To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of concurrent transvaginal ovarian puncture for oocyte retrieval and ethanol sclerotherapy of ovarian endometriomas (eSCLT) during controlled ovarian stimulation.
Salmonella-induced tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) in patients with ovarian endometriomas and coexisting adenomyosis are rare and surgically challenging due to dense adhesions. We report a woman in her late 30s presenting …
