Severe pelvic infections following ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) are rare but challenging. Ovarian abscess formation is one of the consequences and management of such cases as highly debated in pregnant patients. In this case report, an early fetal loss following laparoscopic management of ovarian abscess is described and possible etiologies are discussed.

Background: Endometrioma is a common cause of gynecologic morbidity and the most common benign ovarian cysts are found at surgery. One of the most troubling aspects of treating endometrioma with laparoscopic excision is disease recurrence after surgery. Present study was conducted to evaluate risk factors for the recurrence of endometrioma after first laparoscopic excision. Materials and Method...

BACKGROUND Primary leiomyoma of the ovary is a rare benign ovarian tumor that only seldom causes acute abdomen. CASE SUMMARY A 35-year-old gravida 1, para 0 woman presented with a history of acute lower abdominal pain, and 10 weeks of amenorrhea. The patient's physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness, defense, and rebound. On ultrasonographic examination, a solid mass measuring 9.3 ...

Elucidating neuronal circuits and their plasticity in the cerebral cortex is one of the important questions in neuroscience research. Here we report novel axonal trajectories and their plasticity in the mouse somatosensory barrel cortex. We selectively visualized layer 2/3 neurons using in utero electroporation and examined the axonal trajectories of layer 2/3 neurons. We found that the axons o...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The application of laparoscopic techniques in the surgical management of neonatal ovarian cysts is proving valuable both as a diagnostic tool and a potential therapeutic intervention. We report the successful management of a prenatally diagnosed ovarian cyst in a newborn female and provide operative evidence for the presumptive etiology of the cyst. METHODS AND RESUL...

Background/Objective: To evaluate factors which increase the chance of ovulation and pregnancy after laparoscopic ovarian electerocauterization (LEC) in Clomiphene Citrate (CC) resistant polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.Methods: An experimental prospective study was carried out in the infertility division of a university teaching hospital. Two hundred and ninety-nine women with PCOS ...

Borderline ovarian serous tumors are a rare distinct category of epithelial ovarian tumors, distinguished from both benign and invasive ovarian tumors. As borderline ovarian cysts are only a small part of the gynecological conditions of children, the therapeutic approach to this special type of tumor has not been standardized yet. Despite the technological breakthroughs that we have witnessed l...

OBJECTIVE Idiopathic headache is a stressful complaint, whose treatment is not well established. Our study is an attempt to examine the relationship between idiopathic headache and inferior turbinate cauterization as a surgical treatment, and to explain the central physiological effect of cauterization. METHODS Thirty-four patients, 15 females and 19 males complaining of idiopathic headache w...
