Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrial stroma or glands is found in locations outside the uterus. The disease generally affects women during their reproductive years (more commonly in their 40s or 50s) and involves 7-10% of the female population (1) . Among women who undergo a diagnostic laparoscopy for infertility the prevalence of endometriosis is 20-50% (2-3) . ...

We evaluated the preoperative errors in the pelvic tilt of 249 hips before total hip arthroplasty using fluoroscopic imaging while the patients were in the lateral decubitus position. The mean absolute value errors of the pelvic tilt were 2.94° (SD, 2.92°), 2.49° (SD, 2.68°), and 5.92° (SD, 5.20°) in the coronal, transverse, and sagittal planes, respectively. Such preoperative errors in the pel...

Method Fourteen standing biplanar radiographic files of asymptomatic and scoliotic patients have been recorded and treated in the frame of pelvis/spine studies. Radiographic examinations involved frontal and sagittal exposures grasped successively. A standard radiographic set up is used, involving a rotating platform, interposed between radiographic source and plate. Patients must stand motionl...

incidence of infertility is 15-20%. tubal and peritontal factors are responsible for 30-40% of infertility cases. in evaluation of infertile women, hysterosalpingography (hsg) is the first test in evaluating of fallopian tubes and laparoscopy is the gold standard test for diagnosing tubal problems and pelvic adhesions. in this study we evaluated 291 infertile couples. study is prospective, desc...

We reviewed 29 cases of congenital multicystic dysplastic kidneys. Isolated renal pelvic atresia has an excellent prognosis but lower ureteral atresias are associated with a high incidence of contralateral renal disease and have a worse prognosis.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous iliosacral screw fixation can provide stable fixation with a minimally invasive surgical technique for unstable posterior pelvic ring injuries. This surgical technique is not limited by cases of difficult fracture patterns, sacral dysplasia, and small sacral pedicles that can occur in Asians. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of the sacral dyspla...
