Abnormal thickening of the Endometrial Subendometrial Myometrium Unit (ESEMy Unit, including basal endometrium and inner myometrium) has been detected on imaging and referred to as "diffuse adenomyosis" in infertile patients with proven end…
Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease of unknown aetiology. Angiogenesis appears to be one of the processes involved in its pathogenesis. Angiogenic factors are increased in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis (Mc…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to review and compare the results obtained using the Pfannenstiel, laparoscopy and minilaparotomy approaches for total hysterectomy procedure in relation to benign uterine diseases. METHODS: A retrospec…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation was to assess whether a correlation exists among microvascular density (MVD), expression of endothelial growth factor, and pelvic pain in patients with ovarian endometriosis. METHODS: Sixty-five pat…
Uterine pathology represents one of the most common sources of complaints in women. It may cause pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding or problems related to infertility. On the other hand, endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a correlation exists between angiogenesis in ovarian endometrioma with the presence of pelvic pain. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Tertiary-care university hospital. PATIENT(S): Sixty-five patients (mean…
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum levels and VEGF and cellular expression were prospectively analyzed in 60 patients (group A consisted of asymptomatic patients or patients presenting mild dysmenorrhea; 30 women comprised grou…
The aim of this investigation was to assess whether a correlation exists between angiogenesis in ovarian endometrioma and the presence of pelvic pain. The amount of blood flow, lowest pulsatility and resistance indexes as assessed by transv…
