The introduction of modern-day minimally invasive surgery (MIS) marked a turning point in the history of medicine, driving one of the sharpest declines in surgical mortality and morbidity ever recorded-standing alongside antisepsis and anti…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a category of small (18-25 nucleotides) non-coding transcripts that modulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, are necessary for regulatory processes in female reproduction, specifically in ovarian funct…

Endometriosis, a common and complex gynecologic disorder, continues to pose a challenge to clinicians in diagnosis process due to its complexity. The aim of this review was to examine cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) and microRNAs (miRNAs) as bi…

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent disease that has historically been underdiagnosed, especially in patients with unexplained infertility. On average, diagnosis is delayed by 11 years, unders…

Background: Current endometriosis classification systems have important limitations in accurately describing total disease burden and predicting clinical outcomes. Existing staging frameworks often fail to integrate adenomyosis and do not a…

The introduction of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) marked a turning point in the history of medicine, driving one of the sharpest declines in surgical mortality and morbidity ever recorded-saving millions of lives and sparing an estimated…

Bowel endometriosis is a complex condition predominantly impacting women in their reproductive years, which may lead to chronic pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and infertility. This review highlights current approaches to the diagnosis and…

Endometriosis poses significant challenges for women of reproductive age, particularly due to its impact on ovarian reserve and fertility. In addition to endometriosis-associated infertility contributing to diminished ovarian reserve by inf…

Infertility affects a significant portion of couples globally. In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a widely utilized assisted reproductive technology (ART). Despite significant advancements, IVF success rates remain suboptimal, which necessitat…

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disease that commonly affects bowel structures, including the appendix, where it may mimic or coexist with chronic appendicitis. Visual inspection alone often fails to …

Background: Endometriosis is a systemic, inflammatory, estrogen-dependent condition characterized by endometrial stroma and gland-like lesions outside of the uterus. It causes a range of symptoms, notably chronic pelvic pain, infertility an…

Endometriosis is a prevalent condition that affects millions of individuals globally, leading to various symptoms and significant disruptions to their quality of life. However, the diagnosis of endometriosis often encounters delays, emphasi…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to compare the effect of ovarian suspension and hyaluronic acid gel to prevent re-adhesions after laparoscopic endometrioma surgery. METHODS: This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Rasoul-e-Akram and P…

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is one of the causes of female infertility, but the prevalence of endometriosis is not exactly known. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide an estimate of the prevalence of endo…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of vaginal isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide [INH]) and vaginal misoprostol in cervical ripening before hysteroscopic surgery. METHODS: This randomized controlled tri…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: A tourniquet has been suggested as a useful means of reducing massive hemorrhage during myomectomy. However, it is not clear whether the restricted perfusion affects the ovaries. In the present study, we examined …

Background: Endometriosis is routinely treated with laparoscopy, which despite significant advantages over laparotomy cannot diminish postoperative pain. Insufficient postoperative pain control decreases patient satisfaction. Objectives: Th…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis, a common hormone-dependent chronic inflammatory disease causes various symptoms including pelvic pain, which affect the physical and psychological quality of life in women of reproductive age. The present study aim…

Background: Endometriosis is a common gynecologic problem in women of reproductive age around the globe. The aim of this study was to specify the factors influencing endometriosis in women of reproductive age using logistic regression and a…

A 37-year-old woman underwent surgery to remove bilateral vulvar masses. The masses were firm, non-tender, and immobile. Pathologic finding was a well-delineated creamy grayish mass with a homogenous grayish solid surface and mild edema, ch…

BACKGROUND: Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard for evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (T…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of laparoscopic cystectomy on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level as a marker of ovarian reserve in patients with endometrioma. METHODS: A prospective observational study enrolled patients aged young…

Background: Endometriosis changes the management of infertile women. Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate some of the clinical predictive factors among an Iranian infertile population. Patients and Methods: Infertile women, scheduled for dia…
