Ovarian remnant syndrome occurs in patients who have had attempted oophorectomy and part of the ovary was left behind. It often happens in patients who are undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in the …

Objective: The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to assess spontaneous pregnancy rates after excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in patients with infertility. Materials and Methods: An electronic-based search was perfor…

Abstract We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and learning curve of a sonographic mapping protocol for deep endometriosis (DE). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Tertiary referra…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the use of the robot for surgical treatment of endometriosis is better than traditional laparoscopy in terms of operative length, perioperative parameters, and quality of life outcomes. DESIGN: Multicenter, …

OBJECTIVE: To determine perioperative outcomes and factors impacting operating time, length of hospital stay, and complications of patients undergoing surgery for stage 3 or 4 endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective review of medical records …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of postoperative complications in robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery according to case type. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Mayo Clinic …

BACKGROUND: Supracervical hysterectomy, a surgical technique that involves removal of the uterus while preserving the cervix, places women at an increased risk for future morbidity. CASE: The patient presented 7 years after laparoscopic su…

Radical parametrectomy is indicated in cases of undiagnosed early-stage invasive cervical carcinoma discovered after simple hysterectomy performed for a presumed benign disease process. This radical surgical procedure is rarely performed fo…

Radical parametrectomy is rarely performed for benign diseases given the considerable risk of complications, however, some benign conditions require wide excision of the pelvic tissue, including parametria. We report on two cases of robotic…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the application of robotic technology in the performance of adnexectomy resulted in benefits for the patient when compared with patients operated by laparoscopy. METHODS: Evaluation of 85 patients undergoing …

OBJECTIVE: To review outcomes and pathologic findings of a primarily minimally invasive approach to ovarian remnant syndrome. DESIGN: Data were abstracted from medical records documenting bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and subsequent trea…

Ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) refers to a condition occurring in women who have had a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), with or without a hysterectomy, that leaves behind ovarian tissue. This residual ovarian tissue then results in pe…

BACKGROUND: The number of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies performed has increased, yet the benefits and consequences are not well understood. CASE: The patient presented 5 years after a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy wit…

The ovarian remnant syndrome, a complication of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, is progressively receiving more attention in the gynecological surgery literature. The syndrome is manifested by pelvic pain and a palpable or sonographic find…
