BACKGROUND: PCOS-related infertility is closely linked to metabolic dysfunction. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) improve insulin resistance and promote weight loss in women with PCOS, but their direct effect on reproduc…

OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate familial transmission patterns in women with endometriosis by generating a customized single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. METHODS: Patients aged 18-45 who were diagnosed histopathologically…

Uterine leiomyomas, also known as fibroids or myoma uteri, are the most common benign pelvic tumor in women. They are monoclonal tumors arising from the smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts of the myometrium. Uterine leiomyomas are usually d…

The study aimed to evaluate whether there is a difference in the expression of programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) in the cell lining of endometrioma between cases with and without recurrent disease. Additionally, we sought to assess the…

OBJECTIVE: This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness, safety and efficacy of 2 surgical tissue extraction methods for treating bowel endometriosis: natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) and minilaparotomy. DATA SOURCES: A sys…

Embryo migration is defined as the movement of embryos to implant at the exact site in the endometrial cavity during assisted reproductive technology (ART). We aimed to evaluate the impact of embryo migration on clinical pregnancy (CPR) and…

AIM: To compare the pregnancy outcomes between physiologic saline and G-Rinse medium solution for cervical mucus washing, in fresh elective single-embryo transfers (ET) in women under the age of 37. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a retrosp…

OBJECTIVE: To study the prostanoid profile of the endometria of patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF), unexplained infertility (UIF), and recurrent miscarriages (RM), and to compare them with the endometria of healthy fertile c…

PURPOSE: This is a retrospective cohort study that evaluates the postoperative pain findings of a consecutive series of laparoscopic surgeries for deep endometriosis (DE). METHODS: This multi-center retrospective cohort study was carried o…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the relationship of clinical pregnancy rates with bone morphogenetic proteins 2-4-7 (BMP 2, 4, 7), growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF 9), and Emmprin levels in follicular fluid of intracytoplasmic sperm injection pati…

Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium grows outside of the uterus. One of its severe effects is that it may cause infertility. Investigating only the symptoms of the disease is insufficient for the diagnosis. The correct and…

Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium, the layer of tissue that usually covers the inside of the uterus, grows outside the uterus. One of its severe effects is sub-fertility. The exact reason for endometriosis is still unkno…

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the immunohistochemical (IHC) differences of endometrioma tissues that may have the potential to progress to ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) by using KRAS, HNF1β, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, and ARID1A as biomarkers. STUDY…

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian detorsion in patients with ovarian torsion. METHODS: From February 2014 to September 2015, a total of 11 patients with ovarian torsion underwent laparosc…

OBJECTIVE: To see whether the oocytes retrieved from an ovary with an endometrioma would develop into embryos with aberrant timings of cleavage as assessed using time-lapse monitoring (TLM) and poorer morphologic quality compared with sibli…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a well-established reason for infertility and optimal management and ovulation induction protocols in infertility patients with endometriosis are debated. Operative compared with conservative management with a…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes of long gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) and GnRH-antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols in endometriosis patients who have un…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic disease that is defined by the existence of ectopic glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Some hormonal therapies have been suggested to treat pain that is caused be endometriosis. The basic pr…

The aim of the study was to evaluate apoptosis through regulation of Bcl-2, Bax and Mcl-1 proteins by comparing their expressions in endometriotic cyst lesions and the endometrium of the patients with moderate to severe endometriosis. This …

Purpose: The objective of the current study was to evaluate whether the analysis of different proinflammatory and angiogenesis-regulating cytokines in a well-defined patient population can be accurate for the diagnosis of endometriosis at d…
