Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been suggested to be linked with autoimmune processes. Laparoscopic ovarian electrocauterization has the potency to stimulate more autoimmune reactions in PCOS patients. In the present study, we considered anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs) as the hallmark of autoimmune reactions, and investigated the serum level of these antibodies in 35 patients with PCOS (21-...

BACKGROUND Large cystic ovarian masses pose technical challenges to the laparoscopic surgeon. Removing large, potentially malignant specimens must be done with care to avoid the leakage of cyst fluid into the abdominal cavity. CASE We present the case of a large ovarian cystic mass treated laparoscopically with intentional trocar puncture of the mass to drain and remove the mass. DISCUSSIO...

Ovarian torsion is one of the common gynaecologic surgical emergencies. stimulation in infertility treatment has become a major risk factor for ovarian torsion. The diagnosis condition challenging early pregnancy and timely can prevent morbidity both mother foetus. We present case 28 years old primi gravida known polycystic syndrome (PCOS) conceived after ovulation induction, at 7 weeks period ...

Reproductive surgery could be divided into surgery as a primary treatment for infertility, surgery to enhance in-vitro fertilization outcome, and surgery for fertility preservation. Tubal disease accounts for 25%–35% of female factor infertility. A successful tubal repair gives the patient the possibility of conceiving more than once without further treatment. It also gives the couple the psych...

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrinological disorder where there is hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction and multiple ovarian cysts. The most common presenting features are hirsutism, acne, metabolic syndrome and biochemical hyperandrogenism. Patients also have hyperlipidemia and an impaired glucose metabolism. Treatment involves oral contraceptive pills for menstrual abnormalities and hy...

The current study presents a case of sarcoidosis manifesting as hepatic and splenic nodules, which was difficult to differentiate from ovarian cancer metastases. A 24-year-old female, who was previously diagnosed with right ovarian cancer and underwent surgery at the age of 21, was found to have two nodules in the spleen revealed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). 18F-fluorodeoxyglu...

To determine the effect of the removal of the tube on ovarian function we studied 52 artificial reproduction technology cycles in 26 women before and after undergoing laparoscopic salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy. Ovarian response was measured by the duration and quantity of human menopausal gonadotrophins used in the cycle, the pre-ovulatory concentrations of oestradiol, the number of oocyt...

Objective: To evaluate the changes in ovarian volume and the reproductive outcome after unilateral (UOD) and bilateral (BOD) laparoscopic ovarian diathermy in infertile women with Clomiphene Citrate resistant PCOS. Material and Methods: The ovarian volume in both groups was measured by transvaginal ultrasonography preoperatively and up to 10 days after laparoscopic ovarian diathermy and examine...

Ovarian cysts over 5 and 15 cm are described as large and giant, respectively. Ovarian cysts over 5 cm without regression in 6-8 weeks are indicated for surgery. Although there are published data about the laparoscopic or laparoscopy assisted management of the large and giant cysts, especially in cases of giant cysts midline laparotomy is preferred by many surgeons. In this paper, we present th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy and appendectomy during the early second trimester have been widely reported. However, the use of both procedures in advanced gestation is rare. We propose a minilaparoscopic approach for performing these 2 procedures in a woman 24-weeks pregnant. METHODS We describe the case and laparoscopic management of acute abdominal pain at the 2...
