BACKGROUND: Management of endometriosis should be based on the best available evidence. The pyramid of evidence reflects unbiased observations analysed with traditional statistics. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the clinical interpretatio…

Die Endometriose ist eine komplexe Erkrankung mit sehr unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen und Symptomen. Die bisher verwendeten Klassifikationen geben das Ausmaß der Erkrankung nur unzureichend wieder. Die #Enzian-Klassifikation ist eine …

Endometriosis is a benign disease with a wide variety of manifestations and symptoms, which primarily affects women of childbearing age and in some cases has a fundamental and permanent impact on their quality of life. Although the genesis …

Endometriosis represents one of the most common causes of life-impacting chronic pelvic pain and female infertility. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an increasing role in the diagnosis and mapping of endometriosis, while diagnostic l…

OBJECTIVE: To calculate the predictive value and thus the clinical usefulness of transvaginal ultrasound (US) imaging for the management of deep endometriosis, knowing that the positive predictive value (PPV) varies with the prevalence and …

Introduction Endometriosis significantly reduces patients' quality of life and is additionally a burden on healthcare and social security systems. There are currently no quality indicators for the treatment of endometriosis. The care of pat…

In deep endometriosis (DE), clusters of endometrium-like cells penetrate more than 5 mm below the peritoneum: The affected organs and tissue structures can eventuate in an alteration of the anatomy with eliminated organ boundaries, which in…

Evidence-based data for endometriosis management are limited. Experiments are excluded without adequate animal models. Data are limited to symptomatic women and occasional observations. Hormonal medical therapy cannot be blinded if recognis…

Umbilical endometriosis which was first described by Villar in 1886 is a rare clinical entity with a frequency of only 0.5-1%. The overall prevalence rate of endometriosis among women in their reproductive age is put at 5-10%. This is a des…

PURPOSE: To compare the location and sizes of deep endometriosis (DE) lesions evaluated by preoperative transvaginal sonography (TVS) in different #Enzian compartments with intraoperatively assessed DE location and size. MATERIALS AND METH…

STUDY QUESTION: How is endometriosis extent described by the #Enzian classification compared to the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) stages in women undergoing radical surgery for deep endometriosis (DE)? SUMMARY …

Deep endometriosis (DE) surgery often requires advanced knowledge in laparoscopic surgery due to the location of affected organs such as the bowel, vagina, rectovaginal space including adjacent nerve structures, ureters and urinary bladder.…

Background Patients suffering from colorectal deep endometriosis (DE) experience gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms with almost the same frequency as gynaecological pain symptoms. Preoperatively existing GI symptoms may translate into pathologi…

Abstract Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition typically treated via laparoscopic surgery. Its visual versatility makes it hard to identify for non-specialized physicians and challenging to classify or localize via computer-aided …

Introduccin. La asociacin entre endometriosis e infertilidad est claramente definida en la literatura, establecer la relacin fisiopatolgicas entre estas enfermedades dado el impacto que generan en la calidad de vida es un tema de inters en …

Gynecological ultrasonography plays a central role in the management of endometriosis. The rapid technical development as well as the currently increasing evidence for non-invasive diagnostic methods require an updated compilation of recomm…

Without an animal model and a non-invasive diagnosis, the pathophysiology of endometriosis is unclear and information is limited to symptomatic women. Lesions are biochemically variable. Medical therapy cannot be blinded and extensive surge…

INTRODUCTION: Surgical experience and hospital procedure volumes have been associated with the risk of severe complications in expert centers for endometriosis in France. However, little is known about other certified units in Central Europ…

BACKGROUND: Without an adequate animal model permitting experiments the pathophysiology of endometriosis remains unclear and without a non-invasive diagnosis, information is limited to symptomatic women. Lesions are macroscopically and bioc…

Endometriosis of the urinary tract (UTE) is rare, but has great impact on the patient. An infestation of the urinary bladder has typical symptoms and can be diagnosed relatively well and reliably. Depending on the size and location of the l…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) with surgical assessment of disease, using the #Enzian classification for endometriosis. …

This cumulative dataset includes two versions of GLENDA (Gynecologic Laparoscopy ENdometriosis DAtaset). Following list gives a brief description of all contained classes (both versions). Peritoneum: As one of the most frequently diagnosed …
