Objective: Considering the importance of endometriosis and its relatively high prevalence among women, this study sought to investigate clinical and Transrectal and transvaginal ultrasounds (TVS) findings of disease.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed based on medical records of 155 women with endometriosis admitted to Rasool-e Akram Hospital in Tehran for a TVS. All the sonography data and patients' information were collected into checklists and analyzed in SPSS-25 software (IBM).
Results: The mean age of participants was 32.4 ± 6.1 years, ranging from 18 to 50 years. Endometrioma was prevalent in 129 patients (84.8%). Size of endometrioma (diameter) was more than 3 cm in 79.9% of patients, and 3 cm or fewer in 20.1% of cases. Bladder, intestinal, vaginal, and rectosigmoid involvements with endometriosis implants were observed in 4 (2.6%), 54 (35.5), 3 (0.2%), and 51 (33.5) of patients, respectively. A total of 64.5% of patients were diagnosed with incomplete stenosis of the Douglas pouch and 35.5% had complete stenosis. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) was less than 1 cm in 20.7%, 1 to 3 cm in 42.3%, and over 3 cm in 37% of patients. The most common manifestations of endometriosis Obliteration of the Douglas pouch, endometrioma, and DIE. In addition, imaging modalities have shown promising results, indicating the necessity to use transvaginal ultrasound as the first line of diagnosis in patients with clinically suspected endometriosis.

Feasible Techniques Named "Pure" Robotic Simple Hysterectomy With 4 Robotic Arms "4+0" Mode for Hysterectomy in da Vinci Xi.

Introduction: The three-arm approach is mainly selected, despite the multiple robotic arms in da Vinci Xi. This type of surgical setup may provide less autonomy to the console surgeon and result in greater dependence on the bedside surgical assistant. Therefore, the 4th arm is used instead of the assist port, which is why we developed "pure" robot simple hysterectomy (PRSH) as a novel surgical technique, in which all ports are operated by robotic arms.

Spontaneous transvaginal small bowel evisceration, without recent trauma or surgery, is extremely rare. Complications include bowel obstruction, perforation, gangrene, septicaemia and death, requiring urgent surgical intervention. We report a case of a woman in her late 60s, who presented with 70-75 cm of small intestine eviscerated through the vagina, alongside a long history of uterine and rectal prolapse.

Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis, affecting about 10% of individuals assigned female at birth, is difficult to diagnose and often requires surgical or MRI imaging methods, with MRI being quicker but less precise.
- - A significant diagnostic indicator is the obliteration of the Pouch of Douglas, yet even experienced clinicians find it hard to accurately classify this from MRI images, which makes training reliable AI models a challenge.
- - The paper introduces the HAICOMM methodology, which combines multi-rater and multi-modal learning with human-AI collaboration, leading to more accurate diagnoses of endometriosis compared to traditional methods and improving classification accuracy.
Impact of the uroperitoneum on the development of paralytic ileus: a preclinical study in the pig model.

Article Synopsis
- * In the experiment, urine was either aspirated from the bladder or leaked through the ureter into the peritoneum of seven minipigs, with samples taken at 4 and 10 hours for analysis of inflammatory response.
- * Results show that while urine in the peritoneum causes bowel distention, there was no significant inflammatory response in the visceral peritoneum within the 10-hour observation period, leading to questions about other mechanisms affecting bowel distention.
