BACKGROUND: Transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) is an emerging surgical technique in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery. This technique allows different types of surgical procedures to be performe…

Endometriosis is the presence of stromal and epithelial cells outside the uterine cavity. This chronic inflammatory disease affects about 10 % of the female population in reproductive age and is responsible for chronic pelvic pain and infer…

STUDY QUESTIONS: Does the application of anti-adhesion gel, compared to no gel, following operative hysteroscopy to treat intrauterine pathology in women wishing to conceive increase the chance of conception leading to live birth? WHAT IS …

It is defined by the presence of endometriosis in macroscopically normal-looking tissue. Even though there have been further studies, the meaning of OME is still unclear. Firstly, it could have an important status in the pathogenesis of end…

BACKGROUND: Septate uterus is the most common uterine malformation found in women presenting poor reproductive history. Hysteroscopic septoplasty (HS) restores the uterine anatomy in a safe procedure. OBJECTIVES: The goal of our study is t…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrium outside of uterine cavity and thought to develop through reverse menstruation of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Endometrial cell implantation into peritoneal cavity is …

A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among members of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), with the aim of increasing awareness of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of tubal disease as an alternative to in-vitr…

Background. Endometriosis (EMs) is a non-malignant gynecological disease, whose pathogenesis remains to be clarified. Recent studies have found that hypoxia induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as well as epigenetic modification …

PURPOSE: To develop a questionnaire based on patients' verbal descriptors, to measure the painful symptoms of endometriosis. METHODS: We performed a two-round modified DELPHI procedure mixing endometriosis patients and physicians to select…

'To whom correspondence should be addressed A series of 231 cases of deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum is presented. Laparoscopic procedures with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules were performed i…

Minimal and mild endometriosis (stages I/II) is frequently identified in subfertile patients, especially in case of unexplained infertility. The impact of those lesions on fecundity is still debatted and they have been considered as paraphy…

'To whom correspondence should be addressed A computerized morphometrical investigation was per-formed on endometriotic tissue from the peritoneum (n = 225) and rectovaginal nodules (n = 65) to compare histologically and stereologicall…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the interest of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis and to investigate perioperative results. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From November 2008 to April 2012, 164 women with stage IV …

Adenomyosis is a medical benign condition of the endometrium-myometrium interface that is histopathologically characterized by the presence of ectopic tissue (endometrial glands and stroma) in myometrium. The diagnosis is complicated by the…

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare entity, especially when it occurs in the postmenopausal period. In certain circumstances, this severe disease can cause obstruction, leading to ureterohydronephrosis and, finally, to a progressive and often …

Endometriosis is usually described as a complex multifactorial disease involving dysregulation of estrogen metabolism, inflammatory and immunological mechanisms. Recently, many authors have questioned the environmental pollution and toxins …

BACKGROUND: This study was designed to develop an animal model to test the response of endometrium to local progestin delivery. METHODS: Proliferative human endometrium was subcutaneously grafted in two groups of SCID mice that received, 2…

Endometriosis, defined by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is a benign disease responsible for infertility and pelvic pain. The diagnosis based on a detailed gynaecological history and a careful clinical examination…

Parietal, appendiceal, pleuropulmonary and diaphragmatic endometriosis represent 5% of endometriosis cases. Diagnosis and management of these extra-genital localisations are described according to the literature. Parietal endometriosis usua…
