OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena(®)) on aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression in the endometrium of patients with adenomyosis who were submitted to endometrial resection at the time of insertion, compared to a group not submitted to endometrial resection and a group of controls with adenomyosis not submitted to any previou...

Endometrial polyps are benign localized lesions of the endometrium, which are commonly seen in women of reproductive age. Observational studies have suggested a detrimental effect of endometrial polyps on fertility. The natural course of endometrial polyps remains unclear. Expectant management of small and asymptomatic polyps is reasonable in many cases. However, surgical resection of endometri...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to determine the effectiveness the effectiveness of post-polypectomy hysteroscopic endometrial resection in preventing the recurrence of endometrial polyps in post-menopausal patients and analyse the complications and necessity of additional surgery in patients, in addition to their degree of satisfaction. METHODS A prospective longitudinal study o...

CONTEXT The majority of oncological pancreatic resections involve resection of primary pancreatic tumors. Pancreatic resection for metastatic disease is rare but can produce durable palliation or even cure in carefully selected patients. Herein, we report what to our knowledge is the first description of pancreatic resection of metastatic endometrial carcinoma. CASE REPORT We evaluated a pati...

BACKGROUND This study compares results of endometrial ablation alone and in combination with myoma coagulation. Subsequent surgery rates were 38% for ablation alone and 12% for combined therapy. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare hysterectomy rates following various surgical procedures to treat profuse uterine bleeding as well as myomatous uteri. STUDY DESIGN This is a descr...
