PURPOSE: Adenomyosis is a chronic uterine disorder characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, frequently associated with dysmenorrhea, abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and dyspareunia. No s…
BACKGROUND: To describe a novel laparoscopic technique, prophylactic ureteral suturing (PUS), developed to reinforce structurally weakened ureteral segments following extensive ureterolysis for deep endometriosis, to avoid segmental resecti…
Background: Serum biomarkers such as Carcinoma Antigen 125 (CA125) and Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) are widely used in the diagnosis and prognosis of gynecological malignancies. Serum biomarkers such as CA125 and HE4 represent essential…
The efficacy of hyaluronic acid instillations as therapy for patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) has been demonstrated in some clinical studies, with response rates up to 70%. The aim of the study is to invest…
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the eighth most common cancer in women. Since screening programs do not exist, it is often diagnosed in advanced stages. Today, the detection of OC is based on clinical examination, transvaginal ultrasound (US), and s…

BACKGROUND: Many women diagnosed with gynecological cancers undergo adjuvant therapy, which may lead to transient or permanent menopause that ultimately leads to urogenital syndrome and vulvovaginal atrophy. Studies advise against the use o…
OBJECTIVE: Recto-vaginal endometriosis remains a surgical challenge. We propose a systematic surgical approach combining vaginal and laparoscopic steps for patients affected by deep endometriosis infiltrating the vaginal wall. STUDY DESIGN…
BACKGROUND: Recognition of different anatomic structures might be difficult in the presence of diseases such as neoplasm or endometriosis that can subvert the anatomy. This can be a challenge for young surgeons approaching gynecologic surge…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of FloSeal, a 2-component (collagen granules and thrombin) topical hemostatic agent for the control of minor bleeding of the ovarian wall at the end of the laparoscopic stripping procedure for endometrio…
