OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of dienogest treatment on endometrioma (OMA) size, serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels and associated pain over a 12-month follow-up period. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A longitudinal cohort study of 104 pat…

Abstract Study question Is there a protective effect of oral sphingosine-1-phosphate analogue (S1P) on ovarian reserve? Summary answer The use of oral long acting S1P analogue may reduce spontaneous primordial follicle loss and preserve ova…

Abstract Study question Does utilization of dienogest make any impact on the size of cyst and Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) concentration in patients with endometrioma throughout 12-months? Summary answer Although dienogest makes a gradual r…

PURPOSE: There is no established non-invasive method to diagnose patients with endometriosis. As a nondestructive type of radiation, infrared light might be used for discrimination by causing vibration of the covalent bonds of the molecules…

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease affecting 10-15% of reproductive aged women and is encountered in 25-35% of women suffering from infertility. IVF is an effective tool to overcome endometriosis-associated infertility when expectant man…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To analyze whether the presence of endometriosis per se is associated with inferior pregnancy rates in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: Between July 2005 and November 2012, a total of 485 patients wi…

Study question: To compare the pregnancy rate in patients submitted to FET (Frozen Embryos Transfer) of cleavage stage embryos (Group 1), or at the blastocyst stage (Group 2). Summary answer: Our data showed that the transfer of frozen blas…

BACKGROUND: Our aim was to determine the effect of single endometriomas ≤3 cm in diameter per se on ovarian reserve in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. METHODS: We enrolled 19 consecutive infertile patients (29 cycles) who h…

We report 2 patients with pelvic-peritoneal tuberculosis and elevated serum and peritoneal fluid levels of Ca-125. The first was a young and infertile women who had cul-de-sac nodularity and dysmenorrhea. The other was postmenopausal and pr…

OBJECTIVE: To present an endometrial osseous metaplasia case and reemphasize that the condition is a cause of secondary infertility. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in a university hospital in Turkey.…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of prior unilateral or bilateral endometrioma cystectomy on controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome. DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study. SETTING: …

An ovarian adenomyoma developed in a 38-year-old infertile patient following treatment with exogenous gonadotrophins. Laparoscopic excision was performed. Histological examination showed thick muscular bundles resembling myometrium lined wi…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of endometriosis on the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study which enrolled 1280 consecutive cycles of 834 couples of ICSI with ejaculate…

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether insulinlike growth factor I (IGF I), IGF II and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP 3) in serum and peritoneal fluid (PF) correlate with the presence and severity of endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Case-control study in…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the extent of adhesion formation after laparoscopic removal of endometriomas. DESIGN: Prospective case series. SETTING: A university hospital. PATIENTS: Nineteen infertile women with ovarian endometriomas. I…

Unilateral or bilateral cystectomy for endometriomas was performed in 90 infertile women. Using a multipuncture technique, a cortical incision was made on the medial aspect of the ovary with sharp-tipped unipolar coagulation. Cystectomy was…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the results of IVF-ET in couples with long-standing unexplained infertility who had failed to conceive with four to six cycles of superovulation and IUI. DESIGN: Retrospective case control series. SETTING: Universi…

Despite widespread use of operative laparoscopy for removal of endometriomata, there are inadequate data regarding subsequent adhesion formation. We performed second look laparoscopy (SLL) within 6 months of laparoscopic endometriosis cyste…

Tubal and peritoneal factors continue to be a leading cause of infertility. In vitro fertilization, operative laparoscopy, and microsurgery are alternatives, but they are frequently complimentary therapeutic approaches. Proper investigation…
