Classification and Reporting Systems for Adenomyosis
ConclusionThere is inconsistency in histopathologic definitions, and there is no uniformly accepted or validated system of image-based reporting or classification that can inform clinical decision making. There exists a need for harmonized classification systems for both ultrasound and MRI that agree with the histopathologic features of the disorder. (Source: Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Resectoscopic Metroplasty with Uterine Septum Excision: A Histologic Analysis of the Uterine Septum
ConclusionBy removing the septum as a whole structure, this study allowed us to redefine the concept of the septum as a complex structure according to the islands of muscle fibers irregularly arranged in vertex, in a context of collagen tissue and similar to the structure of myomas. It appears to deeply involve the anterior and posterior uterine walls, resembling a “reverse letter H.” (Source: Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

A simple technique for placement of Seprafilm® − a sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose absorbable barrier − during laparoscopic myomectomy
This reports describes a simple technique, using conventional instrumentation, for placement of Seprafilm® − a sodium hyaluronate/carboxymethylcellulose absorbable barrier in adhesion prevention. Three hundred seventy-eight women with uterine fibroids undergoing laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) had 737 Seprafilm® pieces placed. The Seprafilm® sheet was softened through exposure to room air for 5 min, cut into four pieces (length: 5−10 mm), rolled-up alongside a plastic sheet cut from a camera drape cover, and gently placed at the right paracolic gutter. The Seprafilm® pieces unfolded semi-automa...

Diagnostic Accuracy of Intraoperative Tools for Detecting Endometriosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
ConclusionStudies report that enhanced imaging allows for the detection of additional endometriotic lesions missed by conventional white-light laparoscopy. The benefits of finding these additional lesions using enhanced imaging compared with white-light inspection alone on long-term postoperative outcomes have not been determined, and these tools should be considered only in a research context at this time.

Robotic colostomy take-down in a patient with extensive ventral hernias and adhesive disease
ConclusionRobotic-assisted colostomy take-down and anastomosis of descending colon to rectum were successfully performed. While there is a paucity of literature examining this technique within gynecologic surgery, general surgery literature has supported laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal and have demonstrated improved rates of postoperative complications and incisional hernia, while lowering the length of hospitalization (1). Minimally invasive technique is a feasible alternative to laparotomy for gynecologic oncology patients with colostomy, as long as they are recurrence-free.

Is endometriosis more common and more severe than it was 30 years ago?
ConclusionAs with all human studies, population sampling and study design matter. Heterogeneity of inclusion and diagnostic criteria and selection bias overwhelmingly account for variability in endometriosis prevalence estimated across the literature. Thus, it is difficult to conclude if the lack of observed change in frequency and distributions of endometriosis over the past 30 years is valid. (Source: Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Successful management of heterotopic cervical pregnancy with ultrasonographic-guided laser ablation
We report a case of a 36-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a one-year of primary infertility. Following oral ovulation induction cycles and IUI, diagnosis of heterotopic cervical pregnancy was made by ultrasonography at 7.4 weeks of gestation. Laser ablation of the cervical pregnancy was performed achieving adequate homeostasis at the implantation site and preserving the intrauterine pregnancy. A healthy infant was delivered at 36 0/7 wks by cesarean-section.Laser ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that appears to lead to successful outcomes in treatment of heterotopic cervical pregnancy.
