background: while myoma is the most common pelvic mass of women, most women do not seek screening tests for uterine myoma and if they have any fibroid they are not volunteer for its surgical removal. case: we present here a novel technique of vascular skeletonization to preserve uterus, making pregnancy possible for an infertile woman with a large uterine myoma, situated in the uterine lower se...

OBJECTIVE A prominent stress reaction in the pelvis of women with endometriosis and the role of human heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) in inflammation and the growth of endometriosis has been recently demonstrated. We report here expression of HSP70 in tissues derived from GnRH agonist (GnRHa)-untreated and -treated women with adenomyosis and uterine myoma. STUDY DESIGN This is a case-controlled...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study is to evaluate the long term effects of estrogen-progestogen therapy (EPT) on uterine myomas volume in postmenopausal women. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis on postmenopausal women with asymptomatic uterine myoma during the period between April, 2008 and September, 2012. Postmenopause was defined as amenorrhea for longer than a year or ser...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A recent FDA safety communication has discouraged the use of a power morcellator for myoma extraction and has called for a change in surgical techniques for myomectomy. The objective of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of laparoscopic single-, two-, and conventional three-port myomectomy and to evaluate the feasibility of contained manual morcellation for ute...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) is technically difficult and time consuming procedure that requires surgical skill and modifications. The aim of this study was to assess factors which affect operative times in LM. METHODS From March 2003 to June 2007, 174 women, who underwent LM for symptomatic myomas, were enrolled. Standard LM was performed in the first 4 years and simultaneous morc...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Despite the high prevalence of uterine leiomyoma, according to recent review studies there is uncertainty and a paucity of information regarding its predisposing or protective factors. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association between menstrual cycle pattern and occurrence of surgically treated myomas and also to check if depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (D...

BACKGROUND Leiomyomas are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. Removal of the prolapsed pedunculated submucous myoma represents a distinct entity. Evaluation and treatment of such cases may need intervention via the hymen.Mini-laparotomic management of a pedunculated submucous myoma while preserving hymen integrity in a virginal patient is described as a safe alternative.. CASE A 30-y...

In summary, I believe that the laparoscopic assisted vaginal myomectomy is a technique that is appropriate for women who have a number of uterine myomas, especially deep intramural myomas with at least 1 large sentinel myoma. The sentinel myoma is removed laparoscopically; the culpotomy is then performed; the uterus is delivered into the vaginal area through culpotomy and the remainder of the m...

background: uterine leiomyoma is the most common tumor among the female in the reproductive period. the first step to control the tumor is employing medical treatment. currently gnrh agonists are the most common drugs for medical therapy of uterine myoma.  climacteric-like symptoms and osteoporosis and recurrence of the size of tumor after gnrh agonists consumption are among the most common sid...

Uterine myoma and adenomyoma are the most common benign tumors of the uterus. Ultrasound Imaging is the widely used method in the diagnosis of both the disease conditions; however the diagnosis strongly depends on the physician’s expertise and ultrasound system quality. These drawbacks have motivated the development of computer aided applications for the quantitative analysis of ultrasound imag...
