INTRODUCTION Within the myometrium, the ectopic endometrial tissues, which often migrate from the basalis layer and clonally expand,[1] express diffuse epigenic defects that result in altered responses of estrogens, resistances to progester…
BACKGROUND: To assess whether the unilateral or bilateral lesions can affect ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in infertility patients underwent laparoscopic cystecto…
AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the laterality of ovarian endometrioma on pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) in infertile patients undergoing laparoscopic cystectom…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the laparoscopist's experience can affect ovarian reserve and pregnancy outcome in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) patients who previously underwent laparoscopic conservative trea…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the eutopic endometrial interleukin-18 (IL-18) system including interleukin-18 (IL-18), IL-18 receptor (IL-18R), and IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), mRNA, and protein expression in patients with adenomyosis. DESI…
OBJECTIVE: We report on two infertile women with localized adenomyosis who had successful pregnancies after treatment with laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENT(S): T…
BACKGROUND: A novel approach in combined laparoscopic and vaginal procedures through the posterior cul-de-sac for subtotal hysterectomy is introduced. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-one women with menometrorrhagia, symptomatic adenomyosis, o…
Two cases of unilateral labial edema occurred after laparoscopic presacral neurectomy and were associated with massive chylous ascites. One woman was cured by a second laparoscopy to repair the chylous leakage. In the other, vulvar edema su…
BACKGROUND: Extrapelvic endometriosis may occur at unusual sites. We report a rare case of an endometrioma presenting as a suburethral mass in a woman without a previous surgical history. CASE: A 27-year-old, nulliparous woman presented wi…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of laparoscopic uterine artery ligation on symptomatic adenomyosis. DESIGN: Prospective pilot study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Tertiary care major teaching hospital. PAT…
