Research Question: To compare stimulated cycle (STC) versus modified natural cycle (MNC) for endometrial preparation prior to frozen embryo transfer (FET) in terms of convenience and efficacy.
Design: Prospective, open-label, randomized controlled study including 119 patients aged 20-38 years, undergoing intra-conjugal IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection, having regular cycles, at least two day 2 or day 3 frozen embryos, for whom it was the first or second FET performed, randomized to either MNC (n = 59) or STC (n = 60). Monitoring consisted of ultrasound and hormonal measurements.
Background: Post-operative residual tumor size is the main prognostic factor in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. Our objective was to develop a score for predicting the feasibility of complete cytoreductive surgery in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
Material And Methods: Using data from a retrospective cohort of 123 patients with advanced ovarian cancer, we developed a score for predicting complete cytoreductive surgery, by performing multiple logistic regression after a jackknife procedure.
Introduction: Improved knowledge of recurrence sites after contemporary surgical management of ovarian cancer is needed.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients managed for epithelial ovarian or tubal cancer with surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2009, in a tertiary teaching hospital. The site of first recurrence was recorded.

Objective: To assess adhesion formation and fertility outcome after transient abdominal ovariopexy performed in patients with severe endometriosis.
Study Design: Retrospective study including 218 patients who underwent surgery for severe endometriosis from 1997 to 2009. One hundred and thirty-nine (64%) patients were infertile.
