BACKGROUND: MY-ENDO (Mind Your ENDOmetriosis) is a mindfulness- and acceptance-based endometriosis self-management intervention aimed at teaching women with symptomatic endometriosis how to manage and reduce negative physical, psychological…

OBJECTIVE: To develop a machine learning method for the automatic recognition of endometriosis lesions during laparoscopic surgery and evaluate its feasibility and performance. DESIGN: Collecting and annotating surgical videos and training,…

Background: Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis presents unique challenges due to the complexity of and variability in lesion appearances within the abdominal cavity. This study investigates the application of deep learning models for ob…

Abstract Background Endometriosis is a complex condition with a wide range of comorbidities. It is widely underdiagnosed, with a diagnostic delay of 4 to 10 years, potentially leading to worsened disease progression and a higher burden of c…
