This is the first known case report of severe intrauterine adhesion (IUA) following a life-threatening event caused by an Epstein-Barr virus-associated atraumatic spleen laceration. A 22-year-old nulligravid female suffered from infectious …

AIM: To determine the incidence of cervical cancer in women referred through the 2-week-wait pathway for postcoital bleeding and abnormal appearance of the cervix. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of women with postcoita…

AIM: To explore whether sequential embryo transfer benefits patients with repeated implantation failure (RIF) undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS: We included 311 patients with a history of RIF in this retrospect…

BACKGROUND: To systematically review and summarize the available literature regarding the women's sexual function during COVID-19 pandemic and compare it to pre-pandemic period. METHODS: We searched PubMed and Embase from the inception of …

AIM: We compared the effectiveness of the Babu and Magon uterine closure technique and unlocked double-layer uterine closure on the integrity and thickness of the uterine scar. METHODS: A randomized double-blind trial was performed at Hazr…

AIM: Prior research has primarily focused on static pain assessment, largely ignoring the dynamic nature of pain over time. We used a novel assessment tool for characterizing pain duration, frequency, and amplitude in women with dysmenorrhe…

Fine-tuning of the endometrium during the evanescent 'window of implantation' relies upon an array of diverse and redundant signaling molecules, particularly the ovarian steroids E2 and P4, but also growth factors, eicosanoids, and vitamins…

AIM: To explore the clinical effect of endometrial injury (EI) on the third day of the menstrual cycle before frozen-thawed embryo transfer (frozen-thawed ET) on patients experienced two or more implantation failures. METHODS: A total of 2…

OBJECTIVE: To compare signs and symptoms between patients with recurrent ectopic pregnancies (REP) and primary ectopic pregnancies (PEP) and to identify potential risk factors of REP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 2014 to 2016 were anal…

Uterine cervical diverticulum is a very rare malformation. Affected patients are reported to have infertility issues and problems during the perinatal period. A 32-year-old nulliparous woman visited another obstetrics and gynecology hospita…

AIM: By evaluating operative outcomes relative to cost, we compared the value of minimally invasive hysterectomy approaches, including a technique discussed less often in the literature, laparoscopic retroperitoneal hysterectomy (LRH), whic…

Arrested caudal extension of the fused Müllerian ducts, either complete or segmental, causes obstruction of the outflow tract. We describe a case of agenesis of the uterine isthmus and the procedure to establish the continuity of the outflo…

AIM: This study assesses a clinical potential of immediate early responsive gene X-1 (IEX-1), also named IER3, in the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma using blood and salivary specimens. METHODS: Immediate early responsive gene X-…

AIM: To investigate the differences in leiomyoma pathophysiology by patient age at the time of surgery and the possible significance of postmenopausal uterine leiomyomas, particularly variants. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed data fro…

AIM: The proper preoperative diagnosis and management of cervical proliferative disorders presenting with multiple cysts, including minimal deviation adenocarcinoma (MDA), lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH), and nabothian cys…

Ovarian tumors comprise a wide variety of entities. The largest group, epithelial ovarian carcinoma, can be classified into two main groups, type I and type II tumors. Recent advances in the understanding of ovarian cancer development have …

AIM: We sought to investigate protein biomarkers for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in vaginal tissues using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) and examine if this is a reliable m…

Tubal choriocarcinoma is an extremely rare condition and can be of gestational or non-gestational origin. The appropriate management of choriocarcinoma begins with the categorization of the tumor. However, it is difficult to discriminate th…

Cases of cancer presenting with microscopically confirmed metastatic malignancies for which no primary site can be detected are a challenge to stage clinically. Adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site is a subtype with high frequency that ha…
