We present a case of a woman in her 50s with a rapidly expanding giant serous cystadenofibroma of the ovary. The 40-kg mass displaced her bowel and splinted her diaphragm, …
This study evaluated the diagnostic potential of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with machine learning for the detection of ovarian, bowel, and peritoneal endometriosis. The Boruta algorithm was applied to …
In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, …
The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of two laparoscopic techniques for bowel endometriosis and determine the optimal laparoscopic segmental resection technique with mesentery preservation.
Cesarean delivery is a common procedure, currently accounting for one-third of live births in the US. In the acute post-operative setting, it can be difficult to distinguish changes of the …
Rectal endometriosis is a complex condition requiring multidisciplinary treatment. Accurate preoperative assessment is critical for selecting the appropriate surgical technique, with transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) being key …
The advent of a single port robotic platform offers many potential improvements compared with single incision laparoscopy for both patients and surgeons. However, the technology will likely be prohibitively expensive …
The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hospitals …
Endometriosis and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two common diseases with overlapping symptomatology, causing confusion and delay in the diagnostic process. The objective of this study was to identify differences …
Shaoyao Gancao Decoction, a classic formula from Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty, has the effects of regulating the function of the liver, relieving spasm and stopping pain. Traditionally, it …
