Abstract

Vaginal ovarian cystectomy has not gained wide acceptance owing to the potential difficulty in entering the cul-de-sac. We review the current evidence on vaginal approaches to benign ovarian cysts. Outcome measures of interest included time to return to work, patient satisfaction, surgical complications and length of hospital stay. Ten studies were included in this review and involving 525 patients. Vaginal ovarian cystectomy is overall safe and feasible in appropriately selected cases with no evidence of intrapelvic adhesions or endometriosis. These findings will need to be validated in appropriately powered studies, before reliable conclusions can be drawn. Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of ultrasound both preoperatively for case selection optimization and intraoperatively, as a means of guidance during posterior culdotomy.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
