BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis and endometriosis in young women complaining of pelvic pain and to find the symptoms and clinical characteristics associated with these …

OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of extrauterine adenomyoma (EA) and review all the cases of EA in the literature. METHODS: Pubmed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar from 1807 to December 2022. All studies reporting the histologic diagnosis …

OBJECTIVE: The non-pregnant uterus shows an intrinsic contractility pattern, actively involved in early reproductive processes. Uterine contractility is characterized by endometrial waves that originate from the junctional zone and varies t…

BACKGROUND: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Deep Learning (DL) machine for the detection of adenomyosis on uterine ultrasonographic images and compare it to intermediate ultrasound skilled trainees. METHODS: Prospe…

Abstract PURPOSE: The optimal surgical approach for removal of colorectal endometrial deposits is unclear. Shaving and discoid excision of colorectal deposits allow organ preservation but risk recurrence with associated functional issues an…

PURPOSE: The optimal surgical approach for removal of colorectal endometrial deposits is unclear. Shaving and discoid excision of colorectal deposits allow organ preservation but risk recurrence with associated functional issues and re-oper…

PURPOSE: to compare the effects of Dienogest 2 mg (D) alone or combined with estrogens (D + ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg, D + EE; D + estradiol valerate 1-3 mg, D + EV) in terms of symptoms and endometriotic lesions variations. METHODS: This re…

Abstract Purpose to compare the effects of Dienogest 2 mg (D) alone or combined with estrogens (D + ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg, D + EE; D + estradiol valerate 1–3 mg, D + EV) in terms of symptoms and endometriotic lesions variations. Methods …

Background and Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic and recurrent disease defined as the presence and proliferation of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects up to 6–10% of women of reproductive age and can b…

Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is a rare uterine disease characterized by the malignant transformation of the ectopic endometrium within the adenomyotic foci. Clinicopathological and survival data are mostly limited to c…

Objectives Patients often search for health-related information on the internet allthough this trend may have some benefits, it also has some risks, such as misinformation. The aim of this study is to evaluate how Internet information seeki…

OBJECTIVE: To compare safety and effectiveness of two-different directions of suturing the posterior vaginal breach (horizontal [Ho] vs vertical [Ve]) in women undergoing recto-vaginal endometriosis (RVE) nodule resection. METHODS: A multic…

Adenomyosis has been associated with better survival outcomes in women with endometrial cancer. However, although the endometrial cancer patients’ risk stratification has been revolutionized by molecular findings, the impact of the molecula…

OBJECTIVE: In endometrial carcinoma patients, sentinel lymph node bilateral mapping fails in 20-25% of cases, with several factors affecting the likelihood of detection. However, pooled data about predictive factors of failure are lacking. …

Objective: Surgical treatment of endometriosis, when indicated, has demonstrated to be effective in reducing painful symptoms and improve quality of life of patients affected with endometriosis. The minimally invasive approach via laparosco…

Background and Objective: In recent years, 3D printing has been used to support surgical planning or to guide intraoperative procedures in various surgical specialties. An improvement in surgical planning for recto-sigmoid endometriosis (RS…

Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Deep Learning (DL) machine for the detection of adenomyosis on uterine ultrasonographic images and compare it to intermediate ultrasound skilled trainees. Methods: Prospective obse…

Background: A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been hypothesized based on a different prevalence of favorable EC histological prognostic factors. However, pooled risk of EC unfavorable his…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional outcomes of nerve-sparing surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with or without posterolateral parametrectomy. METHODS: A multicenter, observational, retrospective, cohort study was performe…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between sonographic findings at transperineal ultrasound (TPU) and chronic constipation (CC) in women with endometriosis. METHODS: An observational prospective cohort study was performed by enrolling all…

Background: to compare several uterine biometric parameters at transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) between adenomyosis and non-adenomyosis uteri and evaluate their role for the diagnosis of diffuse adenomyosis. Methods: prospective observational…
