Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological condition affecting 10–15% of reproductive-age women, involves the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. This chronic inflammatory disease can significantly impact fertility b…

Here, we introduce a method for estimating a 'growth chart' of the fetal cortex, i.e. for estimating the average cortical growth as well as the anatomical variability around this average during pregnancy.Methods: We use 148 healthy fetal br…

OBJECTIVES: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) accounts for 15 to 40 % of exploratory laparoscopies. An exploratory laparoscopy was performed to exclude the presence of peritoneal endometriosis in patients experiencing significant impairment of thei…

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is one of the main isthmocele symptoms, together with abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary infertility. When patients undergo a laparoscopic niche repair surgery, it is important to determine if they present ass…

Endometriosis is the presence of stromal and epithelial cells outside the uterine cavity. This chronic inflammatory disease affects about 10 % of the female population in reproductive age and is responsible for chronic pelvic pain and infer…

Embryo implantation requires adequate dialogue between a good quality embryo and a receptive endometrium. This implantation is still considered as the black box of reproductive medicine. Endometriosis is a highly prevalent chronic inflammat…

The rise of oocytes cryopreservation (OOC) in assisted reproductive techniques allows fertility preservation (FP) in an increasing number of indications. Endometriosis, a highly prevalent disease, potentially impairing ovarian reserve, seem…

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease causing pain and infertility in about 10% of women of reproductive age. Treatment nowadays consists of m…

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a rare but life-threatening complication, for both the mother and the fetus. Its exact incidence is unknown. Several pathophysiological mechanisms have been suggested. However, the etiology …

Abstract Background Forty percent of exploratory laparoscopies are performed for chronic pelvic pain (CPP). However, a final diagnosis is still unreported in 35% of the patients. We decided to evaluate the identification of pathological les…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) responds variably to hormonal therapy. Mutations in cancer driver genes have been identified in a fraction of the ectopic endometrial epithelial cells, suggesting a functional heterogeneity of these les…

Minimal and mild endometriosis (stages I/II) is frequently identified in subfertile patients, especially in case of unexplained infertility. The impact of those lesions on fecundity is still debatted and they have been considered as paraphy…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease usually diagnosed at adult age, even the symptoms begin at adolescence. The medical history could help for the diagnosis and could select the patients for medical or surgical treatment. The main criterion …

L’endometriose se definit par la presence de tissu endometrial (glandes et stroma) en dehors de la cavite uterine. Il s’agit d’une pathologie benigne touchant 3% de la population generale et environ 10% des femmes en âge de procreer (1). So…

Endometriosis is usually described as a complex multifactorial disease involving dysregulation of estrogen metabolism, inflammatory and immunological mechanisms. Recently, many authors have questioned the environmental pollution and toxins …
