Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy

ObjectivesThis study aimed to compare the efficacy of rectal misoprostol combined with intramyometrial normal saline versus intramyometrial vasopressin in reducing blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy.Materials and methodsThis was a ra…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Diagnosis has traditionally been challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and reliance on invasive…

ObjectivesAuthors evaluated the surgical outcomes of the "cold scissors" technique, focusing on minimal myotomy, during laparoscopic intracapsular myomectomies. The primary endpoints included the initial and final lengths of the uterine inc…

OBJECTIVES: Deep endometriosis (DE) is a common disease in 15%-45% of childbearing-age women. Combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) and dienogest have been used for decades to treat many forms of endometriosis after laparoscopy surgery. T…

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of a simplified intra-ureteral indocyanine green (ICG) injection technique performed by gynecologists during complex laparoscopic surgeries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective…

Ultrasound-guided transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy belongs to one of the minimally invasive methods for endometrioma management. Nevertheless, some reports suggested a possible link between the method and the presence of pelvic adhesions.…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the treatment failure rates in patients with adenomyosis who underwent transcervical resection of the endometrium (TCRE) and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) insertion versus those with LNG-IUD insertion a…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the underlying risk factors, clinical value, usefulness, and outcome of laparoscopic management of urinary tract injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study including 25 patients of a case of ur…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate postoperative remission of endometriotic-related pain in patients who underwent laparoscopic adenomyomectomy on patients with adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty-eight cases of …

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intratumoral ethanol injection followed by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for hyperintense uterine fibroids on T2-weighted magnetic resonance images …

ObjectivesWith the recent spread of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) and the rising rate of cesarean sections (CSs), increasing number of patients with a previous CS are undergoing total LH (TLH). Here, we retrospectively compared the surgica…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the synergistic efficacy and safety of focused ultrasound ablation therapy (FUAS) combined with thermal balloon endometrial ablation (TBEA) in treating adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METH…

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) combined with lauromacrogol sclerotherapy in preserving ovarian reserve and reducing pain in patients with ovarian endometriotic cysts (OECs). M…

ObjectivesThe objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) in treating uterine myoma and adenomyosis.Materials and methodsTwenty premenopausal women aged 30-45 years, diagnosed with symptomatic uterin…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of microwave ablation (MWA) in treating uterine myoma and adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty premenopausal women aged 30-45 years, diagnosed with symptomatic …

Minimally invasive thermal ablation therapies, including microwave ablation (MWA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA), have emerged as effective alternatives to traditional surgical approaches for the management of symptomatic uterine fibroid…

Utero-cutaneous fistula (UCF) is a rare complication after a cesarean section which is mostly managed surgically. There is only one reported case of laparoscopic management of UCF. Our patient, a para one lady, presented after cesarean sect…
