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…
The aim of this study was to describe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in histopathologically proven deep endometriosis infiltrating the uterosacral ligaments, the pouch of Douglas, the rectum or the bladder. Twenty patients present…

'To whom correspondence should be addressed The goal of this study was to assess the efficiency of laparo-scopic surgical treatment of pain for patients presenting deep endometriosis located on the uterosacral ligaments. To this end we…
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…
OBJECTIVE: To determine if isolated retroversion is a cause of pelvic pain symptoms. STUDY DESIGN: One hundred and eleven premenopausal women consulting for routine examination in the gynecology department of two hospitals and two gynecolo…
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…
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 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…
Deep endometriosis is defined as an endometriotic lesion that penetrates the retroperitoneal space for a distance of > or =5 mm. Deep endometriosis is extremely active, occurs in phase with eutopic endometrium, evolves progressively with ag…
