OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy and safety of various laparoscopic techniques for endometrioma management, focusing on their impact on fertility outcomes and ov…

Adenomyosis is associated with dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain; however, the triggering mechanisms of painful stimuli and the role of uterine nerve fibers in the manifestation of pain remain poorly understood. The objective of this stu…

OBJECTIVES: To validate probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) as a method in assessing endometriosis during conventional and robot-assisted laparoscopy. STUDY DESIGN: Pilot study, including five women in Hospital Moriah, São Pau…

Endometriosis's pathophysiology remains incompletely understood, with evidence pointing towards a dysregulated immune response. Regulatory T (Treg) cells, pivotal in maintaining self-tolerance, may facilitate the survival of ectopic endomet…

Establishing objective criteria to assess endometriosis symptoms is crucial in defining therapeutic strategies. The visual analogue scale (VAS) is the most used system to enhance the accuracy and reduce the subjectivity of pain assessment, …

Endometriosis (EDT), a common estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder, is characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. While its pathogenesis is poorly understood, it is supposed that the immune system plays a role in its p…

Endometriosis is a frequent, chronic, inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue causing pain and infertility. Macrophages have a central role in lesion establishment and maintenance by dr…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the effects of B lymphocyte inactivation or depletion on the progression of endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Skewing activated B cells toward regulatory B cells (Bregs) by Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibition us…

The pathophysiology of endometriosis is not completely understood, but an aberrant immune response in the peritoneal environment seems to be crucial for the proliferation of ectopic endometrial cells - as those cells escape apoptosis and pe…

The physiopathology of endometriosis is not completely understood and its progression is associated with a local and systemic inflammatory reaction. It is important to clarify the potential role of the immune system to better understand its…
