OBJECTIVE: To present data from a series of 17 cases of bladder endometriosis. DESIGN: Clinical study. SETTING: A university hospital department of gynecology. PATIENT(S): Seventeen patients complaining of menstrual urinary symptoms and/…
Angiogenesis is likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. According to the transplantation theory, when the exfoliated endometrium is attached to the peritoneal layer, the establishment of a new blood supply is essential f…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the localization of adhesion proteins (laminin and fibronectin) and their receptors of the integrin family in endometriosis and endometrium. DESIGN: An immunohistochemical study. SETTING: University Hospital, Departm…
OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic procedure with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum and histological study of the lesions. SETTING: An academic teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: A series of 500 women undergoing …
The management of large endometriomas was described in a series of 814 patients. Combined therapy using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and carbon dioxide laser laparoscopy was proposed. Drainage and GnRHa for 12 weeks provo…
OBJECTIVE: To compare histologically and stereologically the endometriotic nodule of the rectovaginal septum to peritoneal endometriosis. DESIGN: Morphometric investigation, cytokeratin and vimentin content, and steroid receptor evaluation…
A computerized morphometrical investigation was performed on endometriotic tissue from the peritoneum (n = 225) and rectovaginal nodules (n = 65) to compare histologically and stereologically the rectovaginal septum endometriotic nodule to …
In the pelvis, three different forms of endometriosis (Donnez et al, 1992) must be considered: (1) peritoneal, (2) ovarian, (3) rectovaginal septum. By evaluation of the mitotic activity and the stromal vascularization, we have recently sug…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quantitatively cytokeratin and vimentin staining in glandular and stromal cells of eutopic and ectopic endometrium. DESIGN: The investigation of cytokeratin and vimentin was carried out using the new computerized tec…
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 in all cases. In three cases, the bowel lumen was …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) content in glandular and stromal cells of eutopic and ectopic endometrium. DESIGN: A recently advanced stereographic computer technology was applied for the inv…
Endometriosis most commonly affects the pelvic peritoneum close to the ovaries, including the uterosacral ligaments, the ovarian fossa peritoneum, and the perito- neum of the cul-de-sac.\nThe increased diagnosis of endometriosis at laparosc…
