Ovarian cystectomy is the preferred technique for the surgical management of ovarian endometrioma. However, other techniques such as ablation or sclerotherapy are also commonly used. The aim of this review is to summarize information regarding the efficacy of ablation and sclerotherapy compared to cystectomy in terms of ovarian reserve, the recurrence rate, and the pregnancy rate. Several studies comparing ablation versus cystectomy or sclerotherapy versus cystectomy in terms of the serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) decrement, endometrioma recurrence, or the pregnancy rate were identified and summarized. Both ablation and cystectomy have a negative impact on ovarian reserve, but ablation results in a smaller serum AMH decrement than cystectomy. Nonetheless, the recurrence rate is higher after ablation than after cystectomy. More studies are needed to demonstrate whether the pregnancy rate is different according to whether patients undergo ablation or cystectomy. The evidence remains inconclusive regarding whether sclerotherapy is better than cystectomy in terms of ovarian reserve. The recurrence rates appear to be similar between sclerotherapy and cystectomy. There is not yet concrete evidence that sclerotherapy helps to improve the pregnancy rate via in vitro fertilization in comparison to cystectomy or no sclerotherapy.

Objective: This study was performed to assess our clinical experience with single-port access (SPA) laparoscopic cystectomy and myomectomy and the surgical outcomes of those procedures at our institution. Methods: The authors evaluated the surgical outcomes of SPA laparoscopic cystectomy in 293 patients and SPA laparoscopic myomectomy in 246 patients. The surgical outcomes comprised operation time, the amount of blood loss during the operation, the change in hemoglobin (before and after the operation), the change in hematocrit (before and after the operation), switching to the multi-port access method, complications, transfusions, and the duration of the postoperative hospital stay. Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient and the Spearman correlation coefficient between the operation time and the amount of blood loss were 0.312 and 0.321 for SPA laparoscopic cystectomy, respectively, and 0.706 and 0.674 for SPA laparoscopic myomectomy, respectively. The drops in hemoglobin and hematocrit were $1.33{\pm}0.78g/dL$ and $4.14%{\pm}2.45%$, respectively, in SPA laparoscopic cystectomy, while the corresponding figures were $1.34{\pm}1.13g/dL$ and $4.17%{\pm}3.24%$ in SPA laparoscopic myomectomy, respectively. Conclusion: This study reported the surgical outcomes of SPA laparoscopic cystectomy and myomectomy and compared them to previously published findings on traditional laparoscopic cystectomy and myomectomy. No significant differences were found in the surgical outcomes between SPA and traditional laparoscopic cystectomy and myomectomy.

Purpose : Chronic pelvic pain(CPP) is a common gynecologic symptoms. Recent research has been directed towards understanding the pathology of CPP, but many questions have existed. And the study for treating CPP has been tried by various manners. A Korean medicine(KM) also try to treat a various methods for treatment of CPP. It is often that a pelvic pain is continue a post-hysterectomy or a operating of gynecology. We have a case of CPP treatment by KM that is a patient continue pain after post-ovarian cystectomy with laparoscopy. So we report a case on pelvic pain and complication of post-ovarian cystectomy with laparoscopy. Methods : A 44 years old woman, who suffered from chronic pelvic pain, dizziness, nausea, dyspepsia, general weakness, insomnia after ovarian cystectomy, was enrolled in this study. She received KM therapies such as herbal medicine, moxibustion, acupuncture for 4 weeks. Results : CPP and symptoms after ovarian cystectomy were reduced by KM therapies. Conclusion : 'The present study suggests that KM therapies have a significant effect on CPP and complications of post-ovarian cystectomy with laparoscopy.

This study was conducted to determine whether patients could engage in sexual activity following total cystectomy with ileal conduit. Sixteen male bladder cancer patients treated by total cystectomy with or without preoperative irradiation. Patients ranged in age from 48 to 70 years (mean 59.6 years). The interval from therapy ranged from 7 to 82 months (mean 33.8 months).Prior to therapy 11 /16 patients (68.8 %) reported they were engaging some form of sexual activity at least once per month. All were able to achieve an erection and were orgasmic. Following total cystectomy, 6 patients (37.5%) continued to engage in sexual activity at least once per month and were experiencing orgasm. 3 patients (18.8%) reported they were able to achieve an erection. The spontaneous resumptiom of sexual activity by almost one third of the patients in this study refutes the assumption that sexual activity would be impossible following total cystectomy.

