STUDY OBJECTIVE: Experience with low-dose intermittent danazol or prolonged gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) with and without add-back therapy in endometriosis-associated ureteral obstruction. DESIGN: Retrospective case seri…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although uterine stenting is performed routinely following hysteroscopic metroplasty, we were unable to find any evidence documenting its value with regards to septum reformation and/or obstetrical performance. To…
Granulosa cells are components of the sex cord-stromal cells in the ovary responsible for steroidogenesis. Uncommonly, extraovarian granulosa cells have been reported to be associated with malignant processes of the ovary. We report a uniqu…
