BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Owing to the increasing trend of preserving fertility in adenomyomectomy, the need for laparoscopic adenomyomectomy has increased. This study aimed to introduce a new surgical technique, an advanced laparoscopic ad…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to compare patients who have undergone conventional laparoscopic surgery with those who undergone multiport robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecological diseases regarding c…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the cannulation success rate, cumulative pregnancy, and time to intrauterine pregnancy rate following fluoroscopically-guided hysteroscopic tubal cannulation (FHTC) for infertile subjects with proximal tubal obstruct…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze indirect costs of vaginal and laparoscopic routes for hysterectomy to determine whether this makes a difference in total costs when considering route for surgery. METHODS: A f…

Three patients with abnormal uterine bleeding underwent uncomplicated minimally invasive total hysterectomy with routine cystoscopy. At time of cystoscopy, the patients had unexpected findings of bladder masses and postoperatively were expe…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To identify intraoperative factors during laparoscopic hysterectomy associated with postoperative opioid use and increased pain scores during the acute postoperative period. METHODS: This is a prospective survey-…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To analyze long-term effectiveness of a conservative, uterine-sparing approach to laparoscopic Essure removal. Specific outcomes of interest include patient satisfaction, symptom resolution, and subsequent surgical…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate postoperative opioid use after benign minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery and assess the impact of a patient educational intervention regarding proper opioid use/disposal. METHODS: Educational pamp…

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic instruments and techniques are constantly improving, as the ability to perform minimally invasive surgery is crucial in modern medicine. The progression from open surgery to minimally invasive surgery over the yea…

OBJECTIVE: To identify pre-operative and intraoperative factors associated with the risk of red blood cell transfusion among women undergoing hysterectomy. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of hysterectomy for benign indications betwee…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically impacted gynecologic surgery. In March 2020, the American College of Surgeons recommended delay of all nonessential invasive procedures. This study characterizes the number and t…

OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of appendiceal histopathology in patients with confirmed endometriosis following minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for endometriosis. To determine whether pre-operative symptoms, age, intra-operative a…

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The primary objective is to determine the rate of morbid events (urinary tract infection, hematuria, urinary retention, false positive, incidental finding) associated with routine cystoscopies performed intraoperatively du…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pre-operative type and screen (T&S) is typically obtained if a patient is expected to require a blood transfusion; however, in cases of minimal blood loss, routine T&S may be unnecessary. The objective of our stud…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) of the Firefly® system has become a useful and widespread technique for the visualization and detection of tumors, sentinel lymphnodes, and vascular/anatomical structures. METHOD…

BACKGROUND: We sought to assess hernia characteristics and classification through comprehensive review of the literature involving broad ligament herniation. METHODS: A literature search via MEDLINE and Embase databases was conducted to id…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Based on laparoscopic views, we hypothesized that the involvement of the lateral compartment of the pelvis (LCP) by deep infiltrating endometriosis can be inferred by observing retraction of the obliterated umbili…

INTRODUCTION: Tailgut cysts are rare remnants of the embryological hindgut. Resections are difficult to perform due to the narrow and delicate presacral space where they are usually located. Many different approaches have been described, bu…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Robotic surgery data need a setback on many years of practice with high-volume surgeons to evaluate its real value. Our main objective was to study the impact of a decade of robotic surgery on minimally-invasive h…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic hysterectomy provides patients and surgeons with benefits of less pain, quicker recovery, and better scar cosmesis. Previously, robotic surgical hysterectomy was reserved for patients with complicated…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To present the methods and outcomes of total laparoscopic hysterectomy with debulking surgery for large cervical fibroids. METHODS: This is a single-center study. Twenty-one women who underwent total laparoscopic…

OBJECTIVE: Despite limited data, acetaminophen, along with other agents, is commonly included in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols following laparoscopic hysterectomy. We aimed to systematically review the efficacy of acetami…

ObjectiveTo explore the time characteristics of shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological operation.MethodsWe conducted prospective clinical observations and literature review. We studied 442 cases of laparoscopic gynecological surgery…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate outcomes and ascertain the safety and efficacy on patients having total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), stratified by body mass index (BMI), focusing on high-BMI patients. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort…

Background and objectivesExamine trends in opioid prescriptions after laparoscopic sterilization over time, and identify any individual patient, provider, or procedural factors influencing prescribing.MethodsA retrospective observational co…
