Background and Clinical Significance: A paratubal leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare benign smooth muscle tumor arising from paratubal tissue, with only sporadic cases reported in the literature. Case Presentation: We present the case of a …

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies found younger age was associated with an increased risk of hysterectomy after hysteroscopic surgeries (HS) due to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of age on the inci…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition affecting reproductive-aged women. It has been associated with infertility and potential risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes, although population-level evidence remains limited…

Ovarian cancer (OC), the seventh most common cancer in women and the most lethal gynecological malignancy, is a significant global health challenge, with >324,000 new cases and >200,000 deaths being reported annually. OC is characterized by…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue. Despite its significant impact on fertility and quality of life, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains p…

Background and Clinical Significance: Paratubal Leydig cell nodules are rare incidental findings that present diagnostic challenges. Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Vaginal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, accounting for less than 10% of all primary vaginal cancers. It predominantly affects older women but can also occur in younger populations, particularly in association wit…

RATIONALE: Adenomyosis, a gynecological condition characterized by endometrial tissue within the uterine myometrium, often leads to menstrual pain and heavy bleeding, significantly affecting the quality of life. The primary treatment for ad…

This study explored whether the risk of thyroid cancer in Asian women is associated with consumption of oral contraceptives (Diane-35). We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study using the Taiwan National Health Insurance R…

BACKGROUND: We describe a DNA methylation assay, named MPap test, using cervical scraping as an alternative technique for endometrial cancer detection. METHODS: A multicenter hospital-based, two-stage validation study was conducted to vali…

RATIONALE: Ovarian cystadenofibroma is a relatively rare benign ovarian tumor. Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) is a rare complication of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). We report a rare case of ORS with paraintestinal ovarian serous c…

Opportunistic salpingectomies (OSs) are concurrently performed with hysterectomies to prevent epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between OS and early menopause in females who have undergone hysterecto…

Endometriosis is a common systemic chronic inflammatory disease. Inflammation is the key mechanism responsible for the development of endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. We aimed to investigate the risk of coronary artery disease (…

Seprafilm becomes brittle and sticky after contact with water, rendering it difficult to use in laparoscopic surgery. Hence, Seprafilm is not used frequently in laparoscopic surgery. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to com…

RATIONALE: We report a case with inguinal subcutaneous endometriosis without typical cyclic dysmenorrhea and accompanied with a hernia sac treated with resection of the tumor and herniorrhaphy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 40-year-old woman had a p…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) affects 4.4% of women aged 18-44 in the United States, and may cause infertility if it is ineffectively treated. A combination of clindamycin and gentamicin is generally used for the treatment of PID. The b…

BACKGROUND: Hormonal fluctuations may trigger the onset of bipolar disorder. We designed a longitudinal follow-up study to evaluate the association between hysterectomies and bipolar disorder risk. METHODS: We conducted a large retrospecti…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of contained manual morcellation (CMM) with a tissue pouch during minimally invasive robotic or laparoscopic surgeries. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study included women who underwent robotic…

Using the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we investigated whether undergoing a hysterectomy increases the risk of depression. A total of 7872 patients aged 30⁻49 years who underwent a hysterectomy from 2000 to 2013 we…

Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) had been used for many gynecologic surgeries without pelvic adhesions. We report a 30-year-old female with multiple abdominal adhesions underwent NOTES hysterectomy successfully. A 30-…

AIM: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and peri- and postoperative outcomes of robotic single-site supracervical hysterectomy (RSSSH) for benign gynecologic disease. METHODS: We report 3 patients who received RSSSH for adenomyosis of the…

OBJECTIVE: To proposed a novel method for a difficult laparoscopic hysterectomy that spares the cervical ligaments and eliminates the cervical canal and transformation zone of the cervix. CASE REPORT: A 40-year-old women, gravida 3 para 3,…
