Stepwise approach of hysteroscopic cytoreductive surgery for adenomyosis in patients with recurrent implantation failure.

Objective: To study the value of hysteroscopic cytoreductive surgery for adenomyotic lesions to improve reproductive outcomes. We describe a feasible and novel minimal invasive stepwise approach, which did not result in postoperative adhesion formation and restored favorable reproductive outcomes.

Design: Video article.

1 vs 3 days laparoscopic suturing courses: is it feasible to design a valid training curriculum?

Background: Laparoscopic skills are unlikely to be achieved exclusively in the operating theatre, so simulation training has become mandatory to acquire specific psychomotor skills to be merged in a more complex procedure.

Objective: To compare 3-day vs. 1-day laparoscopic suturing courses and to better address participants' needs according to their level of experience.

Sacrohysteropexy: A Way to Spare the Uterus.

Study Objective: To show the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy for treating uterine prolapse.

Design: An educational video to explain the laparoscopic steps of this procedure by focusing on the main anatomic landmarks and on tips and tricks to avoid complications.

Setting: A tertiary care university hospital.

Laparoscopic promontofixation: Where to stop the anterior dissection?

Background: Laparoscopic promontofixation is the gold standard to treat apical defects but the dissection of the anterior compartment is variable since based on surgical judgment only. We therefore evaluate the placement of the anterior mesh using an ultrasonographic measurement after promontofixation.

Design: A prospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force Classification II-1) was conducted between January 2015 and September 2015.

Effect of Anterior Compartment Endometriosis Excision on Infertility.

Background And Objectives: Laparoscopic surgical excision of bladder nodules has been demonstrated to be effective in relieving associated painful symptoms; the data are lacking concerning the impact of anterior compartment endometriosis on infertility. We conducted this study to evaluate whether or not the surgical excision of deep endometriosis affecting the anterior compartment plays a role in restoring fertility.

Methods: This multicentre, retrospective study included a group of 55 patients presenting with otherwise-unexplained infertility who had undergone laparoscopic excision of anterior compartment endometriosis with histological confirmation.

Laparoscopic Dissection of the Pelvic Ureter: Rules of Engagement.

Study Objective: To point out the relevant anatomy of the ureter and to demonstrate its rules of dissection.

Design: An educational video to explain how to use ureteral relevant anatomy and the principle of dissection to perform safe ureterolysis during laparoscopic procedures.

Setting: A tertiary care university hospital and endometriosis referential center.

A novel data storage logic in the cloud.

Databases which store and manage long-term scientific information related to life science are used to store huge amount of quantitative attributes. Introduction of a new entity attribute requires modification of the existing data tables and the programs that use these data tables. The solution is increasing the virtual data tables while the number of screens remains the same.

Nonsurgical Alternatives for Uterine Fibroids.

Uterine leiomyomata are the direct cause of a significant health-care burden for women, their families, and society as a whole. Because of the long experience with the mode of treatment, surgical myomectomy remains the gold standard for treating reproductive-age women; however, in the recent years, the wide evolution of less invasive approaches led to a change in the options used by the clinician to treat symptomatic fibroids. Minimally invasive procedures such as uterine artery embolization (UAE) are increasingly used to treat symptomatic fibroids.

Impact of Laparoscopic Surgical Management of Deep Endometriosis on Pregnancy Rate.

Study Objective: To evaluate the impact of laparoscopic excision of lesions on deep endometriosis-related infertility.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Endometriosis tertiary referral center (Canadian Task Force II-2).
