OBJECTIVE: To compare surgery and assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment on reproductive outcomes among women with rectosigmoid endometriosis. DESIGN: Multicenter, parallel-group, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial. SETTIN…

INTRODUCTION: Deep endometriosis (DE) involving the bowel presents a complex management challenge. While surgery is often emphasized, limited evidence exists on long-term outcomes of conservative (non-surgical) management. This study aimed …

INTRODUCTION: A transabdominal cerclage is inserted to prevent recurrent midtrimester loss and spontaneous preterm birth. The transabdominal cerclage often remains as a permanent foreign body for years. Synthetic materials within the abdome…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate whether the use of levonorgestrel intrauterine devices (LNG-IUD) is associated with an increased need for medically assisted reproductive (MAR) treatment compared to other contraceptive methods. M…

STUDY QUESTION: How does pre-diagnosis use of hospital care differentiate between women later diagnosed with endometriosis and age-matched controls without a diagnosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with hospital-diagnosed endometriosis had more f…

OBJECTIVE: To study the association between previous use of levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and endometrial thickness (EMT) in women undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. DESIG…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether treatment with oral corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) improves pregnancy outcomes in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) following assisted reproduction technology (ART…

PURPOSE: Despite standard medical treatment endometriosis is often associated with disabling pain and poor quality of life (QoL). Studies indicate that psychological interventions (PIs) may improve pain and QoL, yet studies on the effects o…

STUDY QUESTION: Do women with endometriosis have higher utilization of primary and secondary healthcare prior to diagnosis compared to women without endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with a hospital-based diagnosis of endometriosis had …

INTRODUCTION: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the rectum or sigmoid colon is associated with infertility, severe pain and decreased quality of life. As most women with DIE are young, many have a pregnancy intention. Treatmen…

RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the optimal serum progesterone cut-off level in patients with endometriosis undergoing hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) with intensive progesterone luteal phase support? DESIGN: A coho…

INTRODUCTION: Placebo-controlled surgical designs are recommended to ascertain treatment effects for elective surgeries when there is genuine doubt about the effectiveness of the surgery. Some elective surgeries for pain have been unable to…

Abstract Study question What is the optimal serum progesterone (P4) cut-off level for endometriosis patients undergoing hormone replacement therapy frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) with intensive exogenous progesterone luteal phase support?…

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to investigate the association between clinically significant uterine fibroids and preterm birth, caesarean section (CS), postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), placental abruption, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and u…

INTRODUCTION: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain. However, some patients have limited problems that may be controlled by medical treatment, so avoiding the potentially severe complications of major surgery. Thi…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in women with atrial septal defect (ASD), and to examine the maternal characteristics and outcome of pregnancy, as well as the fetal outcome of infants born by women with ASD. METHODS:…

Study question: Do women with endometriosis experience worsening in endometriosis symptoms (quality of life, pain, bowel symptoms) when undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) during assisted reproductive techniques (ART)? Summary a…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether mid-luteal serum progesterone (P4) exhibits significant fluctuations during a 12-h daytime period in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) and to explore whether the extent of these fluctuations cou…

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to assess the intra- and interobserver variability of two- and three-dimensional rectosigmoid nodule size measurements by transvaginal sonography in patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis. MATERIAL …

BACKGROUND: Surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis carries a substantial risk of short- and long-term complications, which has to be counterbalanced against the potential effect of the procedure. Prospective data are scarce in the field of …

INTRODUCTION: Altogether 10% of all women of fertile age suffer from endometriosis, and up to 25% of these women require assisted reproductive technology (ART) to conceive. During ART the process of controlled ovarian stimulation causes hig…

STUDY QUESTION: Is it possible to develop a validated score that can identify women with Bowel Endometriosis Syndrome (BENS) and be used to monitor the effect of medical and surgical treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER: The BENS score can be used to…
