PURPOSE: To synthesize current evidence on metabolomic alterations in women with adenomyosis and identify recurrent metabolic patterns that may clarify disease pathophysiology and support biomarker research. METHODS: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus…
Background: /Objectives: Clinical management of uterine fibroids in the context of infertility is characterised by significant heterogeneity. The aim of our study was to record the participants’ views and clinical practices regarding minim…
STUDY QUESTION: How do unoperated ovarian endometriomas affect ovarian response during ovarian stimulation cycles? SUMMARY ANSWER: Ovaries affected by unoperated ovarian endometriomas show similar outcomes to unaffected ovaries following c…
BACKGROUND: Advanced endometriosis (Stage III/IV) represents a particularly severe variant of endometriosis with more pronounced symptomatology and challenging surgical treatment. This review shall examine the role of robotic surgery, the l…
Background and Objectives: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the medical field is rapidly expanding. This review aims to explore and summarize all published research on the development and validation of deep learning (DL) models in…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition affecting 10% of reproductive-aged women, often associated with infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis and alterations…
PURPOSE: Menopause has been associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study primarily aimed to evaluate changes in non-invasive indices of hepatic steatosis in premenopausal women with endometrio…
The assessment of the ovarian reserve is important in patients with fertility intent. The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum level is a useful ovarian reserve marker. Endometriosis is a benign disease with three phenotypes: superficial peri…
Pelvic tumors, especially those in difficult locations such as tumors in the rectouterine pouch in contact with the sigmoid colon, pose therapeutic approach difficulties due to the increased risk of complications, such as intestinal perfora…
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to demonstrate how to identify and preserve the inferior hypogastric nerve (IHN) during gynecological laparoscopic surgeries, in cases where the nerve is not infiltrated by pathological processes such as d…
Objectives of Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology (PAG): PAG aims to foster a collaborative environment that bridges knowledge from various disciplines to ensure the highest quality of care for children and adolescents with gynaecological…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate existing questionnaires on predictive models for endometriosis. These symptom-based models have the potential to serve as screening tools for adult women to detect endometriosis. D…
Ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) has gained attention as a minimally invasive treatment option for ovarian endometriomas, particularly in infertile women with endometrioma undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Endometriomas are associated wit…
Large ovarian endometriomas may cause severe pressure symptoms and often require surgical management. The laparoscopic approach, although challenging, is feasible and safe when performed by surgeons with advanced minimal access skills, prov…
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like glands and stroma outside the endometrial cavity, which mainly occurs in the pelvic cavity. Pulmonary endometriosis, or thoracic endometriosis…
Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe form of endometriosis and is commonly associated with infertility. Surgical treatment of DE appears to increase chances of spontaneous conception in appropriately selected patients wishing to conce…
Minimal/mild endometriosis (MME) is independently associated with reduced fecundity rates. In this review article, we discuss the role of laparoscopic surgery in enhancing the fertility outcomes of patients with MME. Laparoscopic management…
Background and Objectives: Adenomyosis (the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma below the endometrial-myometrial junction) is a benign condition which is increasingly diagnosed in younger women suffering from infertility. The …
Both endometriosis and ovarian dermoid cysts are benign conditions characterized by the presence of well-differentiated tissues in ectopic locations. The presence and surgical excision of these entities can potentially impact ovarian reserv…
Accurate diagnosis and assessment of endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) can be challenging. We performed an online survey of specialist gynecologists who perform TVS on a regular basis regarding their views as well as clini…
Most abdominal masses in the pediatric population derive from the ovaries. Ovarian masses can occur in all ages, although their incidence, clinical presentation and histological distribution vary among different age groups. Children and ado…
Ovarian endometriomas have a negative impact on a patient's reproductive potential and are likely to cause a reduction in ovarian reserve. The most commonly employed ovarian reserve parameters are anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral fol…
INTRODUCTION: Ovarian endometrioma is a common subtype of endometriosis with a prevalence between 17 and 44%. The reported average recurrence of endometrioma after surgical management is 21.5% after 2 years and 40-50% after 5 years. The aim…
In women with deep endometriosis, the spontaneous fertility rate might range from 2 to 10%. The optimal management of these women is still an area of debate. Therefore, this review aims to explore the literature on the impact of deep endome…
