BACKGROUND Adenomyosis is a common benign disorder in pre-menopausal women that presents with uterine enlargement, pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. However, its risk factors have not been clearly determined. The aim of this study was to determine whether prior uterine surgery is a risk factor for adenomyosis. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we reviewed the medic...

The regulation of ovarian and uterine blood flow are important aspects of reproductive physiology. Rapid and profound alterations in the vasculature of the cycling ovary have been reported and suggestions that blood flow to individual follicles may play an instrumental role in the selection and maturation of the dominant follicle in the primate (Zeleznik etal, 1991). More recent data indicates ...

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) of uterine cervical cancer is extremely rare. A 54-year-old woman with uterine cervical cancer treated with surgery and radiotherapy developed LM manifesting as ptosis 17 years later. Although rare, LM should be considered in patients with a history of uterine cervical cancer presenting with cranial nerve symptoms.

A study was conducted on the effectiveness of terlipressin during myomectomy cesarean section in pregnant women with uterine fibroids. The drug has demonstrated high efficacy, significantly reducing level intraoperative blood loss and shortening duration surgery.

Uterine lipoleiomyomas are rare benign tumors that mostly affect the uterine corpus. We are reporting the imaging and operative procedure of a very rare case of a large lipoleiomyoma of the uterine cervix combined with an occult adult ovarian granulosa cell tumor. The patient was treated with minimal invasive surgery.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of reversible ligating clips to block uterine arteries and reduce operative blood loss during laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). METHODS Twenty consecutive women with symptomatic uterine fibroids desiring to preserve the uteri underwent laparoscopic surgery with ligation of the uterine arteries with ligating clips, followed by myomectomy and...

Laparoscopic myomectomy is a minimally invasive, conservative surgical approach commonly used for the treatment of uterine fibroids. However, there is a lack of effective means to distinguish the nature of uterine tumors prior to surgery. The impact of fibroid morcellation during laparoscopic surgery on the dissemination of cancerous uterine fibroids and long-term survival of patients has gaine...

We report a case of uterine artery rupture in a woman at 14 weeks' gestation who presented with abdominal pain, tachycardia, and hypotension and underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy. During this procedure, a spontaneous rupture of the left uterine artery was diagnosed and the surgery was converted into a laparotomy. The artery was bound to its origin and to its distal uterine portion. The patient...

Postmenopausal uterine choriocarcinoma is very rare and benefits of curative chemotherapy. We present here the case of 62-year-old women with uterine bleeding. Emergency surgery revealed a uterine tumor and histopathology findings were consistent with choriocarcinoma. Immunohistochemistry tests confirmed betahCG and cytokeratin expression by malignant cells, thus establishing the positive diagn...
