The treatment of first intention for endometriosis must be surgery. In cases of infertility the surgical treatment of choice is laparoscopic surgery, maybe in conjunction with the medical treatment and possibly followed-up by a second-look.…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to compare differences between laparoscopic lateral suspension with mesh (LLS) performed with supracervical hysterectomy (LLSHE) and without hysterectomy (LLSUP). METHODS: We retrospectively collected …

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can be considered as the greatest surgical innovation over the past 30 years. It revolutionized surgical practice with well-proven advantages over traditional open surgery: reduced surgical trauma and incisi…

Endometriosis is a benign disease with high prevalence in women of reproductive age estimated between 10 and 15% and is associated with considerable morbidity. Its etiology and pathogenesis are controversial but it is believed to involve mu…

BACKGROUND: Recent findings strongly promoted the hypothesis that common pelvic gynecological diseases including endometriosis and ovarian neoplasia may develop de novo from ectopic endometrial-like glands and/or embryonic epithelial remnan…

PURPOSE: To determine levator ani muscle complex anatomic findings in nulliparous patients at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging examinations performed with opacification of the vagina and rectum with ultrasonographic gel. MATERIALS AND METHO…

OBJECTIVE: The challenges of imaging posterior deeply infiltrating endometriosis with MRI are to image a small anatomic area encompassing several thin fibromuscular anatomic structures such as uterosacral ligaments, and the vaginal and rect…

Despite numerous studies, endometriosis remains unclear concerning the etiopathogenesis, the natural history and optimal treatment. It occurs preferentially in young women and may be associated with a series of painful symptoms very disabli…

BACKGROUND: To derive a diagnostic model based on symptoms and history as assessed by a standardized questionnaire to predict posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) among women with chronic pelvic pain symptoms. METHODS: 134 women…

BACKGROUND: Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is recognized as a specific entity responsible for pain. The distribution of locations and their contribution to surgical management has not been previously studied. METHODS: Medical, ope…

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the precise nature of the relationship between dysmenorrhoea (DM) and endometriosis. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of DM in women with posterior deep infiltrating endometrios…

Deep pelvic endometriosis presents essentially in the form of a painful syndrome dominated by deep dyspareunia and painful functional symptoms that recur according to the menstrual cycle, with the semiology directly correlated with the loca…

Endovaginal ultrasonography is relevant for the diagnosis of ovarian endometriomas with a good predictive value. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be recommended if deep endometriosis is suspected. Operative laparoscopic management is th…

OBJECTIVE: To present the anatomopathological characteristics of deep bladder endometriosis. DESIGN: Descriptive anatomapathological study. SETTING: A university hospital department of gynecological surgery. PATIENT(S): Eleven consecutiv…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To take recent progress in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into account to determine its accuracy compared with that of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) in diagnosing bladder endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective analys…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the histologic appearance of deep endometriosis infiltrating the uterosacral ligaments (USL). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. …

The goal of this study was to describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signs of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions and above all to find out if MR imaging can pinpoint the location of these lesions. We made a retrospective …

The efficiency of medical therapy as a unique treatment for endometrioma has not been demonstrated. Operative laparoscopic management is the 'gold standard' for surgical treatment, and there are no indications to prescribe medical treatment…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether specific types of pelvic pain are correlated with the anatomic locations of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Retrospective data analysis. SETTING: University tertiary referral center. PAT…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether routine clinical examination is sufficient for the diagnosis and establishing the location of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification…

Intestinal endometriosis present in up to 37% of cases is difficult to diagnose and treatment remains complex. Until recently barium enema and colonoscopy are the only two diagnostic tools. However there were many drawbacks and technical li…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To analyze the risk of postoperative adhesions in women who undergo laparoscopic surgical management of deep endometriosis infiltrating the uterosacral ligaments (USL). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force c…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether deeply infiltrating endometriosis occurs with equal frequency between left and right uterosacral ligaments. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of consecutive cases. SETTING: Department of gynaecological surge…
