adenomyosis to evaluate the possibility of using MIS/anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as …

A uterocutaneous fistula is rarely reported clinical condition after uterine procedures. Many diagnostic and management strategies are being suggested. In this case report, uterocutaneous fistula after pelviscopic myomectomy was diagnosed s…

Dienogest (DNG) is a progestin with highly selective progesterone activity and minimal androgenic activity and is helpful in reducing endometriosis-related pain. This study assessed the long-term efficacy and safety and recurrence rate of e…

The present study focused on the degree of tissue injury following single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) and multiport laparoscopic surgery (MPLS) for the treatment of various benign gynecologic diseases. A total of 228 patients were pros…

BACKGROUND AND AIM: NK cells are one of the major immune cells in endometriosis pathogenesis. While previous clinical studies have shown that helixor A to be an effective treatment for endometriosis, little is known about its mechanism of a…
