Surgical advantages of laparoscopic pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection using the thermal welding instrument compared with conventional laparotomy for lymph node dissection
Conclusion The data demonstrate that lymph node dissection could be performed effectively by laparoscopy with the thermal welding instruments with a greater number of retrieved lymph nodes, less blood loss, and shorter hospital stay. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Learning curve for laparoendoscopic single-site surgery for an experienced laparoscopic surgeon
Conclusion LESS is a safe and feasible alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery for adnexal and uterine diseases. A learning curve is not required for LESS surgery for experienced laparoscopic surgeons. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Ovarian tumor cases that were preoperatively diagnosed as benign but postoperatively confirmed as borderline or malignant after laparoscopic surgery
Conclusion Some tumors diagnosed preoperatively as benign proved postoperatively to be malignant. Appropriate postoperative treatment effectively improved the prognosis. Particular attention should be paid to a possible occult malignancy that may manifest postoperatively, especially in patients who underwent emergency surgery. We recommend preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, even for emergency cases, to improve preoperative diagnosis. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Her-2/neu overexpression is associated with thrombospondin-1-related angiogenesis and thrombospondin-1-unrelated lymphangiogenesis in breast cancer
Conclusion Our in vivo results showed that Her-2/neu affects the biological manifestations of breast cancer by increasing angiogenesis (which is TSP-1-related) and lymphangiogenesis, which is TSP-1-unrelated). (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

How to manage multiple fibroids in reproductive laparoscopic surgery
Publication date: November 2013 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 2, Issue 4 Author(s): Wachyu Hadisaputra , Arie Aldila Pratama The incidence of fibroids ranges from 30% to 70% in women of reproductive age, with the peak incidence occurring between 35 and 49 years of age. Risk factors for fibroids include nulliparity, obesity, black ethnicity, family history, polycystic ovarian syndrome, diabetes, and hypertension. Fibroids are present in 5–10% of the patients presenting with infertility. Laparoscopic myomectomy is preferred over abdominal myomectomy because several small incisions are used ...

Principles of safe abdominal entry in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery
Publication date: November 2013 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 2, Issue 4 Author(s): Jongrak Thepsuwan , Kuan-Gen Huang , Muliati Wilamarta , Aizura-Syafinaz Adlan , Vahan Manvelyan , Chyi-Long Lee Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery has been widely used with a range of benefits. However, there are complications that are related to the abdominal entry process. Serious complications are gastrointestinal tract and major blood vessel injuries. This review introduces the recent available literature to prevent and eliminate the laparoscopic entry complications. The open entry technique is associ...

Vesical calculus associated with vesicovaginal fistula
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Ming-Huei Cheng , Hsiang-Tai Chao , Huann-Cheng Horng , Man-Jung Hung , Ben-Shian Huang , Peng-Hui Wang Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is relatively common after radiotherapy, but the formation of a bladder stone after VVF is still rare. The diagnosis is often delayed, and mortality sometimes occurs with delayed diagnosis and treatment, especially in elderly and disabled women. To increase knowledge of this unusual condition—vesical stone associated with VVF—we present a case report, and summarize the p...

Endometrial stromal sarcoma occurring 20 years after total hysterectomy for myomas
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Yen-Feng Lu , Ben-Shian Huang , Chiung-Ru Lai , Kuan-Chin Wang , Ming-Shyen Yen , Peng-Hui Wang Extrauterine and extraovarian endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) without endometriosis are extremely rare. A 57-year-old woman had a pelvic mass. Twenty years previously, she had undergone total hysterectomy and left salpingo-oophorectomy for uterine myomas. A series of examinations, including upper and lower gastrointestinal evaluations, and tumor markers such as cancer antigen (CA)-125, CA 19-9, and carcino...

Emerging health problems among women: Inactivity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Yi-Ju Tsai , Ming-Ping Wu , Ya-Wen Hsu The increase in obesity and metabolic syndrome has been documented worldwide. However, few studies have investigated the risk of inactivity, obesity, and metabolic syndrome specifically in women. Hormone balance plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and helps to maintain optimal health. It is likely that the sex difference in obesity may be due to the variation in hormone concentration throughout a woman's life, which predisposes them to weight gain. This paper...

Adhesion prevention in laparoscopic myomectomy
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Pao-Ling Torng Adhesions are common sequels of laparoscopic myomectomy (LM), even though they are much reduced compared with laparotomy. Good surgical technique is the main principle to reduce post LM adhesion. Based on electronic research of the PubMed database using specific keywords, barrier materials offer promise for adhesion prevention at second look laparoscopy. However, pregnancy outcome when influenced by adhesion formation after LM is unclear and warrants further investigation. (Source: Gynecology a...

Amniotic fluid stem cells for minimally invasive prenatal cell therapy
Publication date: February 2014 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 3, Issue 1 Author(s): Sheng-Wen Steven Shaw Amniotic fluid stem cells can be expanded without feeder layers and can differentiate into mesenchymal and hematopoietic lineages. Long-term engraftment has been difficult to achieve after prenatal stem cell transplantation, mainly because of allogeneic rejection. Autologous cells can be obtained from amniotic fluid with minimal risk. This review aims to define the potential of human amniotic fluid stem cells as an autologous stem cell source for minimal invasive prenatal cell or cell-ba...
