Vaginal Uterine Morcellation Within a Specimen Containment System: A Study of Bag Integrity.

Study Objective: To evaluate the integrity of the endoscopic bag after transvaginal in-bag morcellation of uteri that need to be removed by vaginal morcellation during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH).

Design: Prospective pilot study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).

Setting: University hospital.

Determinants of long-term clinically detected recurrence rates of deep, ovarian, and pelvic endometriosis.

Objective: This study was undertaken to analyze the frequency and the determinants of long-term clinically detectable recurrence rate of deep, ovarian, and pelvic endometriosis.

Study Design: The clinical data of 1106 women with first diagnosis of endometriosis observed between 1979 and 2001 were collected.

Results: The 4-year recurrence rate was 24.

Ovarian recovery after laparoscopic enucleation of ovarian cysts: insights from echographic short-term postsurgical follow-up.

Study Objective: To evaluate damage to ovarian reserve following laparoscopic cystectomy of benign ovarian cysts.

Design: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).

Setting: Tertiary gynecologic endoscopic unit at a university-affiliated hospital.
