Effect of ovarian dermoid cyst excision on ovarian reserve and response: Insights from in  vitro fertilization
Conclusion Our results suggest that ovarian dermoid cyst excision could significantly reduce ovarian reserve to a similar extent as the cyst itself. The presence or resection of dermoid cysts will not affect the main IVF outcomes. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Power morcellation —An emerging risk complicating minimally invasive surgery for uterine mesenchymal neoplasms
Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery had proven benefits over open surgery, although the dissemination of unexpected malignancy and extrauterine seeding were major concerns. To date, morcellation in the endobag or cutting the specimen using a knife or scissors may be alternative surgical techniques. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Feasibility of reduced port surgery applying Higuchi's transverse incision
Conclusion We reported novel forms of reduced port surgery applying Higuchi's transverse incision. It was suggested that these procedures are relatively simple, but ensure the same safety and efficacy as conventional methods. We intend to increase the number of cases and examine safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction for these procedures. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Hyperthyroidism due to struma ovarii: Diagnostic pitfalls and preventing thyroid storm
We report struma ovarii in a case that had hyperthyroidism and was treated with laparoscopic tumor resection. A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented with tachycardia, finger tremor, and weight loss. Although blood examination showed hyperthyroidism, test results for thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody and thyroid stimulating antibody were negative, and thyroid scintigraphy showed no abnormal findings. Because she was diagnosed with an ovarian tumor, and whole-body scintigraphy showed that iodine uptake was detected in the pelvic space, we diagnosed her with an ovarian tumor, which caused excessive thyroid hormone...

Laparoscopically assisted cervical canalization and neovaginoplasty in a woman with cervical atresia and vaginal aplasia
We report the case of a 17-year-old girl who presented with primary amenorrhea and cyclical abdominal pain, and was diagnosed with cervical atresia and vaginal aplasia that were treated laparoscopically. Laparoscopically assisted cervical canalization and neovaginoplasty were performed to relieve dysmenorrhea and allow for sexual intercourse and fertility. We did not use a bowel segment, skin, or peritoneum as a graft for the neovaginoplasty. To prevent adhesions and promote epithelialization, we used an estrogen-containing cream. Moreover, we did not use a vaginal mold. The patient is free of cervical stenosis and able to...

Single-incision laparoscopic myomectomy: A review of the literature and available evidence
Publication date: May 2016 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy, Volume 5, Issue 2 Author(s): Naoyuki Yoshiki Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has become more feasible and safer for the patient by improvement in conventional laparoscopic techniques and availability of more advanced instruments. To date, there are many publications regarding having applied this technique to most benign gynecologic disorders. However, with regard to single-incision laparoscopic myomectomy, there are only a handful of publications. Researchers in the literature show that single-incision laparoscopic myomectomy is ...

Safety of total laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy with or without lymphadenectomy for endometrial cancer
Conclusion Total laparoscopic modified radical hysterectomy is safe and feasible for the treatment of early stage endometrial cancer. This procedure can be an alternative to total laparoscopic hysterectomy, especially when the uterus must be removed completely. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm caused by a uterine manipulator
We describe here a woman with a UAP caused by a uterine manipulator. She underwent laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy with a uterine manipulator due to torsion of a left ovarian cyst. Eleven days later, she came to our hospital with massive vaginal bleeding. Transvaginal Color Doppler ultrasound showed an intrauterine cystic mass with swirling blood flow, and three-dimensional arterial imaging from computed tomography revealed a UAP on the left side. Selective uterine artery angiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm in the distal portion of the left uterine artery, and embolization was performed successfully. A UAP should be ...
