Transcervical radiofrequency ablation of focal adenomyosis: pilot results.

Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease, which occurs in women in reproductive age and is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain as well as infertility can be associated with adenomyosis. There are two main types of adenomyosis: diffuse and focal.

Clinical and Surgical Characteristics of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: A Multicenter Case Series of 80 Women.

Background/aim: Endometriosis of the abdominal wall (AWE) is poorly understood because of its rarity and heterogeneous nature. The aim of this study was to investigate and present the clinical and surgical characteristics of AWE and to propose its classification.

Patients And Methods: This was a multicentric retrospective study.

Laparoscopic Approach in Bladder Endometriosis, Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes.

Background/aim: Endometriosis is a benign condition affecting 10-20% of women at reproductive age. The urinary tract is affected in 0.3-12.

Delayed expulsion of a large fibroid after transcervical radiofrequency ablation: A case report.

Fibroids are the most common type of benign uterine tumor, which occur up to 68.6% of women. Hypermenorrhea is the most common symptom with a general prevalence of 40%-54%, followed by dysmenorrhea and low abdominal pain.

Are double-J stents in surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis always necessary? A retrospective analysis.

Introduction: The therapy of deep infiltrating endometriosis places the highest demands. Double-J (DJ) stent insertion is recommended preoperatively. However, we could not find any publication in PubMed that showed the relevant advantages of double-J stent insertion in surgery of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).

Transcervical intrauterine radiofrequency ablation of fibroids in high-risk patients with bleeding disorder.

Objectives: To show the advantages of transcervical radiofrequency ablation (TRFA) in high-risk patients with bleeding disorder.

Material And Methods: It is a retrospective analysis. The study included only patients with known pre-existing conditions (obesity, cardiac and neurological disease, coagulation disorder, anaemia) or post-surgical conditions who were treated with the Sonata® System for fibroid-related bleeding complaints at Academic Hospital Cologne Weyertal between January 2015 and March 2021.

Combined procedure of the transcervical radiofrequency ablation (TRFA) system and surgical hysteroscopy. Increased risk or safe procedure?

Introduction: The advantage of transcervical radiofrequency ablation (TRFA) is that it is minimally invasive, incision-free, and treats a wide spectrum of fibroids, including those that are not accessible by surgical hysteroscopy (FIGO 3, 4, 5, 6, and 2-5). However, there are no publications describing a combined procedure of operative hysteroscopy and TRFA yet, so it was still unknown whether a combined procedure is associated with additional risks.

Aim: To report the combined technique of transcervical intrauterine radiofrequency ablation of fibroids and surgical hysteroscopy.

The significance of transcervical ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of symptomatic fibroids: results of an expert consensus from German-speaking countries.

Uterine fibroids are one of the most common diseases in female patients, lead mainly to bleeding disorders and lower abdominal pain, and reduce the chance of having children. In recent years we have seen a trend towards more and more pharmacotherapies and minimally invasive organ-preserving treatments. One novel and innovative procedure for an organ-preserving treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids is the transcervical ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (TRFA).

Significance of Ki67 expression in endometriosis for infertility.

Objective: The aim of the study was to show the significance of Ki67 expression in endometriosis for infertility.

Study Design: It was a retrospective analysis. 670 cases were analyzed.

Transcervical radiofrequency ablation of fibroids that are 5 cm or larger in women with abnormal uterine bleeding.

Introduction: Fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumors. Transcervical radiofrequency ablation with the Sonata® System offers a minimally invasive, incisionfree, organ-preserving therapy, with intraoperative visualization of fibroids using intrauterine ultrasound guidance. To demonstrate the effectiveness of transcervical radiofrequency ablation of fibroids that are 5 cm or larger using the Sonata® System, this retrospective analysis was collected.

Coexistence of endometriomas with extraovarian endometriosis and adhesions.

Objective: The aim of the study is to show the coexistence of the endometriomas with peritoneal and deep infiltrating endometriosis, as well as with the adhesions. Study design It's a randomized retrospective study. Patients treated for endometrioma at Academic Hospital Cologne Weyertal from January 2014 to October 2019 were included.
