BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis may alter the functional architecture of the inner myometrium and has been associated with impaired reproductive outcomes. Focal cystic adenomyotic lesions can persist despite hormonal suppression and may be challeng…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and repeated pregnancy loss remain major challenges in assisted reproductive technology, often without identifiable causes despite high-quality embryo transfers. Emerging evidence suggests th…

Nearly 200 million people worldwide suffer from infertility. Disparities exist between developed and developing countries due to differences in the availability of infertility care, different reimbursement policies and socio-cultural differ…

OBJECTIVE: To study the value of hysteroscopic cytoreductive surgery for adenomyotic lesions to improve reproductive outcomes. We describe a feasible and novel minimal invasive stepwise approach, which did not result in postoperative adhesi…

BACKGROUND: We developed a simplified IVF culture system (SCS) which has proven to be effective and safe in a selected IVF cohort. METHODS: Preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) of 175 singletons born after using the SCS, 104 afte…

BACKGROUND: Assisted reproductive techniques services are often not accessible to the majority of infertile couples in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) due to high costs. Lowering IVF laboratory costs is a crucial step to make IVF aff…

The improvements in techniques, endoscopic instrumentation and surgical experience have completely changed the approach to uterine intracavitary pathologies, allowing the physician to achieve more reliable diagnostic and therapeutic results…

Where histology used the presence of glands and/or stroma in the myometrium as pathognomonic for adenomyosis, imaging uses the appearance of the myometrium, the presence of striations, related to the presence of endometrial tissue within th…

What is the recommended diagnostic work-up of female genital anomalies according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)/European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) system? The ESHRE/ESGE consensus for …

In laparoscopy, specimens have to be removed from the abdominal cavity. If the trocar opening or the vaginal outlet is insufficient to pass the specimen, the specimen needs to be reduced. The power morcellator is an instrument with a fast r…

A more objective, accurate and non-invasive estimation of uterine morphology is nowadays feasible based on the use of modern imaging techniques. The validity of the current classification systems in effective categorization of the female ge…

Adenomyosis, the heterotopic presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, has traditionally been diagnosed by the pathologist in hysterectomy specimens. However, the recent development of high-quality non-invasive techni…

Although laparoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis, the need for this invasive diagnostic tool is a major stumbling-block in both effective clinical management and for research into this common and debilitating dis…

BACKGROUND: The success of IVF treatment is dependent upon embryo quality and coordinated growth and differentiation of the endometrium. Aromatase P450 expression in the human endometrium is thought to be restricted to women with proliferat…

Reproductive performance is now more than ever determining the choice of treatment for each individual couple. The easy access to ART treatments, their financial benefits, and the relative high success rate per cycle are at the basis of a l…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Laparoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis but the need for visual evidence of the disease is a major stumbling-block for both effective clinical management of affected patients as well as for res…
