OBJECTIVE To estimate the feasibility and safety of single-incision multiport laparoscopy (SIMPL) used in patients who underwent laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) for gynecologic disease, and the cosmetic outcome and economic benefit compared with multichannel-tipped single port laparoscopy (MSPL). INTERVENTION We underwent LESS via a single 2.5- to 3.0-cm umbilical incision with th...

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...

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...

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...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common complex and heterogeneous endocrine disorder in women with uncertain aetiology. The syndrome is associated with a wide range of symptoms and the diagnosis is based on the Rotterdam criteria. This review describes the currently available evidence regarding the therapeutic challenges raised in these women. Before any intervention is initi...
