Cervical Regeneration Following Monopolar Electrosurgical Conization: A Prospective Evaluation of Volume, Length, and Transformation Zone Reformation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cervical regeneration process following monopolar electrosurgical conization (MESC), using a multimodal approach including ultrasonographic, cytologic, colposcopic, and histologic assessments, and to determine the relationship between the extent of excision and the capacity for cervical tissue regeneration. This prospective observational study included 28 patients who underwent MESC due to abnormal cervical cytology or biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Preoperative, postoperative one month and six month cervical measurements were obtained using two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography.

Vaginal Adsorbent Gel as a Therapeutic Agent: Is a New Era Beginning for HPV?

Persistent Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the cervix and the preinvasive lesions it causes are significant risk factors for cervical cancer. Therefore, a treatment strategy is necessary to facilitate the clearance of HPV and prevent the progression of preinvasive lesions without causing cervical tissue destruction. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a vaginal adsorbent gel composed of a hydroxyethyl cellulose matrix formulation containing dispersed silicon dioxide, antioxidant sodium selenite, deflamin, and citric acid in patients with HPV infection.

Sensitivity of frozen section analysis in patients with ovarian adult granulosa cell tumor, a multi-center study.

Introduction: We aimed to demonstrate the sensitivity of frozen section for patients with adult granulosa cell tumor (AGCT) and analyze the clinico-pathological factors that may be associated with sensitivity.

Material Methods: This is a multicenter study including data of 10 Gynecological Oncology Departments. Frozen-section results of patients who had ovarian AGCT at the final pathology report were retrospectively analyzed.

Defining the relationship between ovarian adult granulosa cell tumors and synchronous endometrial pathology: Does ovarian tumor size correlate with endometrial cancer?

Objective: The main feature of adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCT) is their capacity to secrete hormones, with nearly all of them capable of synthesizing oestradiol. The primary goal of this study is to identify synchronized endometrial pathologies, particularly endometrial cancer, in AGCT patients who had undergone a hysterectomy.

Materials And Methods: The study cohort comprised retrospectively of 316 AGCT patients from 10 tertiary gynecological oncology centers.

Prognostic factors of adult granulosa cell tumors of the ovary: a Turkish retrospective multicenter study.

Objective: To define the clinical, histopathological features and the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with adult granulosa cell tumors of the ovary (AGCT).

Methods: A 322 patients whose final pathologic outcome was AGCT treated at nine tertiary oncology centers between 1988 and 2021 participated in the study.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 51.

Is advanced bipolar v anced bipolar vessel sealing de essel sealing device really eff eally effective in decreasing the pelvic lymphocele ratio in open surgery for endometrial cancer?

Background: We aim to show pelvic lymphocele (PL) rates in patients who were operated for endometrial cancer (EC) and underwent systematic paraaortic bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (PABPLND) with advanced bipolar vessel sealing device (ABVSD).

Methods: The medical files of all patients who underwent open surgery for EC between January 2017 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. One hundred three patients who operated with the diagnosis of high-intermediate and high-risk endometrial cancer were included.

Loss of Reproductive Ability due to Late Application of Young Refugee with Choriocarcinoma During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive malignant trophoblastic neoplasm. The rapid growth of neoplastic tissue and myometrial invasion can cause uterine perforation. It is important to quickly diagnose the disease and plan treatment because these tumors are nearly always curable, and fertility can be preserved in most cases with proper management.

Is Valsalva maneuver an alternative to use tenaculum for endometrial sampling procedure in cases where the cervix cannot be passed spontaneously with pipelle? A randomized study.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of the Valsalva maneuver on ease of the endometrial sampling procedure in cases where the cervix cannot be passed spontaneously.

Methods: A randomized prospective trial was conducted in 84 patients whose cervix could not pass spontaneously with pipelle, and they were randomized for the Valsalva maneuver or tenaculum groups. In 43 of a total of 84 patients, we requested Valsalva maneuver throughout the process to pass the cervical canal, and in 41 patients, we performed tenaculum to pass the cervix.

Awareness and Knowledge Levels of Turkish College Students about Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Vaccine Acceptance.

Awareness of HPV by the target population is an important determinant of vaccine acceptance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness of HPV infection and acceptability of the HPV vaccines among Turkish college students. College students aged 18-30 who were attending a large public university in Ankara participated in this study.

The Possibly Reversible Isotretinoin Effect of Decreased Ovarian Reserve in Sprague-Dawley Albinos: Part I, Biochemical Analyses.

Background: The study aims to determine the detrimental effects of 7.5 mg/kg/day isotretinoin treatment on the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in an experimental study to see whether the effects on ovarian reserve are reversible.

Methods: Blood was sampled in 16 Sprague-Dawley albinos before any treatment to see baseline AMH levels.

A randomized controlled experimental study of the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid for the prevention of adhesion formation in a rat uterine horn model.

Purpose: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been known to possess an efficacy in tissue regeneration. The aim of this study was to determine the role of PRP on post-operative adhesion formation in an experimental rat study.

Methods: Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, hyaluronic acid, and PRP treatment groups and operated on for uterine horn adhesion modeling.

Uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors: A case report and literature review.

Uterine tumors with ovarian sex cord-like elements are a rarely observed type of uterine body tumor with unknown etiology, and are divided into two groups: Endometrial stromal tumors with sex cord-like elements (ESTSCLEs) and uterine tumors resembling ovarian sex cord tumors (UTROSCTs). While ESTSCLEs are commonly associated with metastasis and recurrence, there is limited data in the relevant literature concerning the behavior of UTROSCTs. However, UTROSCTs are typically benign in nature.

Comparison of Topical Lidocaine Spray With Placebo for Pain Relief in Colposcopic Procedures: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of topical lidocaine spray compared to a placebo for relieving pain during colposcopic cervical biopsies and endocervical curettage.

Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study included patients with abnormal cervical cytologic results requiring colposcopy and directed cervical punch biopsy with or without endocervical curettage (ECC). The patients were randomly assigned to either the 10% lidocaine spray or the placebo group.
