AIMS/BACKGROUND Ten patients with metastatic tumours to the conjunctiva and the clinical aspects of this rare form of ocular metastasis are described in this study. METHOD All patients with ocular and adnexal metastatic tumours referred to an ocular oncology service were reviewed and those having conjunctival metastases were studied for the site of their primary tumour, clinical features, and...

INTRODUCTION Posterior colpotomy incision for specimen retrieval is infrequently used in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery unless a concomitant hysterectomy is performed. We aim to describe a simple and unique technique for creating the colpotomy incision and to describe intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. METHODS Fifty patients underwent adnexal specimen retrieval through a posterior c...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To estimate the feasibility, safety, and operative outcomes for the management of adnexal masses by single port access (SPA) laparoscopy with a wound retractor and a surgical glove. DESIGN A prospective single-center study (Canadian Task Force classification III). SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Twenty-four well selected patients with adnexal masses on imaging scans ...

Abstract Adnexal masses may present as symptomatic lesions or be discovered incidentally during radiological examinations. The questions asked of radiologists are firstly, what is the nature mass and secondly, does it need to removed if so, how? Multidisciplinary discussion plan patient management aim avoid two scenarios simple resection an ovarian cancer major debulking surgery for benign dise...

There has been explosive growth in the utilization of cross-sectional imaging studies in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected abdominal and pelvic pathology. These imaging studies have led to a veritable epidemic of incidentally detected adnexal masses in both oncology and non-oncology patient populations that in the past remained undiscovered. In this commentary we provide some g...

We report a case of right adnexal torsion during pregnancy after an oocyte in vitro maturation and intracitoplasmic sperm injection cycle in patient with polycystic ovary syndrome. A 31-year-old woman with a typical clinical disorder of polycystic ovarian syndrome was included in an oocyte in vitro maturation program. Right adnexal torsion occurred two days after embryo transfer, and laparoscop...

Laparoscopic-assisted ovarian cystectomy with exteriorization is a minimally invasive procedure. However, applicability of this procedure for transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery is not well established. Herein, we describe our initial experience with isobaric (gasless) LESS-assisted extracorporeal cystectomy in management of selected adnexal tumors. Of 17 consecutive adne...

In this case report, a rare case of an adnexal torsion caused by hyperreactio luteinalis (HL) in the third trimester is described, since adnexal torsions are mainly restricted to the first trimester of pregnancy. In an emergency Cesarean section, the patient gave birth to a healthy female baby weighing 3,300 g and we found an enlarged benign multiple luteinized follicular cyst mass in the right...
