AIM: This study aimed to compare introduced robotic-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) and skilled total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for the treatment of benign gynecological diseases. METHODS: Patients who underwent RAH or TLH by two surgeon…

More than 10 years following the publication of "The General Rules for Clinical Management of Endometriosis: The second edition" in January 2010, the long-awaited third edition has arrived. The second edition represents the bible for endome…

Uterine adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent tumor and one of the most common benign diseases in sexually mature women. The frequency of endometrial cancer associated with adenomyosis has been reported to be 18%–66%. On the other hand, endo…

Uterine adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent tumor and one of the most common benign diseases in sexually mature women. The frequency of endometrial cancer associated with adenomyosis has been reported to be 18%-66%. On the other hand, endo…

BACKGROUND: Reproductive-age women occasionally face the pathological condition of adenomyosis, which is often concurrent with endometriosis. It is believed that endometriosis and adenomyosis increases the risk of obstetric complications. A…

Abstract Background Endometriosis has been accepted as an estrogen-dependent disease for more than two decades. So far, estrogen modulators that targeting estrogen depletion in endometriotic lesions have been expected as the first option of…

We report a case of robot-assisted total hysterectomy in a patient with extremely rare pelvic anatomy. Robot-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed for lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia on the left side of the uteru…

The pathogenesis of endometriosis has not been fully elucidated. We focused on the behavior of the ectopic endometrium, that is, the origin of the endometriotic lesion, before adhering to the peritoneal cavity. To observe lesion formation i…

Endometriosis, which exhibits enigmatic pathological features such as stromal fibrosis and proliferation of ectopic epithelial cells, is known as a refractory disease. Mesenchymal stem cells modulate the fibrosis in stromal tissues through …

Accessory and Cavitated Uterine Mass (ACUM) is a condition defined by the presence of a non-communicating uterine mass close to the insertion of the round ligament. ACUM is a rare Müllerian anomaly found in young women and is diagnosed by t…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of two progestins, levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and dienogest (DNG), for adenomyosis. METHODS: This study enrolled 157 women with adenomyosis, randomized to either LNG-IUS (n = 76) or DNG (…

A low dose of dienogest (DNG) 1 mg/day is useful for treating dysmenorrhea in young women. However, the effect of DNG on bone turnover during bone growth and formation, rather than at maturity, is currently unknown even at low doses. We inv…

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, and the role of estrogen is obvious because the symptoms associated with endometriosis often disappear after menopause, and GnRH agonists or progestin relieve the pelvic l…

AIM: We aimed to describe the clinical presentation, operative or medical management, and postoperative recurrence of bladder endometriosis (BE). METHODS: We conducted a national survey to investigate BE cases from 2006 to 2016 in Japan. H…

Purpose: To verify the efficacy of the endometriosis fertility index (EFI) for predicting spontaneous pregnancy after surgery for endometriosis.

Abstract Endometriosis, which exhibits enigmatic pathological features such as stromal fibrosis and proliferation of ectopic epithelial cells, is known as a refractory disease. Mesenchymal stem cells modulate the fibrosis in stromal tissues…

Endometriosis results from the aberrant growth of endometrium outside the inner lining of the uterine cavity. Similar to humans, the primates also menstruate and hence, the primate models constitute the gold standard for studying the pathog…

AIM: Endometriosis mostly affects the ovary but can also be present outside of the ovary including the pelvic peritoneum, intestine, urinary tract and lung. In case of ovarian endometriotic cyst, an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especia…

The aim of this publication is to disseminate the clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of intestinal, bladder/ureteral, thoracic and umbilical endometriosis, already published in Japanese, to non-Japanese speakers. For developing …

AIM: Tokishakuyakusan (TSS) is representative of popular Kampo medicines for Japanese women to treat dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation and menopause. Current hormonal treatments and low-dose oral contraceptives (OCs) used as a first-choi…

Abstract BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease, and the role of estrogen is obvious because the symptoms associated with endometriosis often disappear after menopause, and GnRH agonists or progestin reliev…
