Seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) generally have a favorable prognosis, and fertility-preserving surgery may be indicated. However, SMBT may occasionally coexist with carcinoma, necessitating careful management. This report presents tw…

AIM: To identify the predictors for periureteral adhesions preoperatively. METHODS: Preoperative predictors for periureteral adhesions were evaluated in 407 patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for benign uterine diseases …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, affecting ~10% of women of reproductive age, is associated with infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The condition is classified into superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometriomas (OMA),…

AIM: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes by treatment approach and assess the appropriateness and safety of surgical intervention in patients with infertility and uterine adenomyosis. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients,…

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are generally avoided in late pregnancy due to fetal risks, such as premature ductus arteriosus closure. However, celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, may help manage pain …

PURPOSE: MiRNAs regulate gene expression, impacting reproductive health, such as infertility and implantation failure. This study investigated the association between miRNA polymorphisms and male infertility (azoospermia, oligospermia), fem…

AIM: To investigate the therapeutic potential of phytoestrogens in the management of endometriosis and to elucidate their mechanisms of action based on current preclinical and clinical evidence. METHODS: This narrative review evaluates rec…

OBJECTIVE: Adenomyosis is a gynecological condition characterized by the invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, causing symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain. Its diagnosis remains challenging due …

Detecting ureteral injury-a serious intraoperative and postoperative complication of hysterectomy-is a high level of difficulty if ureteral malformations are not identified preoperatively. A 39-year-old Japanese woman underwent total laparo…

Uterine adenomyosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and obstetric complications. Rarely, adenomyosis can lead to abscess formation, which is refractory to an…

AIM: To investigate the efficacy and safety of long-term adjusted low-dose gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy (GnRH agonist drawback therapy) with nafarelin acetate in patients with uterine fibroids and/or adenomyosis with menst…

The follicular microenvironment is crucial for normal ovarian function, and intra-ovarian factors, in coordination with gonadotropins, contribute to its regulation. Recent research has revealed that the accumulation of senescent cells worse…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to examine the effects of endometriosis on the rate of abnormal placentation by comparing the data of pregnant women with and without endometriosis. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted to compare the perinatal …

AIM: The purpose of the study was to compare the ovarian reserve after cystectomy of ovarian endometrioma by bipolar coagulation, suture method, or hemostatic sealants (HSs). METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis of studies in which post-c…

Endometriosis, affecting 6%-10% of women of reproductive age, can lead to severe symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Among its rarer manifestations is abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE), which has been increasingly reporte…

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to establish a diagnostic model of endometriosis (EM) based on disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mRNA expression data of EM were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database and su…

Seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBT) are papillary neoplasms without invasive capabilities. Originally categorized as ovarian tumors, SMBT, being an endometriosis-related tumor, can manifest beyond the ovaries. To date, only four cases of …

AIM: To identify factors influencing the Trendelenburg angle required during laparoscopic gynecological surgery. METHODS: Patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery at a single university hospital between May 1, 2019, and March 31, 2021 w…

AIM: We investigated the association between the length of anogenital distance (AGD) and intra-vaginal pH, an indicator of vaginal eubiosis or dysbiosis, in women with endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was performed includ…

OBJECTIVE: Thin endometrium caused by various factors affects the conception rate of females worldwide; however, current medications are still insufficient. Therefore, a novel approach is needed. We previously reported the effect of menstru…

AIM: This prospective, randomized, observational study aimed to compare the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine, oral dexketoprofen, cervical lidocaine spray, and paracervical block with prilocaine for pain management during outpatient endom…

AIM: As a treatment for tubal infertility, falloposcopic tuboplasty (FT) is one of the options for patients who wish to conceive naturally. Based on the results of FT, we propose an appropriate time of transitioning to assisted reproductive…

AIM: The increasing incidence of cesarean sections has led to a higher prevalence of cesarean scar defects (CSDs), predominantly characterized by postmenstrual bleeding in affected women. CSD manifests in various forms, including isolated m…

AIM: Endometriosis is a complex, multifactorial disease. Recent advances in molecular biology underscore that somatic mutations within the epithelial component of the normal endometrium, alongside aberrant epigenetic alterations within endo…
