PURPOSE: To establish if preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) at the blastocyst stage improves the composite outcome of live birth rate and ongoing pregnancy rate per embryo transfer compared to conventional morphological …

Age-related fertility decline (ARFD) is a prevalent concern amongst western cultures due to the increasing age of first-time motherhood. Elective oocyte and embryo cryopreservation remain the most established methods of fertility preservati…

INTRODUCTION: The lifetime risk of women undergoing surgery for the presence of benign ovarian pathology in the UK is 5%-10%. Despite minimally invasive surgical techniques, evidence suggests a number of healthy ovarian follicles and tissue…

A number of benign and malignant gynaecological conditions can cause infertility. Advancements in assisted reproductive technologies have facilitated the rapidly evolving subspecialty of fertility preservation. Regardless of clinical indica…

KEY CONTENT: Following the diagnosis of absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI), women may experience considerable psychological harm as a result of a loss of reproductive function and the realisation of permanent and irreversible infert…

INTRODUCTION: The relationship between endometrioma and ovarian cancer is a topic of discussion in the field of endometriosis and to date it is still debated whether ovarian endometriosis may represent a risk factor for ovarian cancers. EV…

Vaginal ovarian cystectomy has not gained wide acceptance owing to the potential difficulty in entering the cul-de-sac. We review the current evidence on vaginal approaches to benign ovarian cysts. Outcome measures of interest included time…

AIM: Since the first natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery procedure, renewed interest has arisen in further developing and advancing minimal access surgery. We introduce a natural orifice endoscopic approach for a bilateral salpi…
