Objective: To study the effects of laparoscopic ovarian cauterization and combination of long-acting GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) and oral contraceptive (OC) therapy on endocrine changes in women with clomiphene citrate (CC)- resistant polycystic ovary disease (PCOD).
Design: Prospective, randomized.
Setting: University-based infertility clinic.
Patients: Seventeen women with CC-resistant PCOD were included randomly in the study to either laparoscopic ovarian cautery or GnRH-a and OC therapy for 3 months.
Main Outcome Measures: Serum concentrations of LH, FSH, androstenedione (A), T, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) were determined before each therapeutic approach and during the follicular phase of first menstrual cycle after the cessation of each treatment.
Results: The mean serum concentrations and the clinical profiles were similar in both groups. Both groups showed significant changes in LH, FSH, A, T, and SHBG compared with pretreatment levels. There were no significant differences in the final concentrations of LH, FSH, and A between the two study groups after each treatment, whereas T and SHBG levels were significantly different in the goserelin and OC group. The decrease in LH and increase in SHBG serum concentrations were greater in the goserelin and OC-treated women [-59% and + 5.9% versus - 70% and + 13.5%, respectively]. Although the SHBG concentration increased in both groups, the serum SHBG concentration of the goserelin and OC group was significantly higher than the other group.
Conclusion: Both therapeutic modalities revealed similar effects on the endocrine profiles in women with CC-resistant PCOD. Considering the invasiveness, cost, and potential complications of laparoscopic ovarian cauterization, noninvasive medical treatment with GnRH-a and OC combination may be more effective in restoring the optimal follicular environment in women with PCOD.

To assess the impact of the lymph node dissection (LND) technique on short- and long-term complications. This retrospective review included patients who underwent hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and pelvic ± para-aortic LND for gynecological malignancies (cervical, endometrial, and ovarian) from 2020 to 2022 in our Gynecological Oncology Surgery clinic. Among 147 patients who underwent pelvic LND for gynecological malignancy, 48 had procedures involving scissors and 99 had procedures involving unipolar cautery.

Purpose: Laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts is often conducted through hemostatic methods, with bipolar electrocoagulation as a common approach. This study evaluated the impact of electrocoagulation, primarily through bipolar energy, versus nonthermal hemostatic methods on ovarian reserve in patients undergoing laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts.
Methods: A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted by searching the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to compare the ovarian reserve after cystectomy of ovarian endometrioma by bipolar coagulation, suture method, or hemostatic sealants (HSs).
Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of studies in which post-cystectomy serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) values were compared between bipolar coagulation and suture method or between bipolar coagulation and HSs. Through a literature search, we retrieved 14 articles which met inclusion criteria and were eligible for final analysis.
