Background: Endometriosis is associated with infertility and impaired assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes, potentially due to an altered follicular microenvironment characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigates …

Background/Objectives: Fertility preservation is a key component of oncological care. This study evaluated the effectiveness of different controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols, including dual stimulation (DuoStim), for oocyte prese…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Microbiota modification at the endometrial level can favor gynecological diseases and impair women's fertility. The overgrowth of pathogen microorganisms is related to the contemporary alteration of estrogen-metaboliz…

Endometriosis (EMS) pathogenesis has been related to the release of inflammatory mediators in peritoneal fluid, creating an altered microenvironment that leads to low-grade oocyte/embryos and to the reduction of implantation rates. The Epit…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To show feasibility of using indocyanine green (ICG) in endometriosis surgery, especially bowel endometriosis shaving, and to discuss its potential benefits. DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of this technique with narrated v…

The advent of robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) is an important innovation which has provided new perspectives for the treatment of endometriosis, and particularly of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). RAL offers several technical advant…

Thyroid autoimmunity is the most prevalent autoimmune state that affects up to 5-20% of women during the age of fertility. Prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity is significantly higher among infertile women, especially when the cause of infert…

Purpose: Endometriosis may influence different aspects of reproductive physiology including folliculogenesis, ovulation, embryo quality, and fertilization. Recent data demonstrate that patients with endometriosis-associated infertility unde…