To determine the relationship between comorbidity and outcome after radical cystectomy in Chinese patients by using the Adult Comorbidity Evaluation (ACE)-27 index. Two-hundred-and-forty-six patients treated with radical cystectomy at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Hunan Province, China between 2000 and 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Medical records were reviewed for age, gender, delayed time of radical cystectomy, urinary diversion type, pelvic lymphadenectomy status, TNM stage, and pathological grade. Comorbidity information was assessed by the ACE-27 index. The outcome measurement was overall survival. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to determine the association between comorbidity and outcome. The study population consisted of 215 (87.40%) males and 31 (12.60%) females with a mean age of $62{\pm}11$ years. Median duration of follow-up was $47{\pm}31$ months. A total of 151 (61.38%) patents died during follow-up. Of those, 118 (47.97%) had at least one comorbidity. According to the ACE-27 scores, 128 (52.03%) patients had no comorbidity, 79 (32.11%) had mild, 33 (13.41%) had moderate, and 6 (2.45%) had severe comorbidities. Multivariate analysis indicated that moderate (p=0.002) and severe (p<0.001) comorbidity was significantly associated with decreased overall survival. In addition, age ${\geq}70$ years (p=0.002), delayed time of radical cystectomy >12 weeks (p=0.044), pelvic lymphadenectomy status (p=0.014), and TNM stage >T3 (p<0.001) were determined to be independent risk factors of overall survival. Increasing severity of comorbidity statistically correlated with decreased overall survival after radical cystectomy.

Spinoglenoid cyst of the shoulder is a rare clinical entity and several treatment modalities have been reported. Recently, arthroscopy is effectively used via communication hole or posterior capsulotomy through the glenohumeral joint. With this method, the complete cystectomy is impossible if the cyst is a large size or extended anteriorly and there are few reports about such cases. We present extra-articular complete cystectomy through bursal space in 3 cases of huge and anteriorly extended spinoglenoid cysts. All patients were able to return to work with no restrictions and 2 patients who performed the follow up MRI demonstrated complete resolution of the cyst and some recovery of the mass of infraspinatus muscle.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of radical cystectomy (RC) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (MVAC) in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer (BC). From December 2000 to February 2012, 72 patients with locally advanced BC (T3-4a, N0 or N+, M0) received either RC or CRT. RC with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection including the common iliac region as the standard procedure. Patients in the CRT group received one cycle of MVAC followed by radiotherapy with a half dose of MVAC and then two more cycles of MVAC. Standard fractionation at a daily dose of 1.8-2.0 Gy was used, with a median total dose of 50 Gy (range, 45-60 Gy). The 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates in the RC and CRT groups were 56.2% and 25.6%, respectively (p=-0.015) and the 3-year overall survival (OS) rates were 63.5% and 48.1% (p=0.272). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis with application of a propensity score indicated that RC was a significant predictor of PFS (p=0.033) but not of OS (p=0.291). Among patients with locally advanced BC, PFS was significantly prolonged in the RC group compared with the CRT group. However, RC was not a significant predictor of OS. Although the sample size in this study was small, the results suggest that patient background and postoperative quality of life should be considered when choosing treatment strategy for locally advanced BC.

Background: To explore the safety, efficacy, and oncological outcome of 3-port laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) in patients older than 75 years. Materials and Methods: From June 2010 to July 2014, we analyzed 16 radical cystectomies in patients older than 75 years (LRC group=8; ORC group=8). Demographic parameters, operative variables, and perioperative outcome in the 2 groups were retrospectively collected, analyzed, and compared. Results: Patients in both groups had comparable preoperative characteristics. A significantly longer operating time (476 vs. 303 min, P=0.0002) and less estimated blood loss (627 vs. 2,106 mL, P=0.021) were observed in the LRC group compared to the ORC group. Infection and ileus were the most common early complications after surgery. Patients who underwent ORC suffered from more postoperative infection (22.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.054) and ileus (25.0% vs. 12.5%, P=0.521) than the LRC group, but the difference was not significant. Conclusions: Judging from this initial trial, 3-port LRC can be safely carried out in elderly patients. We suggest 3-port LRC as the primary intervention to treat muscle-invasive or high-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer in elderly patients with an otherwise relatively long life expectancy.

목적 근치적 방광적출 후 회장 신방광형성술을 시행 받은 방광암 환자는 수술 후 혈뇨를 보일 수 있는데, 이는 종양 재발에 대한 불안을 유발할 수 있다. 그러나 종양 재발뿐 아니라 호두까기 증후군이 수술 후 혈뇨의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 이는 빈번한 증후군일 수 있음을 증명하려고 한다. 대상과 방법 2011년부터 2016년까지 근치적방광적출 후 회장 신방광형성술을 시행 받은 255명의 방광암 환자를 대상으로 조영증강 복부골반 컴퓨터단층촬영과 소변검사 소견을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 호두까기 증후군 소견의 유무는 좌신정맥 흐름 패턴을 평가하여 판단하였다. 소변분석에서는 총 소변검사에서 혈뇨가 양성인 비율에 따라 환자를 분류하였다. 결과 컴퓨터단층촬영에서 호두까기 증후군 소견은 135명의 환자 중 31.9%에서 나타났다. 혈뇨 양성 그룹에서는 호두까기 증후군의 소견이 없는 환자보다 있는 환자가 26% 더 많았다. 결론 호두까기 증후군의 소견은 수술 후 방광암 환자에게 빈번하였으며, 호두까기 증후군 소견과 혈뇨 사이에는 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 또한 호두까기 증후군 소견의 유병률은 수술 후 요로의 종양 재발률보다 높았다.
