Objective: To investigate factors that may be associated with the recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and DIE-related symptoms. Methods: Starting in September 2014, women with a confirmed diagnosis of DIE based on surgical a…

Immune cells and cytokines have important roles in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. However, the production and role of cytokines of T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 cells in the progress of endometriosis have remained to be fully elucidated…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a common disease affecting women of reproductive age. It may cause pelvic pain, infertility and decreased quality of life. Since it is difficult to diagnosis at early onset, the average time delayed from onset of symp…

Objective This study was performed to identify risk factors for postoperative rectovaginal fistula (PRF) in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Methods Data were retrospectively obtained from the medical records of 104 pati…
