STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show feasibility and techniques used to perform a total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, endometriosis resection, and ovarian reconstruction in a patient with a frozen pelvis secondary to a history of ruptured tubo…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show feasibility and short-term outcomes of robot-assisted vaginal NOTES (RvNOTES) for the treatment of stage IV endometriosis during total hysterectomy with/without complete cul-de-sac obliteration. DESIGN: Retrospecti…

Laparoscopy has advanced over the last three decades with residency training programs focusing on trans-abdominal laparoscopic techniques whether conventional or robotic. Despite attempts over many years to adopt vaginal surgery as the pref…

Objective: To explore the feasibility and surgical outcomes of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) for women suffering from gynecologic disease. Design: Large retrospective case series. Set…

Tumor biomarkers, the substances which are produced by tumors or the body's responses to tumors during tumorigenesis and progression, have been demonstrated to possess critical and encouraging value in screening and early diagnosis, prognos…

Background: Adenomyosis is a hormone-dependent benign gynecological disease characterized by the invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. Women with adenomyosis can suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding, severe pelvic pain, and subf…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) in the treatment of female infertility.Materials and methodsThis study includes 174 female patients with a history of long…

BackgroundPremature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an important cause of infertility characterized by the functional decline of the ovary. Granulosa cells (GCs) around oocytes are critical for folliculogenesis, and GC dysfunction is one of …

Endometriosis is linked to increased infertility and pregnancy complications due to defective endometrial decidualization. We hypothesized that identification of altered signaling pathways during decidualization could identify the underlyin…

It is hypothesized that impaired endometrial decidualization contributes to decreased fertility in individuals with endometriosis. To identify the molecular defects that underpin defective decidualization in endometriosis, we subjected endo…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the use of indocyanine green (ICG) in highlighting ureteral anatomical landmarks for the successful and safe execution of robotic-assisted transvaginal NOTES hysterectomy with resection of deeply infiltrated endo…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate tips and tricks for the successful execution of robotic-assisted resection of a large bladder trigone endometriosis nodule while preserving the ureters. DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration with narrated video foo…

Abstract Background: Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disorder but has detrimental effect on female fertility of childbearing age. Melatonin is a classic antioxidant and free radical scavenger to protect against tissue damage, and exer…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease which seriously impacts female fertility and is increasing in incidence in women of childbearing age. Melatonin has beneficial effects on reproductive processes. However, its impact …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory reproductive disease. Therefore, systematic estrogen depletion and anti-inflammatory drugs are the current treatment for endometriosis. However, current endometriosis treatment…

Study objectiveTo demonstrate safe identification of ureters in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis or severe adhesive disease using indocyanine green (ICG) under near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) on the robotic platform.DesignSte…

OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel, minimally invasive technique for performing myomectomy, a fertility-sparing procedure. DESIGN: This technique was developed based on similar techniques for other surgeries that showed a benefit. Liu et al. (…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting reproductive age females and an important cause of infertility. Although the etiology is complex and its pathogenesis remains unclear, the pathologic…

Diabetic wound is one of the most severe complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Despite the associated risks of wound healing impairment in diabetes, treatment strategies remain limited. Yeliangen (YLG) is a Chinese formulation mainly com…

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of simple high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation for placenta increta.MethodsNinety-five patients after a vaginal delivery were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study, 53 patients were tre…

To evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating stage I-IV endometriosis patients with robotic single-site surgery (RSSS). A retrospective chart review was conducted on 334 patients with endometriosis treated by a single surgeon at a uni…

We aimed to identify the amount of opioids used in the postoperative setting for patients with a history of chronic pelvic pain undergoing robotic surgical excision of endometriosis and compare this to patients undergoing benign robotic gyn…

Study objectiveTo describe the surgical techniques and short-term outcomes for 33 cases of robot-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RvNOTES) to treat endometriosis.DesignRetrospective case series study.Se…
