Objective: Adenomyosis is a uterine pathology affecting an increasing number of women of childbearing age. Its diagnosis is based upon histology or imaging [ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)]. Several studies have investigated the impact of adenomyosis on obstetric complications, with its diagnosis based on clinical symptoms, ultrasound or composite criteria.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of cryoablation, a minimally invasive treatment, for patients with endometriosis located in the anterior abdominal wall, involving 29 patients over 6 months.
  • - Cryoablation was performed under imaging guidance, with nearly half of the procedures done under local anesthesia, resulting in minor complications and significant pain reduction from baseline to 6 months.
  • - At the 6-month follow-up, approximately 72% of patients experienced complete symptom relief, although some reported ongoing symptoms or had MRI-confirmed residual disease.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to describe the different laparoscopic and vaginal steps of sub-urethral infected mesh explantation as well as an unexpected and unusual complication: a sub-mucosal calcification on the sub-urethral segment of the sling that was not infiltrating the urethra.

Methods: This was carried out at our University Teaching Hospital of Strasbourg.

Results: We show the complete removal of an infected retropubic sling in a patient who had already undergone three previous surgeries without resolution of symptoms.

Article Synopsis
  • Women's preoperative hopes and fears about cystocele repair often differ from those of their surgeons, highlighting a gap in understanding.
  • A study analyzed responses from 265 women, revealing prevalent hopes related to prolapse repair (60%) and fears of prolapse relapse (38%).
  • Surgeons' expectations aligned closely with women's, but only 60% of women reported prolapse repair as a key expectation, suggesting the need for enhanced communication between patients and surgeons regarding individual concerns and goals.

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent research has revealed a likely connection between endometriosis and the cardiovascular system, worth exploring due to its potential implications for women's health.
  • * Current studies show only limited associations between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease, indicating a need for more comprehensive research to identify the clinical significance and pathways for early diagnosis and prevention.

Study Objective: To demonstrate a systematic approach to the laparoscopic en bloc pelvic resection with rectosigmoid resection and anastomosis as part of ovarian cancer treatment in a tertiary gynecologic surgery referral center.

Design: This video illustrates an en bloc pelvic resection performed par laparoscopy in 10 steps.

Setting: A 56-year-old patient with an advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer extending into the rectum was amenable to primary debulking surgery in accordance with the French guidelines [1].

Cystic adenomyosis is an unusual form of adenomyosis, characterized by a well-circumscribed cavitated endometrial gland and stroma, ≥ 1 cm in diameter, located within the myometrium. Few cases have been reported in the gynecological literature, with confusing naming such as: juvenile cystic adenomyosis, cystic myometrial lesions, cystic adenomyoma or juvenile adenomyotic cysts. The current preferred terminology is accessory cavitated uterine mass /or malformation (ACUM).

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common disease in women, which requires a medical and surgical approach. Surgical societies recommend a multidisciplinary management in tertiary referral centers. The objective of our study is to assess the surgical management of endometriosis in France by studying the surgeons' attitude for bowel and urinary endometriosis.

Objective: We aimed to present two cases of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and a literature review to discuss their management.

Cases: We reported two cases of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treated in Strasbourg's University Hospital between 2016 and 2018 and carried out an updated literature review concerning their treatment.

Results: The first case is a superficial implantation CSP managed by methotrexate (MTX) then ligation of the uterine arteries and echo-guided aspiration.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a non-invasive surgical assistance based on augmented reality (AR) in the detection of ureters on animal model.

Method: After an experimental prototyping step on two pigs to determine the optimal conditions for visualization of the ureter in AR, three pigs were operated three times at 1 week intervals. The intervention consisted of an identification of the ureter, with and without the assistance of AR.

Article Synopsis
  • Absolute uterine factor infertility affects thousands of young women in France, leading to the development of uterus transplantation as a solution since the first successful birth in 2014.
  • The French College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians established a committee in 2015 to promote this technology, creating criteria for Uterus Transplantation Centres.
  • The committee's guidelines detail the responsibilities of these centres in areas such as patient care, training, research, and geographical coverage to effectively manage patients needing uterus transplants.

Unlabelled: Improved performances in gynaecological ultrasonography have enabled an increasing number of often asymptomatic endometrial polyps to be detected. Most of these polyps are removed surgically, as a precautionary measure, so as not to miss a case of endometrial cancer. Nonetheless, this management strategy is based solely on the sonographer's judgement and a number of these operations, which are probably of no benefit, could be avoided.

Background: The aim of this study was to describe the surgical approach to, and evaluate the reproductive outcome of, a T-shaped uterus.

Methods: The study included 97 women who were eligible for hysteroscopic surgery, by either monopolar or bipolar electrosurgical instruments. All had diagnostic hysteroscopy 2 months afterwards to assess the success of the procedure and determine whether any synechiae were present.
