Relationship between the serum cancer antigen 125 level and the weight of surgically enucleated adenomyosis.

Elevated serum levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) are known to occur in adenomyosis. However, the relationship between the severity of adenomyosis and serum CA125 levels has not yet been elucidated. The present study aimed to examine the correlation between the weight of adenomyosis and the serum CA125 level.

Difference in reproductive performance between two subtypes of bicornuate uterus.

Purpose: We compared reproductive outcome in patients with two subtypes of bicornuate uterus who underwent a Strassmann metroplasty procedure.

Methods: Eleven patients diagnosed using the R-AFS definition were divided into partial and complete type, then reproductive outcome following a Strassmann metroplasty was evaluated.

Results: All four patients with the partial type anomaly conceived and achieved a live birth, while none of the seven with the complete type anomaly were able to conceive.

Association of uterine wall thickness with pregnancy outcome following uterine-sparing surgery for diffuse uterine adenomyosis.

Background: The risk of uterine rupture is a major concern for women who become pregnant after undergoing an adenomyomectomy.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of uterine wall thickness with pregnancy outcome.

Materials And Methods: Uterine wall thickness was measured using sonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging in 23 pregnant women who underwent uterine-sparing surgery for diffuse uterine adenomyosis prior to conception.

Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis in patient with successful pregnancy following new surgical management.

Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis is associated with significant infertility and miscarriage complications. Appropriate diagnosis and therapy is essential. A 33-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of GnRH analogue treatment-resistant multiple myomas and infertility.

New myomectomy technique for diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a new myomectomy technique for diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis.

Material And Methods: To enucleate multiple myomas, we developed a novel myomectomy technique involving longitudinal dissection of the uterus in the midline. On each side of the anterior and posterior walls, the uterine wall was further divided into two pieces from the incision site.
