Summary: This study evaluated the perioperative outcomes of laparoendoscopic two-site myomectomy (LETS-M). The results showed that the only significant difference between an experienced surgeon and trainees was the operation time, while other factors such as myoma number, diameter, weight, and intraoperative blood loss were not significantly different. Prolonged operation time was associated with factors such as virginity, myoma number, and myoma size. No major complications were reported in any patient.

Summary: The study compared the clinical application of single-port laparoscopic myomectomy with traditional three-port laparoscopic myomectomy in 120 patients. Results showed that the single-port laparoscopic group had shorter specimen removal time, postoperative ambulation time, first exhaust time after surgery, and length of hospital stay, with higher satisfaction of abdominal wall scar. However, the duration of surgery was significantly longer in the single-port laparoscopic group.

Summary: This study compared the surgical outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site myomectomy (LESS-M) and conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (CLM) and found that in certain conditions, CLM had shorter operation time and less blood loss than LESS-M. The results suggest that LESS-M is safe and feasible, but the use of single-port surgery should be carefully considered in specific scenarios.

Summary: This study compared laparoendoscopic single-site myomectomy (LESS-M group) and single-incision plus one port laparoscopic surgery (SILS + 1-M group) for myomectomy. The SILS + 1-M group had shorter total operating time, lower intraoperative blood loss, and less change in hemoglobin level compared to the LESS-M group. Both groups had similar rates of postoperative complications.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the learning curves of two surgeons with different endoscopic bases when performing laparoendoscopic single-site myomectomy (LESS-M). The results showed that both surgeons were able to successfully perform LESS-M, with one of them having no prior experience in multi-port laparoscopic surgery. The proficiency in LESS-M could be achieved after approximately 20 cases.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of single-port surgery and perioperative enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) management in laparoscopic myomectomy. The results showed that ERAS management can control postoperative pain and shorten hospital stay, while single-port surgery can accelerate the recovery of gastrointestinal function and postoperative walking time.

Summary: The feasibility and safety of single-site robotic myomectomy (SSRM) using a novel gradual turning out method (GTOM) were assessed and compared with two-port laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) in this study. The perioperative outcomes were similar between the two groups, indicating that SSRM with GTOM is a feasible and safe alternative to LM.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine an optimal maturation method to increase the yield of mature oocytes, focusing on cancer patients who have limited chances for fertility preservation before receiving gonadotoxic therapy. The results showed that dual triggering can be an efficient method to maximize the yield of mature oocytes in breast or endometrial cancer patients using letrozole combined with a GnRH antagonist protocol for fertility preservation.

Summary: The study assessed the correlation between serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels measured by two automated methods and oocyte number in fresh stimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Both methods showed good performance in predicting poor and high responders. The Access method generally yielded higher measured serum AMH levels compared to the Elecsys method.

Summary: Fertility preservation is a major concern for breast cancer patients undergoing multimodality treatment. Cryopreservation of oocytes, embryos, and ovarian tissue are currently available methods, and in vitro maturation or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist could also be considered. Good communication with patients in the decision-making process is essential, and timely referral to fertility specialists for individualized treatment is crucial for desirable outcomes. A multi-disciplinary team-based approach and in-depth discussion on breast cancer treatment and fertility preservation is necessary.

Summary: This study evaluates the efficacy of tissue-based hormone replacement therapy (tHRT) in treating signs and symptoms of menopause. The results show that tHRT can improve bone density and volume, as well as restore uterine health in post-menopausal women. This suggests that ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation can be used not only for fertility preservation but also for treating sex hormone-deficient post-menopausal women.
