Perioperative and reproductive outcomes' comparison of mini-laparotomy and laparoscopic myomectomy in the management of uterine leiomyomas: a systematic review.

Objective: To evaluate and compare mini-laparotomy (MLPT) with laparoscopic (LPS) myomectomy perioperative and reproductive outcomes.

Methods: We systematically searched for related articles in the MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane library databases. Nine studies (4 randomized, 3 retrospective, 1 prospective and 1 case-control study) which involved 1723 patients met the inclusion criteria and were considered eligible for inclusion.

Glomus Tumor of the Kidney Harboring Malignant Potential.

Glomus tumors are rare, benign, vascular neoplasms arising from the glomus body. Although they occasionally develop in any part of the body, they do so more common in the upper extremities, most frequently subungual areas. An extensive review of the literature revealed less than thirty cases of primary renal glomus tumors.

Impact on ovarian reserve after minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy in patients with benign ovarian cysts: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background/aim: The purpose of this article is to review the published literature on single-port laparoscopic (SPL) ovarian cystectomy and to assess whether the reduced port number affects the ovarian reserve in comparison with the conventional multiport laparoscopic (MPL) ovarian cystectomy.

Materials And Methods: It has been suggested that the most accurate marker of ovarian reserve is the Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). A review of the current literature was performed based on the preoperative and postoperative AMH after SPL and MPL ovarian cystectomy in adult patients with benign ovarian cysts.

Prostatosymphyseal Fistula After Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate: A Very Rare Complication of a Transurethral Surgery.

Prostatosymphyseal fistula (PSF) is a very rare complication described after transurethral surgery of the prostate including photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) with GreenLight laser (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA). Sporadic cases have also been reported in the literature as side effects of pelvic radiation therapy. We present a 65-year-old male patient who underwent PVP as an elective procedure for the treatment of severe lower urinary tract symptoms.
