Tubo-ovarian abscess is a rare but potentially serious event that can occur after uterine artery embolization (UAE). We describe herein two cases of severe inflammatory tubo-ovarian abscesses. Two women presented with severe abdominal pain, cramping, and fever several months after UAE. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated an enlarged tubo-ovarian mass, suggestive of an abscess. Percutaneo...

PRESENT understanding of human female reproductive physiology has largely been derived from the results of animal experimentation, and particularly from studies on the rhesus monkey. This is also true of our present knowledge of the possible modes of action of an intra-uterine device (IUD). Recent studies in the rhesus monkey have shown that an intra-uterine device is contraceptive in this spec...

ABSTARCT Objectives: To determine the demographic pattern and clinical presentation of 23 infertile women with intraoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis followed by histopathologic confirmation. Methodology: A review of 23 consecutive infertile women that underwent surgery due to preoperative misdiagnosis for uterine fibroids over a period of 5 years. Results: The patients mean age was 37.3 years...

introduction pelvic pain results from many causes such as primary dysmenorrhea, uterine anomalies, menstrual outflow obstruction, endometriosis, myoma and adenomyosis. this study reports on a rare case of non-communicating functional rudimentary horn. case presentations a 15-year-old nulligravida young woman with a history of severe intermittent pelvic pain presented a 4-5 centimeter mass. a su...

more intimately the anatomical and pathological conditions present, not merely as regards the nature and extent of the peritoneal protrusions, but also with regard to the contents of the protrusions. Nothing is more instructive than the results found from a series of operations on young children; and having had the opportunity of operating upon a considerable number of young females for hernia,...

The uterus, ovary, and fallopian tube are rarely present in an inguinal hernia. We report on an operation to treat just such a rare condition for a right inguinal hernia. An 87-year-old Japanese woman was admitted with swelling in the right inguinal region and a purulent discharge from the vagina. Vital signs were stable, but the mobile mass was irreducible. Computed tomography of the abdomen i...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether the bacterial vaginosis biofilm extends into the upper female genital tract. STUDY DESIGN Endometrial samples obtained during curettage and fallopian tube samples obtained during salpingectomy were collected. Endometrial and fallopian tube samples were analyzed for the presence of bacteria with fluorescence-in-situ-hybridisation (FISH) analysis with probes targetin...

BACKGROUND To investigate the role of CD138 immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of chronic endometritis (CE) and the risk factors for assisted conception patients having CE complications. METHODS Ninety-three patients, with normal uterine shape confirmed by examination and who were planning to undergo assisted conception treatments, were selected as research subjects. Endometrial tissue was...

Primary fallopian tube tumors, which are rare gynecological malignancies that account for 0.14%-1.8% of genital malignancy, mainly affect women aged 40-65 years [1]. Diagnosing primary fallopian tube tumors is challenging, and case reports involving tumors managed using robot-assisted staging surgery are rare. However, we have reported here two cases with favourable prognoses of primary fallopi...
