We experienced 3 cases of early stage tubal cancer incidentally recognized during the operation and diagnosed pathologically after surgery of the tubo-ovarian abscess, the symptomatic adenomyosis, the myoma with adnexal cyst patients, so we report our cases with a review of the literature.

Fibroid uterine is a common disease, accounts for 30-40% women between 30 and 50 years old. It is benign, gradual progress, and diversified clinical development. Artery embolization - a less-invasive method was widely used in the world within 8 years ago (but only 3 years in Vietnam).. This method has many advantages: gentle, safe, and effective technique, keeping body intact, higher quality of life for patients. Wide application of this method is reasonable and essential

The hem-o-lock is useful tools for the laparoscopic surgeon. We herein describe a simplified technique for suturing and knotting technique using hem-o-loc. After enucleation of the myoma, uterine parenchymal defect was closed laparoscopically using a 1-0 vicryl suture on a needle, also prepared with a hem-o-lock. Before suturing, the vicryl is tied up with hem-o-loc on the tail of continuous suture that is start point of suture site. Once the suture is passed, a hem-o-loc is used to cinch it down on the suture site and secure the knot tightly. All sutures can be completed with just one suture, continuously. We experienced no major surgical complication.

PURPOSE: To describe various hysterosalpingographic (HSG) findings of intrauterine lesions, and to determinethe correlation of these with their hysteroscopic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study involved 100patients who during a 23-month period underwent both HSG and hysteroscopic examinations. The HSG findings werecategorized as intrauterine adhesion, endometrial polyp, myoma, or 'other', and were correlated with hysteroscopicfindings and histologic diagnoses. RESULTS: Diagnoses based on HSG findings were intrauterine adhesions (n=80),endometrial polyps (n=8), myomas (n=10) and 'other' (n=2). The hysteroscopic diagnoses of these patients wereintrauterine adhesions (n=68), endometrial polyps (n=11), myomas (n=4), and 'other' (n=17). HSG and hysteroscopicdiagnoses were consistent 72 patients (72%). CONCLUSION: Lesions presenting as filling defects on HSG sometimesshow nonspecific or overlapping findings and the normal uterus may produce defects of this kind which mimicklesions.

Leiomyoma is the most common benign uterine tumor, but acute torsion of myoma is extremely rare. We experienced two patients admitted to our hospital for acute abdominal pain, who diagnosed with torsion of subserosal myoma. Although ultrasonogram revealed a subserosal myoma in both cases, it could not confirm torsion of uterine fibroid. Laparoscopic surgery confirmed the diagnosis of acute torsion of myoma and resected the lesion successfully.

Radiofrequency myolysis is a method for preserving uterus and fecundity, and due to its more non-invasive and simpler operation, it is now carried out to cure the uterine myomas. However, not long time has passed since this operation started, and little studies were conducted on this complications and side effects. Therefore, since the authors experienced the pregnancy after radiofrequency myolysis of uterine myoma, we hereby report the cases.

OBJECTIVE: To introduce the technical aspects and advantages of a new classic intrafascial supracervical hysterectomy (CISH) technique over the conventional technique. METHODS: The charts of two hundred women who underwent conventional CISH technique (100 cases) between March 2000 and September 2000, or the new CISH technique (100 cases) between May 2002 and November 2002 were reviewed regarding patient characteristics, indications, uterine weight, estimated blood loss, operating time, and hemoglobin change. Cases with a very large uterus (over 500 g of weight), severe adhesions, and other complications, which required a longer operating time, were excluded and this study compared the most recent patient's data for both procedures, since the surgeon's experience and surgical technique will improve with practice. RESULTS: The women who underwent the new CISH had significantly shorter operating time as compared with the conventional method (106.7 vs 90.4 min). Although there was no significant difference in the estimated blood loss, the drop of Hb, which is an objective sign of blood loss, was significantly smaller using the new CISH technique than using the conventional CISH technique (1.98 vs 1.64 g/dL). CONCLUSION: The new CISH technique is safer, more convenient with less blood loss and shorter op time than the conventional technique, especially when the uterus is markedly enlarged by a large myoma, the ovarian ligament is too short, or the ovary and uterus are very closely adherent.

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a very rare autosomal recessive condition that occurs in 1 out of 8,000~20,000 people. Many endoscopic and colonoscopic procedures are performed in SIT patients, and they are difficult due to a complete left-right reversal of the internal organs. However, a throughout review of the endoscopic and colonoscopic procedures in such patients has never been conducted. A previous appendectomy and a large uterine myoma may make a colonoscopic procedure more difficult due to the adhesion and external compression. We performed endoscopy and colonoscopy without pain or complication in a SIT patient who had undergone appendectomy and had a large uterine myoma. We attribute this good result to careful preparation and sticking to the general principles of colonoscopic procedures.

Laparoscopic radiofrequency thermal ablation is a promising new approach for the conservative treatment of a uterine myoma. I report a pad burn in a patient undergoing laparoscopic radiofrequency thermal ablation for a uterine myoma. The burn occurred at the leading edge of the pad attached to the patient's thigh. The burn was treated successfully with dressings.
