STUDY QUESTION: How do the three most widely accessible large language models perform in terms of accuracy, consistency, and reliability when answering clinically relevant questions derived from the 2022 ESHRE guideline on endometriosis? S…

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and impact of impaired thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on the reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization patients diagnosed with endometriosis and compared …

Background and Objectives: Oral contraceptives (OCs) are usually used to treat endometriosis

This systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42024588171) compared the effectiveness of surgery followed by IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with direct IVF/ICSI (i.e. without previous surgery) on the reproductive outcomes of…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR) complicates a substantial proportion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, frequently causing cycle cancellation and suboptimal reproductive outcomes. Conventional follicular-phase ovarian stimulati…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis has been linked to worsened maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, reports regarding bowel endometriosis are still scanty. We aimed to evaluate pregnancy, delivery, and newborn adverse outcomes in women aft…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and quantify the impact of adenomyosis on maternal, neonatal, and obstetric outcomes. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive, unrestricted search was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Literatura Latino-Americ…

PURPOSE: Despite various stimulation protocols and adjuvant treatments, optimizing the reproductive success of women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing assisted reproduction techniques (ART) remains a challenge. The aim was to eval…

BACKGROUND: To date, there are no clear guidelines available on the treatment of adenomyosis-associated pelvic pain (AAPP); however, numerous hormonal treatments (HTs) are currently being used off-label. We conducted a systematic review and…

BACKGROUND: Hormone pre-treatment is still used before assisted reproductive technique (ART) in endometriotic women, but evidence supporting this recommendation is conflicting. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether hormone pre-treatment with gon…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of current hysteroscopic criteria compared with histopathological analysis (with or without additional immunohistochemistry) for the detection of chronic endometritis. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, Sco…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease that affects mainly women of reproductive age. It is unclear whether each form of pelvic endometriosis is an independent entity and whether a spatial relationship between all three endome…

BACKGROUND: Embryo implantation and early survival in a synchronized, receptive endometrium are critical for establishing a successful pregnancy, but uterine pathologies can present challenges to reproductive success by significantly impact…

OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and impact of impaired thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on the reproductive outcomes of in vitro fertilization patients diagnosed with endometriosis and compared …

Background and Objectives: Oral contraceptives (OCs) are usually used to treat endometriosis; however, the evidence is inconsistent about whether OC use in the past, when given to asymptomatic women, is protective against the development of…

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains a significant health challenge globally, with high mortality rates despite advancements in treatment. Emerging research suggests a potential link between OC development and genital dysbiosis, implicating alterati…

Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the …

Background/Objectives: Deep infiltrating endometriosis has been linked to worsened maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, reports regarding bowel endometriosis are still scanty. We aimed to evaluate pregnancy, delivery, and newborn advers…

Women with endometriosis were deemed more prone to COVID-19 infection in some reports. Considering that endometriosis-related aberrant immune response, understanding how COVID-19 vaccination influences its clinical status is crucial. The ai…

INTRODUCTION: Usefulness of hysteroscopy before assisted reproductive technique (ART) was considered debatable. However, over the last decade, several new trials have been added to available literature. We aimed to assess the impact of diag…

The development of minimally invasive techniques has led to the creation of innovative alternatives in cases where traditional methods are not applicable. In modern gynecology, hysteroscopy has become the gold standard for the evaluation an…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to develop a clinically applicable prediction tool to early seek for postoperative major complications after laparoscopic surgery for benign pathologies. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of prospecti…
