Impact of the difference in diagnostic criteria for adolescent polycystic ovary syndrome excluding polycystic ovarian morphology.

Aim: Exclusion of polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) from the diagnostic criteria for adolescent polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been proposed. We analyzed the profiles of adolescent women with suspected PCOS based on the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG) diagnostic and Rotterdam criteria, excluding those with PCOM.

Methods: Thirteen- to twenty-one-year-old women with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of PCOS according to the JSOG and Rotterdam criteria were included in this study.

Factors related to clearance of the small pelvic cavity during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.

Aim: To identify factors influencing the Trendelenburg angle required during laparoscopic gynecological surgery.

Methods: Patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery at a single university hospital between May 1, 2019, and March 31, 2021 were enrolled. Data were extracted from the medical records, while magnetic resonance imaging scans and all laparoscopic surgery videos were retrospectively reviewed to assess the presence of the small intestine in the pelvic cavity as well as the adhesions at each site.

Anti-Müllerian hormone beyond an ovarian reserve marker: the relationship with the physiology and pathology in the life-long follicle development.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), an indirect indicator of the number of remaining follicles, is clinically used as a test for ovarian reserve. Typically, a decline suggests a decrease in the number of remaining follicles in relation to ovarian toxicity caused by interventions, which may implicate fertility. In contrast, serum AMH levels are elevated in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Serum leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein as a possible marker for inflammatory status in endometriosis.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether serum leucine-rich α2-glycoprotein (LRG) is a useful diagnostic biomarker for endometriosis, including the evaluation of treatment efficacy and exploration of LRG production in endometriotic lesions.

Methods: Forty-three women with endometriomas were compared to 22 women with benign ovarian cysts and 30 women who underwent assisted reproduction as controls. Changes in serum LRG levels were assessed before and after surgery, and during dienogest treatment.

Effect of salpingectomy on ovarian reserve: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To determine the effect of salpingectomy on ovarian reserve.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Dynamed plus, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register databases were searched from their inception to December 2020 to identify relevant studies, including cross-sectional studies, retrospective studies, and randomized controlled trials. Studies that compared anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and/or antral follicle count (AFC) between the control and salpingectomy groups or before and after surgery were included.

Live birth by cesarean section after rupture of uterine cornua in simultaneous corneal and intrauterine pregnancies.

A patient became pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). She had a history of laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy and enucleation of a left ovarian tumor due to bilateral hydrosalpinx and left endometriotic cyst in primary infertility. She noticed abdominal pain and visited the nearby general hospital by ambulance (gestational age 6 weeks and 1 day).
