Background: In the pathogenesis of endometriosis adhesions play a major role. Applying adhesion barrier on the peritoneal wound that might act as a seeding ground could also prevent endometrial cells to adhere, invade and grow and thus caus…

CONTEXT: In the last two decades, a color based concept of disease activity in peritoneal endometriosis has been in use in the clinical context, with red lesions being considered active and black or white lesions being interpreted as less a…

Hintergrund: Endometrioseherde können an multiplen Lokalisationen auftreten. Peritoneale, ovarielle und tiefinfiltrierende Läsionen kommen vor. Operationsindikationen können Schmerzen, eine Sterilität oder beides sein. Die Frage, ob die Lok…

Background: There is no screening program for ovarian or endometrial cancer. One way to address the problem could be the utilization of risk factors to define sub-populations with a higher incidence. Recently, there were hints that endometr…

Hintergrund: Die Risikostratifizierung der Endometriose ist ein Forschungsgebiet mit spärlichen Erkenntnissen. Endometriose und ein Uterus myomatosus werden als Risikofaktor für tubare Sterilität diskutiert. Ziel dieser großen deutschen End…

Question: Ulipristalacetate (UPA) has been previously demonstrated to inhibit the estradiol and progesterone induced proliferative response of normal endometrial cells in culture. We predicted that UPA would inhibit proliferation of endomet…

Endometriose ist definiert als das Auftreten von endometrialen Zellverbänden außerhalb des Cavum uteri ([Tab. 1]). Mit 4–30 % aller Frauen im reproduktionsfähigen Alter stellt sie die häufigste gynäkologische Erkrankung dar. Nach Schätzunge…

We identified differentially expressed genes comparing peritoneal endometriosis lesions (n = 18), eutopic endometrium (n = 17), and peritoneum (n = 22) from the same patients with complete menstrual cycles using microarrays (54 675 probe se…

PURPOSE: To construct pain maps in order to describe the distribution of pelvic pain in a group of endometriosis patients and endometriosis-free patients, to assess the feasibility of this method. METHODS: A total of 159 patients with pelv…

Objective: The etiology of endometriosis is still a research field in which few consistent data are available. Large case-control studies or even cohort studies are rare, and most of the published data are conflicting. The aim of the presen…
