background: ovarian fibroma is the most common benign solid tumor of the ovary, which is often difficult to diagnose preoperatively. the choice treatment for ovarian fibroma is surgical removal, but discussions for the operative approach, laparoscopic or open, in the literature seem to be scant. case presentation: we presented a unique clinical experience of laparoscopic approach to a case of 1...

background: benign ovarian cysts are common among both pre- and postmenstrual women. surgical intervention for excision of an ovarian cyst is mandated when symptomatic, or chance for malignancy is high. the damaging effect of surgical ovarian cystectomy on ovarian reserve is debated in recent studies. objective: in the present study we investigated serum level of anti-mullerian hormone (amh) as...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Infertility due to pelvic radiation for advanced rectal cancer treatment is a major concern particularly in young patients. Pre-radiation laparoscopic ovarian transposition may offer preservation of ovarian function during the treatment however its use is limited. AIM The study investigates the safety, feasibility and effectiveness of pre-radiation laparoscopic ovaria...

context in order to restore ovulation, puncturing ovaries with a needle powered by electricity, under laparoscopic observation, in women with anovulatory infertility with polycystic ovarian syndrome is called laparoscopic ovarian drilling (lod). although peri-adnexial adhesion after the surgery is inevitable, there is lack of evidence regarding the clinical significance. the objective of the pr...

The standard treatment of ovarian cancer includes upfront surgery with intent to accurately diagnose and stage the disease and to perform maximal cytoreduction, followed by chemotherapy in most cases. Surgical staging of ovarian cancer traditionally has included exploratory laparotomy with peritoneal washings, hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, multiple peritoneal biopsies, and p...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of laparoscopic ovarian drilling in treating infertile polycystic ovarian syndrome in patients with and without metabolic syndrome. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING A university-affiliated hospital in Hong Kong. PATIENTS A total of 89 infertile anovulatory polycystic ovarian syndrome patients, who underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling with completed ...

consensus has been reached in regard to laparoscopic surgery as surgery for benign ovarian tumors, and it is being performed widely. However, there have been no comparative studies in regard to performing laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cancer that have been conducted by a randomized controlled study design. Research thus far has been limited to prospective and retrospective studies up to leve...

BACKGROUND The effects of ovarian drilling on the serum levels of gonadotropins and androgens have been studied previously. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of ovarian drilling on the serum prolactin levels and its relation to ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS This is a prospective controlled study. Thirty-six women with PCOS underwent ovarian electroc...
