Filter by:The postmenopausal women with vaginal bleeding were selected in this cross-sectional study. The basic characteristics information and endometrial blood flow energy index of endometrium were detected by color power Doppler ultrasound, and the energy histogram of endometrium was obtained. The specimen of uterine cytology and endometrial tissue were obtained through minimally invasive endometrium sampler, which were diagnosed by pathology. The statistical data were used to detect endometrial and precancerous lesions to observe the endpoint, and to provide the energy histogram model of the early warning endothelial diseases.
Aim: Determine if Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (the iKnife); can diagnose cancer and pre-cancer from endometrial tissue biopsy samples. Women attending a gynaecology clinic for assessment of abnormal bleeding will receive an pelvic (internal) ultrasound as routine standard of care. If any abnormalities are detected, a tissue sample will be needed. If women are agreeable a second tissue sample will be taken for research. The first will be analysed by conventional means (histopathology). The second sample with new technology called the 'iKnife'. This is a modified type of Mass spectrometry device, that separates particles based on their mass charge ratio. The idea being that if tissue is burnt, gas is produced, and this gas contains lots of ions that can be analysed by the iKnife. Each type of tissue (cancer or non-cancer) will have a unique signature that the iKnife can use to distinguish between samples. If effective it could be used in future outpatient clinics to provide a one-stop, true point of care diagnosis.
Since the introduction of total laparoscopic hysterectomy in 1989, laparoscopic gynecologic surgery has undergone many advances. TLH or LAVH has the advantages of faster recovery, fewer complications and shorter hospitalization compared to total abdominal hysterectomy. However, the hysterectomy for giant uterus has the difficulty of delivering the uterus out of the body. According to the results of TLH, LAVH and abdominal hysterectomy, TLH and LAVH show the postoperative complications were less frequent (3) and the postoperative recovery (4) and return to daily life were faster than total abdominal hysterectomy (3) even if it took longer operation time. Therefore, laparoscopic hysterectomy has many advantages over abdominal hysterectomy and indications are increasing. However, there has not yet been a direct comparison between TLH and VALH for large uterine surgery. In this study, we compared the results including the complications, hospitalization period and so on., in undergoing operation and post-operation between TLH and LAVH for the removal of giant uterus, which is predicted to be over 500 g.
This is a prospective, single-center clinical trial. One hundred and fifty patients affected by adnexal and uterine diseases will be recruited to undergo treatment with robotic assisted laparoscopic procedures using the innovative TELELAP ALF-X Endoscopic Robotic Surgical System with the primary objective of assessing the feasibility, efficacy and safety of this approach.
The purpose of this study to assess the proliferative effects of erythropoetin on human endometrium tissue by measuring the endometrial thickness, uterine artery and subendometrial blood flow in postmenopausal women.
Cervical cerclage is an obstetric intervention used in women with poor obstetric histories. After recruiting the participant, Trans vaginal sonography will be used to examine cervical length and funneling. In addition vaginal examination will be performed to evaluate the cervix. After placing the cerclage, the participant will be invited every 4 weeks for a follow up evaluation session in order to examine the cervix and cerclage position. .
MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRI-HIFU) has been proven to be a safe and effective method in treating uterine fibroids and also adenomyosis. However, systematic studies on the effect of this treatment on factors affecting fertility are still lacking. Also quite little is known about body's systemic response to MRI-HIFU. Thus the aim of this study is to obtain more information on the systemic response of the body to the HIFU-treatment when treating non-malignant disease as well as to study the effect of MRI-HIFU on factors affecting fertility. Women with symptomatic uterine fibroids or adenomyosis suitable for MRI-HIFU treatment are recruited to this study. The severity of symptoms will be assessed with UFS-QoL and the same questionnaire will also be used in follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Blood, urine and endometrium samples will be collected pre- and postoperatively and during follow-up 3, 6 and 12 months after the treatment. From these samples detailed analysis of the immunological, inflammatory and hormonal response will be performed. As this is the first study in Finland of treating uterine fibroids and adenomyosis using MRI-HIFU, also a report about the efficacy of the MRI-HIFU in treating the uterine disorders will be published, and a key tool in assessing the treatment outcome would be the UFS-QoL questionnaire. Also new methods for improving patient selection as well as treatment efficacy will be evaluated in this study.
This prospective, randomized, controlled study evaluates the efficacy of self-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel to prevent the development of de-novo intrauterine adhesions following curettage for retained product after second trimester abortion. One group of participants will underwent curettage plus intrauterine application of self-crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel while the other group will underwent curettage alone (control group).
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the speed of tenaculum placement affects perceived patient pain during office transcervical procedures.
Investigator will examined the diagnostic effect of the endometrial washing by saline. Because this technique more less painful and easier compared to endometrial curettage. Participants will separate into two groups. In study groups before endometrial curettage 5 cc saline infused to the endometrial cavity then aspirate and put into thin prep to examined. After this procedure routine endometrial curettage will be done. In control group only endometrial curettage will be done. Pathologic results of thin prep and curettage will compared.
