Although long-term urinary retention can cause irreversible injury to the urinary tract, no standard strategies have been established for optimal management of this complication. We present a case of uterine myoma associated with urinary retention in a woman who was successfully treated by laparoscopic hysterectomy performed during the subacute phase of this condition. A 43-year-old gravida 1, para 1 presented with urinary retention. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a myoma located in the upper portion of the posterior uterine wall with a longer diameter of 11.5 cm. The uterine cervix and lower portion of the bladder were displaced anteriorly secondary to the tumor. These findings and the patient’s history of her illness suggested that urinary retention was caused by the uterine myoma. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed after 2 months of conservative management. Postoperatively, urination promptly improved without any disturbance of bladder function. Urinary retention caused by uterine myoma without any underlying illness should be considered an indication for surgical treatment.","PeriodicalId":325241,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117014090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clomiphene citrate is the first-line treatment for PCOS patients. Gonadotropin therapy or laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is recommended as the second-line treatment for clomiphene resistant PCOS. Which cases respond to LOD remain unclear. In this study, we examined predictors of successful LOD to clarify the position of LOD in the treatment strategy for PCOS. Materials and Methods: This study included 19 anovulatory women with clomiphene-resistant PCOS who underwent LOD between September 2012 to June 2016. We retrospectively examined patients in an ovulatory group (n = 15) and a non-ovulatory group (n = 4) in terms of age, luteinizing hormone level, follicle-stimulating hormone level, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, and number of drillings. Results: Fifteen (78.9%) of 19 patients regained spontaneous ovulation after LOD. The pregnancy rate was 63.2% (12/19). After LOD, ovulatory group had a significantly lower preoperative AMH than the non-ovulatory group (9.71 ng/ ml vs 20.70 ng/ml, p = 0.0227). At a cutoff of 12.7 ng/ml, AMH had a sensitivity of 76.9% and a specificity of 100% in the prediction of non-ovulation after LOD. Conclusion: Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is an effective treatment for clomiphene-resistant PCOS. AMH is suggested to be a useful predictor of ovulation after LOD.","PeriodicalId":325241,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128564243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cystic lesion was located just under the abdominal wall and the tumor appeared to arise from the left ovary. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery, which revealed that the tumor was a retroperitoneal cyst. Because the cyst wall was extremely thin, complete excision of the tumor was difficult; thus, laparoscopic fenestration was alternatively performed. A total of 150 mL clear yellow serous fluid was drained; cytology was negative for malignancy. Postoperatively, she conceived and delivered an infant. No recurrence of the tumor was observed. Most retroperitoneal tumors are generally solid and rarely present as a cystic lesion. Complete excision of the tumor is recommended due to the possibility of malignancy. Fenestration of the cyst is also an accepted choice of treatment for cases in which complete excision is difficult and diagnostic imaging studies show no signs of malignancy. Even though retroperitoneal cysts can be safely excised laparoscopically, laparoscopic surgery does not remain a standard treatment for retroperitoneal cysts. Here, we report a case of the retroperitoneal cyst presenting as an intrapelvic cystic tumor. Gynecologists also unexpectedly encounter retroperitoneal cysts because it is difficult to differentiate retroperitoneal cysts from ovarian cysts in some cases. Gynecologists must consider retroperitoneal cysts as a differential diagnosis of intrapelvic cystic tumors and be cognizant of the therapeutic strategies for retroperitoneal cysts.","PeriodicalId":325241,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129052444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report a case of Gartner's duct cyst arising from the cervix, which was resected laparoscopically. A 13-year-old girl complained of lower abdominal pain. An ultrasound scan revealed a pelvic tumor and MRI showed a 3.8 × 4 cm cervical cyst. There were no malformations in the uterus or kidneys. The cyst was diagnosed as a Gartner's duct cyst arising from the cervix. The patient underwent laparotomy, and the cyst was found in the upper side of the right sacrouterine ligament. Visibility was limited by the narrow surgical incision, and resection of the cyst was difficult. The cyst was aspirated, and the contents were negative for malignancy. Several months postoperatively, the patient had a recurrence of the pain. Treatment options were laparoscopic surgery, marsupialization, and sclerotherapy. On operation, we incised the serosa of the cyst and peeled it off from the surrounding area. The cyst was connected to the cervical canal, and the defect in the cervical canal that resulted from its resection was sutured. The patient was pain-free after laparoscopic surgery. We suggest that Gartner's duct cyst arising from the cervix and protruding toward the pelvic cavity is a potential candidate for laparoscopic resection.","PeriodicalId":325241,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Gynecologic and Obstetric Endoscopy","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124960988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
