INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a common, chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus and frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Despite its hi…
INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic bowel dysfunction is a frequent consequence of spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D). A colostomy is considered when conservative treatments fail [1, 2]. In the last year we observed several SCI/D persons with colostom…
OBJECTIVE: \nTo investigate whether nucleoporin 210 (GP210, encoded by NUP210 gene) is involved in endometriosis. \n \nDESIGN: \nImmunohistofluorescence analysis for assessing whether GP210 is expressed in endometrial tissues from patients …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether nucleoporin 210 (GP210, encoded by NUP210 gene) is involved in endometriosis. DESIGN: Immunohistofluorescence analysis for assessing whether GP210 is expressed in endometrial tissues from patients and cont…
IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding and reverse causa…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: This study included 357 consecutive patients who underwent colorectal resection. We evaluated intraoperat…
BACKGROUND: Complete laparoscopic excision of endometriosis offers good longterm symptomatic relief, especially for those with severe or debilitating symptoms. Intestinal endometriosis affect between 3% and 36% of women with endometriosis a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prospectively the efficacy of laparoscopic ureterolysis versus ureteroureterostomy in women with ureteral endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ospedale Sacro Cu…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: A strong association exists between adenomyosis and endometriosis and a common pathogenetic mechanism was proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether and how the presence of concurrent adenomyosis can affect the…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Adequate surgical treatment of severe deep endometriosis requires complete excision of all implants, but the modality of bowel resection is still debated. We describe the results of our experience as a tertiary care endomet…
AIM: Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue, including endometrial glands and stroma, outside the uterine cavity. The incidence of endometriosis in the general population is almost unknown, because it varies between 1% and 50%,…
