Spontaneous Abdominal Wall Endometriosis: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Excision and Repair
A 35 year-old gravida 2 para 1 female with a pacemaker in situ due to congenital cardiac heart disease and biopsy-proven stage IV endometriosis presented with chronic pain and a “bulge” in the right lower quadrant. Per the operative report of her initial surgery, an adherent, firm nodule was palpable in the right lower anterior abdominal wall and left in situ because etiology and extent of the disease was unclear. Physical exam revealed a palpable 4cm abdominal wall mas s. Her pacemaker was MRI-incompatible, so abdominal ultrasound and CT abdomen/pelvis were obtained but revealed inconclusive findings.

Successful Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval following Laparoscopic Management of Tubal Pregnancy
A 28-year-old female with primary infertility, had a history of unilateral fallopian tube infection with tuberculosis had a first IVF cycle with poor ovarian response. In a second cycle, a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol was chosen. On day 13, she experienced lower abdominal distension, with serology showing an estradiol of 4495.1 pg/ml, progesterone of 2.3 ng/ml, TVUS identified 12 follicles> 14 mm. Additionally, an echoic mass 3.2 ×2.3×2.5 cm adjacent to the right ovary, was demonstrated, raising suspicion of ectopic pregnancy, confirmed by an hCG levels of 81.9 mIU/ml.

Comparison of prone with lithotomy position in removal of posterior myoma in transvaginal natural orifice endoscopic surgery: a prospective cohort study
Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) is considered to have the advantages of completely scarless, less postoperative pain, earlier flatus, and faster postoperative recovery. However, posterior myoma are relatively difficult to operate through vNOTES in the conventional lithotomy position. Thus, we innovated the application of prone position in removal of posterior myoma in vNOTES. The aim of this study is the comparison of myomectomy outcomes of patient for single posterior myoma in prone and lithotomy position. (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

Intraoperative findings of duplicated Inferior Vena Cava during laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy
A 57-year-old patient with a diagnosis of ovarian clear cell carcinoma after bilateral adnexectomy underwent surgical staging at our gynecologic oncologic center. During laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy, we identified and exposed the double infrarenal vena cava (Edwards ’ Classification [1]), with the left inferior vena cava terminating in the left renal vein (Figure 1). No paracaval or interaortocaval lymph nodes were found on the left side. Surgery was performed without intraoperative or postoperative complications.

Patient Experiences with a Multidisciplinary Fibroid Program
Although medical, interventional, and surgical treatment options for fibroids have expanded over the last decade, many patients are not thoroughly counseled about all available therapies. Patients desire a more comprehensive approach with shared decision-making tailored to their health goals. The aim of this study is to assess patient knowledge regarding treatment options before and after consultation with a multidisciplinary fibroid center.

Regarding “A call for new theories on the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of Endometriosis”
I read the opinion article by Abott and the Endometriosis Initiative Group with interest [1]. Grand challenges in endometriosis remain – why is developing new drugs for endometriosis sometimes elusive? Why are fertility and pain outcomes different depending on the patient's race, ethnicity or within the same group [2]? (Source: The Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology)

“Robot-assisted partial cystectomy for deep infiltrating endometriosis of the bladder with the Hugo RAS system”.
Involvement of the lower urinary tract is found in 0.2-2.5% of all deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)1,2. The bladder is the most affected organ with a prevalence of up to 80% of cases3. Patients with bladder endometriosis are often symptomatic (dysuria, hyperactive bladder, recurrent urinary tract infections and hematuria). Surgery is the gold standard treatment for this condition when medical therapy fails1,2. Several studies have shown the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of the laparoscopic approach4 but data about robotic-assisted approach are missing in literature.
