OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the clinical evidence on intraoperative navigation techniques in endometriosis surgery. DATA SOURCES: In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted in the datab…
The objective of this work was to compare the perioperative safety and operative efficacy of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) versus conventional laparoscopy surgery (CLS) in women with symptomatic colorectal endometriosis, with particular fo…
OBJECTIVE: Excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis in the parametrium involving pelvic nerves can be challenging and requires good anatomical knowledge and surgical strategy [1]. Based on our experience, we have identified two important…
INTRODUCTION: Many women with endometriosis turn to digital sources for information. Meanwhile, large language models (LLMs) appear capable of offering health advice. This study aimed to evaluate the potential in answering endometriosis-rel…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The association between endometriosis and congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) has been discussed for decades, but existing evidence about this association is scarce. Our study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of CUAs in wom…
PURPOSE: The surgical treatment of endometriosis, which is routinely performed by minimally invasive approach, is developing towards an increasing complexity in deep endometriosis. While RAS appears to be gaining importance, there are few r…
