A case of idiopathic omental hemorrhage
Publication date: Available online 23 February 2016 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Toshimitsu Hosotani, Akemi Kinoshita, Chika Hirota, Ken Ueki, Shinsuke Satake With the exception of trauma, intraperitoneal hemorrhage in young women is caused by the high frequency of ectopic pregnancy and ovarian bleeding. Here, we describe a case of idiopathic omental hemorrhage, which is a rare cause of intraperitoneal hemorrhage. Intraperitoneal hemorrhage was suspected in a 38-year-old Japanese woman based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Her last menstrual period was 23 days prior, ...

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)

Laparoscopic conservative surgery for massive ovarian edema with torsion
We report a case of massive ovarian edema with torsion in a patient who underwent laparoscopic surgery with preserved ovarian function. It is clinically important to make a diagnosis appropriately and rapidly to prevent unnecessary oophorectomy and preserve ovarian function. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Complete remission of relapsed cervical cancer through immunochemoradiotherapy: Two case reports and three proposed mechanism
Conclusion We reported two patients with cervical cancer recurrence after conventional therapy. We combined CCRT and ICRT to augment the host cells' immunosurveillance and reach durable response more than 5 years mimic long-term progression-free survival. These two patients showed promising results. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

Surgical and oncological outcome of laparoscopic surgery, compared to laparotomy, for Japanese patients with endometrial cancer
Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible for patients with early-stage endometrial cancer. However, patients with carcinosarcoma and other histologic types of endometrioid adenocarcinoma require special attention because of the high risk of recurrence and poor prognosis.

The relationship between torsion and of the length of the peduncle in patients with uterine subserosal leiomyoma
Conclusions In the preoperative period, the length of the peduncle was associated with the subsequent occurrence of torsion in patients with subserosal uterine leiomyoma. The length to thickness index is useful for predicting the torsion of a subserosal uterus leiomyoma. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

“Contain before transection, contain before manual morcellation” with a tissue pouch in laparoendoscopic single-site subtotal hysterectomy
Publication date: Available online 3 April 2016 Source:Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy Author(s): Meng-Yu Wu, Dah-Ching Ding, Tang-Yuan Chu, Mun-Kun Hong This work proposes a modified method for removing the uterine body in laparoendoscopic single-site subtotal hysterectomy based on the principle of “contain before transection, and contain before manual morcellation,” using a surgical tissue pouch (LapSac, Cook Inc., Bloomington, IN, USA). The main advantage of this method is a low likelihood of a bag rupture during manual morcellation which minimizes the potential risk of iatrogenic parasitic myo...

Chronic pelvic pain due to pelvic lymphangioleiomyomatosis: A case report
We report a case of endometriosis with chronic pelvic pain due to pelvic LAM. A 41-year-old gravida 1, para 1 woman had been experiencing intermittent left pelvic pain for several years. She also complained of dyspnea on effort 2 years previously, and was diagnosed with pulmonary LAM. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a right ovarian endometriotic cyst and a left pelvic mass. She was referred to our hospital for the treatment of pelvic pain; she underwent laparoscopic cystectomy of the right ovarian endometriotic cyst. Her left pelvic cyst was found in the retroperitoneal space, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosi...

Risk of endometrial cancer in patients with a preoperative diagnosis of atypical endometrial hyperplasia treated with total laparoscopic hysterectomy
Conclusion Careful preoperative examinations, including hysteroscopy, might be useful to evaluate the risk of EC. Accordingly, we should be still careful about the possibility of overdiagnosis in patients with AEH. (Source: Gynecology and Minimally Invasive Therapy)

She had chronic pelvic pain and ultrasound-diagnosed cystic lesions in the pelvis. Surgical laparoscopic management was planned and executed successfully with the condition being diagnosed at the time of surgery and confirmed by histologic analysis. We herein describe the surgical technique used t...
