Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of gasless reduced-port laparoscopic myomectomy (GRP-LM) using a subcutaneous abdominal wall lifting method.
Methods: In GRP-LM, after lifting the abdominal wall by a subcutaneous abdominal wall lifting method, a 1.5-cm incision is made in the lateral abdomen, Lap Protector is placed.
Study Objective: We produced virtual hysteroscopy (VH) images from the images obtained after expanding the uterine cavity of patients with submucosal myomas and performing multidetector-row computed tomography scans, and assessed them in comparison with hysteroscopic imaging and in relation to the advantages of VH.
Design: Cohort-control study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: Tokyo Medical University Hospital department of obstetrics and gynecology.
Purpose: To assess myometrial invasion and cervical invasion by endometrial carcinoma, using CO2-volumetric interpolated breathhold examination (VIBE) enabling more precise evaluation of depth of tumor invasion.
Materials And Methods: CO2-VIBE was performed in 21 cases of endometrial carcinoma (Stage Ia-IIb) prior to treatment. The images were interpreted by performing multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), and the findings obtained from the images (degree of myometrial invasion and presence or absence of cervical invasion) were assessed in comparison with the histopathological diagnosis.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical outcome of nephroureterectomy with endoscopically assisted transurethral ureteral stripping for transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis in a comparative study.
Methods: Sixty patients with localized renal pelvic cancer were enrolled in a prospective comparative nonrandomized study. Of these, 28 patients underwent nephroureterectomy with endoscopically assisted transurethral ureteral stripping and 32 underwent conventional nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff.
The evolution of therapy for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors is one of the true success stories in oncology. Treatment outcome has improved greatly thanks to cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy. According to the well-established treatment guidelines for advanced cases, we treated a case of stage IV undifferentiated germ cell tumor in which we were able to preserve the patient's fertility.
