INTRODUCTION: Although live surgeries are routinely included in surgical congress programs, they are the subject of an ongoing debate in terms of patient safety and teaching value. The goal of our study was to assess the risk of postoperati…

BACKGROUND: To date, a majority of patients presenting with large endometriosis of the rectum are managed worldwide by colorectal resection. However, postoperative rectal function may be impacted by radical rectal surgery. OBJECTIVE: The pu…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the recurrence and pregnancy rates in women managed for ovarian endometrioma by ablation using plasma energy with and without associated surgery for colorectal endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Concomitant management o…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of ovarian endometrioma vaporization using plasma energy on antimullerian hormone (AMH) level. METHOD: We report a prospective, noncomparative series (NCT01596985). Twenty-two patients with unilateral ov…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess recurrence and pregnancy rates in women with ovarian endometrioma treated via ablation using plasma energy. DESIGN: Retrospective non-comparative pilot study including 55 patients treated during 28 months, with p…

BACKGROUND: Two surgical approaches are employed in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum (DIER): colorectal resection and nodule excision. In 2009, we introduced a new technique for transanal full thickness disc ex…

OBJECTIVES: To report the outcomes of surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis and discuss the choice between conservative and radical surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed data concerning women managed for ureteral or bladd…

OBJECTIVE: To use postoperative examination by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to compare loss of ovarian parenchyma after ovarian endometrioma ablation with the use of plasma energy versus cystectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective "before and a…

We performed a retrospective three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation of the ovarian features in ten women with no previous ovarian surgery who benefited from ablation by plasma energy for unilateral endometriomas greater than to 30 mm in di…

BACKGROUND: To evaluate intra- and postoperative complications associated with laparoscopic management of rectal endometriosis by either colorectal segmental resection or nodule excision. METHODS: During 39 consecutive months, 46 women unde…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to estimate whether or not the size of an endometrioma is related to the thickness of the ovarian parenchyma inadvertently excised along with the cyst wall. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study i…

Two surgical approaches are usually employed in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum (DIER): colorectal resection removing the rectal segment affected by the disease, and nodule excision either without opening the …

AIM: We report a case of a mixed clear cell and endometrioid carcinoma arising in parietal endometriosis. METHODS: A 46-year-old woman presented a second recurrence of parietal endometriosis. An extensive surgical resection of the tumor was…
