Frontiers in surgery

INTRODUCTION: Surgery is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer treatment. Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is a novel, minimally invasive technique that is gaining interest in gynecological oncology. However…

This study introduces a novel "tunnel method" for single-position laparoscopic nephroureterectomy in women with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), enabling complete resection of the kidney and entire ureter while preserving th…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis affects ∼10% of women of reproductive age, often causing chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Conventional energy devices risk thermal injury and bleeding, particularly in fertility-preserving surgeries. The Cavi…

Laparoscopic surgery is the method of choice for numerous surgical procedures, while it confronts a lot of challenges. Computer vision exerts a vital role in addressing these challenges and has become a research hotspot, especially in the c…

INTRODUCTION: We present the case of a patient with recurrent bilateral hemothorax. After misdiagnosis despite several histological samples, a pleural manifestation of epithelioid angiosarcoma was diagnosed by further immunohistological sta…

INTRODUCTION: Faecal incontinence (FI) is a distressing and often stigmatizing condition characterised as the recurrent involuntary passage of liquid or solid faeces. The reported prevalence of FI exhibits considerable variation, ranging fr…

OBJECTIVE: Over the last two decades, the quantity of papers published in relation to robotic surgery in obstetrics and gynecology has continued to grow globally. However, no bibliometric analysis based on VOSviewer has been performed to ev…

OBJECTIVES: Iatrogenic ureteral injury is a severe surgical complication, with a highest incidence of 1.5% in gynecological surgeries. The purpose of this report is to document our initial experience with using methylene blue (MB) to label …

OBJECTIVES: The safety of cesarean myomectomy has been proven by previous studies. Our study aimed to reveal the long-term perinatal, obstetric, and surgical outcomes of cesarean myomectomy (CM) by comparing different CM techniques. MATERI…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Robotic approach in colorectal surgery is rapidly gaining interest, particularly in the context of rectal cancer resection. Despite economic barriers, substantial proliferation of robotic colorectal procedures has…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity, mainly affects the pelvic viscera and peritoneum. Endometriosis can also occur at sites of surgical incisions on the abdominal…

OBJECTIVE: Abnormal contraction of uterus and vascular smooth muscle lead to the formation of hypoxia environment in uterus. Abnormal contraction may be the basis of dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, infertility and other diseases. Phloroglucino…

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumour of the uterus in women of reproductive age. When removed surgically, a mini-invasive procedure is preferentially used (laparoscopic or robotic) and the extraction of the specimen can be man…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore how to improve the treatment, and prognosis of ovarian pregnancy (OP). PATIENTS: A total of 111 OP patients, one of the patients suffered from OP twice. RESULTS: In this study, 112 OP cases confirmed by postope…

Bochdalek hernias are the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernias, followed by Morgagni hernias. The failure of closure of the pleuroperitoneal membrane results in a posterolateral foramen, which can remain silent until adulthood. They…

OBJECTIVE: To introduce an effective approach using the hysteroscopy system for patients with old uterine false passage after a failed conservative treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study presents the case of a 34-year-old woman who w…

BACKGROUND: Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare type of spontaneous, recurring pneumothorax occurring in women, from the day before menstruation until 72 hours after its beginning. Conservative treatment is generally associated with recu…

Background and objectivesMagnetic anchor technique (MAT) is frequently used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, there are few reports on its clinical application in China. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical applic…

INTRODUCTION: To determine the clinical effects of laparoscopic surgery (LS) in the treatment of endometriosis and endometriosis-fertility. METHODS: Two hundred twenty-six patients with endometriosis who underwent LS (LS group, n = 176) or…

BACKGROUND: Endometrioid adenocarcinoma is usually diagnosed by endometrial curettage with a positive rate of 94%, while a hysteroscopic examination can increase the positive rate. Differently, endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from adeno…

BACKGROUND: Cystitis glandularis is a common bladder epithelial lesion characterized by hyperplasia and metaplasia of the bladder mucosa epithelium. The pathogenesis of cystitis glandularis of the intestinal type is unknown and less common.…

Leiomyoma of the fallopian tube is an extremely rare benign tumor of the fallopian tube. Because of the small number of cases, it is difficult to calculate their incidence. In this case report, we report a case of leiomyoma of the fallopian…
