OBJECTIVE: C-kit, E-cadherin and beta-catenin adhesion molecules and proto-oncogenes are thought to be associated with molecular mechanisms related to the invasion, implantation and persistence of ectopic endometrial cells. Comparing the ex…

OBJECTIVE: To compare follicular fluid (FF) cytokine and homocysteine profiles in women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), with and without sonographic endometrioma, and to explore potential inflammato…

OBJECTIVE: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is associated with lower postoperative pain, reduced analgesic requirements, and faster early postoperative recovery compared with laparoscopy in patients undergoin…

This paper presents a comprehensive cadaveric dissection atlas detailing the retroperitoneal anatomy essential to advanced pelvic surgery. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of anatomists, gynecologists, and gynecologic oncologists, the …

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the diagnostic utility of early postoperative renal ultrasound in detecting ureteral injury in patients who had undergone total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for benign indications, despite documented norma…

Advanced abdominal pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening condition associated with substantial maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, particularly when diagnosis is delayed beyond the first trimester. Owing to its rarity, there is s…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a benign condition driven by estrogen and inflammation in which endometrial-like tissue develops in ectopic locations. We aimed to determine whether non-steroidal agents acting on the WNT/beta-catenin signaling a…

Letrozole and other aromatase inhibitors are increasingly recognized as first-line ovulation induction (OI) medications, offering an efficient and physiologic approach to ovarian stimulation that enhances outcomes in reproductive medicine. …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether vulvar re-antisepsis before carbon dioxide (CO2) cystoscopy after laparoscopic hysterectomy is associated with a lower incidence of postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This pro…

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…

OBJECTIVE: It has been demonstrated that asprosin, a glucogenic adipokine released by white adipose tissue, contributes to the pathophysiology of cancer and disorders associated with it. The aim of this study was to compare the immunoreacti…

OBJECTIVE: Sexual function and quality of life are significantly reduced in endometriosis patients, particularly those with deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of endometriosis excisio…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the effects of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy on ovarian reserve according to different types of ovarian cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants who underwent surgical treatm…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy applied to cervical swab samples could detect meaningful biochemical differences between women diagnosed with endometriomas and healthy contro…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible ability of homocysteine (Hcy) levels in embryo culture media for estimating better invitro fertilization outcomes in endometriosis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nineteen women with endometriosis wh…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is associated with various symptoms, but their severity varies from case to case. In this study, we investigated the reality of symptoms presented by patients with clinically early-stage endometriosis-associated ova…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgical approaches for treating symptomatic isthmocele and identify their associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-six patients with symptomatic isthmo…

Endometriosis is a common condition among women and can cause complications such as abdominal pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. One of the potential causes of this disease is autoimmunity. However, evidence regarding the role of autoimmu…

Endometriosis is a prevalent condition in women that causes pelvic pain and fertility issues due to the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus during menstrual cycles. Steroid hormones play a crucial role in the development and gro…

OBJECTIVE: The cause of implantation defects in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has not been clearly established. We aimed to evaluate the immunohistochemical changes in HOXA-11, β1 inte…

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-surgical and noninvasive treatment modality that depends on external ultrasound energy sources that induce focused mass ablation and protein degeneration in the treatment area via thermal en…

OBJECTIVE: Hydrosalpinx impairs the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer. Various surgical approaches, such as fluid aspiration or isolation of the affected fallopian tubes, have been used to enhance the outcome. This stu…

OBJECTIVE: The most common indications for Levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) are contraception and management of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the differences in the clinical …

OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is a chronic inflammatory illness that depends on estrogen. In addition to its immune regulatory effects in chronic diseases, vitamin D also plays roles in regulating normal cell growth. In the present study, the purp…
