We present a case of vaginal ectopic ureter with ipsilateral partial duplication of the upper ureter (Y-type ureter), ipsilateral hypoplastic pelvic kidney and bicornuate uterus in a 20-year-old woman who presented with mild urinary incontinence since infancy. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and intravenous pyelography examination showed a left kidney with no evidence of a right kidney. Cy...

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic locations. It is estimated that 5 million women of reproductive age, or 10 percent of women, in the United States, are affected by this disease.1 Approximately 20 percent of women with chronic pelvic pain and 30–45 percent of women with infertility have endometriosis.2 Endometrial tissue outside the ute...

The value of interventional ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of submucous myoma of the uterus was assessed to study the ultrasonographic features of modified sonohysterography for submucous polyp of uterus. A total of 25 patients diagnosed preliminarily as submucous myoma of the uterus via conventional ultrasound examination from June 2014 to December 2016 were enrolled in the study. T...

Only rarely has the physiologically and dinically important organ, the uterus, been employed as a site for the growth of transplantable tumors. Guyer and Claus3 made a study of the effects of the Flexner-Jobling carcinoma transplanted into the uterus upon the cytology of the pituitary of the rat. In this and in a more extended study by Mohs and Guyer,9 it was found that in rats the endometrium ...

Spontaneous perforation of the uterus is rare, its incidence being about 0.01%-0.05%. We report a rare case of diffuse peritonitis caused by spontaneously perforated pyometra. A 63-year-old woman with severe abdominal pain was admitted to our hospital. Laparotomy was performed because of the suspicion of gastrointestinal perforation with generalized peritonitis. At laparotomy, about 900 mL of p...

Findings: In the literature, the mechanisms of action of LNG-IUS as a contraceptive include impairment of sperm transport through the cervix due to thick cervical mucus and through the uterus due to inflammatory changes in the endometrium affecting sperm transport and function, and possibly fertilisation and implantation are impaired. The evidence from the literature shows that following long-t...

Until today, there is no standardized Cesarean Section method and many variations exist. The main variations concern the type of abdominal incision, usage of abdominal packs, suturing the uterus in one or two layers, and suturing the peritoneal layers or leaving them open. One of the questions is the optimal location of opening the uterus. Recently, omission of the bladder flap was recommended....

In the female, Müllerian ducts will develop to form the uterine tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper one-third of the vagina; in the male, they are lost. This abnormal development can lead to uterine malformations resulting from aplasia of a part of Müllerian duct. Morphological abnormalities can vary from insufficient fission of tissues causing bicornuate uterus, double uterus or preserved ute...

INTRODUCTION Omental hernias are rare and difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to a lack of specific symptoms. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of adhesional omental hernia diagnosed at laparoscopy. A 38 year-old female patient with evidence of a previous caesarean section presented with an acute abdomen. We found there were omental bands stuck onto the anterior wall of the uterus, a...
