Management of Ovarian Masses in Pediatric Patients: an Italian Survey
Ovarian CystsPediatric ALL1 moreObjectives: The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) provides a specific terminology for adult ovarian masses, while, currently, there is no systematic classification for preoperative assessment of adnexal lesions in childhood and adolescence. This study aims to survey Italian pediatric surgeons to evaluate ovarian masses' management (from diagnosis to treatment) in patients aged 1-18. Methods: A 27-question survey was distributed. It consisted of questions regarding the management and use of ultrasound and IOTA terminology in diagnosing ovarian masses in childhood and adolescence, in emergency regimes and in planned surgeries.

Comparisons of Human Fibrin Glue (Tisseel) Versus Suture and Robotic Versus Traditional Laparoscopy...
Women With Ovarian CystObjective: To compare the effects of suture versus human fibrin glue during robotic or laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy

Ultrasonographic Evaluation of Ovarian Stromal Vascularity in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome...
Ovarian CystsThe most common endocrine condition in reproductive women is polycystic ovary syndrome. It has a prevalence of 5-10%. According to the Rotterdam criteria, oligo/anovulation, clinic or biochemical hyperandrogenism, PCOS morphology in ultrasonography, and the presence of these two criteria are required for diagnosis. The echogenicity of the ovarian stroma, vascularity, ovarian size, cystic pattern density, and subcortical organization of cysts are all significant considerations in ultrasonographic evaluation.

Effects of Adrenergic Drugs on the Fluid Balance During Surgery
Ovarian CystThe aim this study was to examine to what degree the slow turnover of lactated Ringer's solution during anesthesia and surgery can be prevented by infusing esmolol (a ß1-receptor blocker) or phenylephrine in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgery performed under intravenous anesthesia.

The Effect of Surgery for Non Endometriosic Ovarian Cysts on Ovarian Reserve
Antimullerian HormoneOvarian Cysts1 moreThe main objective is to evaluate the ovarian reserve after laparoscopic cystectomy. The secondary objective is the analysis of predictors of change in the ovarian reserve after surgery

Evaluation and Implementation of New Biomarkers and Algorithms for Diagnosis of Ovarian Cysts/Tumors...
Ovarian NeoplasmsDiagnoses Disease2 moreThis study evaluates the biomarkers CA125 and HE4 and the algorithms RMI and ROMA on a normal population in the western region of Sweden. The aim is to improve diagnosis of ovarian cancer. If the investigators observe a clear improvement in the early diagnosis of EOC, the investigators aim to implement the best strategy for all patients with suspected pelvic tumor mass in the western region of Sweden.

Pubertal Evolutionary Profile of Children Monitored for Fetal Ovarian Cyst
Fetal Ovarian CystThis study is based on pubertal surveillance of fetal ovarian cysts (KOF). Fetal ovarian cysts (KOF) detected during fetal ultrasound examinations occur during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and are of unknown cause.

A New Algorithm to Predict Ovarian Age
InfertilityPolycystic Ovary Syndrome3 moreTo collect data of clinical, biochemical and 3D-ultrasonographic parameters of a population of fertile women aged 18-55 in order to design a new algorithm able to predict ovarian age and to evaluate the reliability of a multimodal diagnostic evaluation of ovarian age in term of both reproductive prognosis and distance to menopause following the guidelines of the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy initiative (STARD)

Monitoring Ovarian Cysts in Pregnancy
Ovarian CystsThis prospective study will primarily aim to determine what monitoring is required of ovarian cysts when they are diagnosed in pregnancy, as well as what intervention, if any, is necessary. It also aims to identify the prevalence of ovarian cysts in pregnancy and the nature of these cysts, as well as their natural history throughout pregnancy.

International Ovarian Tumour Analysis (IOTA) Phase 5
Adnexal MassesOvarian Cysts1 moreThe purpose of this study is to learn more about the appearance and behavior of benign-looking adnexal masses. Benign-looking means that when viewed here by ultrasound it has the appearance of looking not harmful or not malignant. Adnexal refers to the 'adnexa', the space in the female pelvis on either side of the uterus (or where the uterus used to be if you previously had a hysterectomy). The adnexa includes, but is not limited to, the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Masses refers to a variety of structures, including but not limited to: ovarian cysts that are fluid filled sacs within or attached to an ovary ovarian tumors that can be solid tissue or a combination of cysts and solid tissue hydrosalpinges that are fluid collections in the fallopian tube Many women have what appear to be benign adnexal masses. Many times, removal of the masses with surgery is not necessary. Often surgery is performed unnecessarily, for fear that these masses could be cancer. There is not much information available for doctors to know how and when to follow these masses, or which ones will become cancer. This study will combine information from centers all around the world regarding the behavior of all types of benign adnexal masses. The aim of this study is to develop decision tools for doctors to know the best way to treat these masses in order to improve the detection of ovarian cancer while at the same time reduce the number of unnecessary operations.
