Introduction: Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is a rare inflammatory disease of the gallbladder (GB). XGC surgery is a difficult process due to its clinical, radiological, and intraoperative findings. In this study, our aim is to sh…

Objective: To compare perioperative outcomes of robotic single-site (RSS) surgery with conventional single-port laparoendoscopic surgery for the treatment of advanced-stage endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohor…

INTRODUCTION: Intestinal involvement in endometriosis was first described by Sampson in 1922. The reported incidence ranges between 3% and 37% in patients diagnosed with endometriosis. In literature, there are few studies that correlate the…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Bladder involvement is rare in endometriosis. The prevalence is estimated to be ∼1% in patients with endometriosis. However, this figure seems to be an underestimation. The diagnosis of bladder endometriosis might be missed…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess etiopathogenesis of ureteral mid/lower benign strictures and outcomes of various methods of laparoscopic reconstruction and repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of…

PURPOSE: To share the surgical technique that possesses the advantage of a perioperative ureteroscope without position change, which allows for a laparoscopic segmental resection of the ureteral stricture to be performed more precisely. PA…

Endometriosis occurs in 5%-10% of fertile women, usually in the pelvic region, such as the ovaries, uterine ligaments, pelvic peritoneum, and rectovaginal septum. A mesenteric endometriotic cyst is an exceptional observation and difficult t…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of radical excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the cul-de-sac. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This study included 390 patients with pathologic…

PURPOSE: Deep infiltrating endometriosis with colorectal involvement is a complex disorder, often requiring segmental bowel resection. Complete removal of all visible lesions is considered the adequate treatment of infiltrating endometriosi…

INTRODUCTION: A retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (RN) for symptomatic hydronephrosis (SH) is a challenging procedure because of the limited working space. This report describes a specific technical modification for efficient and successful …

Robotic-assisted ureteral reimplantations were performed on 3 patients at a single institution, 2 with Boari flap and psoas hitch and 1 with psoas hitch alone. These were for urothelial carcinoma of the distal ureter, ureteral obstruction c…

Endometriosis is common in women of childbearing age, while severe intestinal endometriosis requiring bowel resection is relatively rare. Intestinal endometriosis has recently been managed laparoscopically. We report the case of a 38-year-o…

BACKGROUND: A novel approach in combined laparoscopic and vaginal procedures through the posterior cul-de-sac for subtotal hysterectomy is introduced. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one women with menometrorrhagia, symptomatic adenomyosis, or…

Intestinal endometriosis is an uncommon clinical entity that is rarely seen by general surgeons. It traditionally requires laparoscopy for diagnosis and an open laparotomy procedure for the treatment. Herein, we report a rare case of coloni…
