Adnexal masses are relatively common, contributing to gynecologist office volume and surgical case load. The development of minimally invasive techniques and a greater focus on fertility preservation have led to the favoring of a laparoscop…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of myeloperoxidase (MPO), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in peripheral and menstrual blood in women wi…

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the type and incidence of postoperative complications after surgery for deep infiltrative endometriosis at Biocor Hospital. METHODS: Our observational study involved a multidisciplinary surgical team that performed lapa…

The position of hysteroscopy in current fertility practice is under debate. There are many randomized controlled trials on technical feasibility and patient compliance demonstrating that the procedure is well tolerated and effective in the …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic benign gynecologic disease that can cause pelvic pain and infertility affecting almost 10% of reproductive-age women. Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a specific entity responsible for painfu…

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is defined as pain of at least 6 months' duration that occurs in the lower abdomen or below the umbilicus and has resulted in functional or psychological disability or required intervention and treatment. Therapeut…

AIM: Inflammation is as an important factor in ovulation with the active participation of leucocytes and their inflammatory mediators. The present study was performed to compare the activity of the inflammatory enzymes myeloperoxidase (MPO)…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease afffecting about 10% of all reproductive-age women which can significantly impair quality of life. As the clinical presentation is variable, with some women experiencing several severe symptom…

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether androgen receptor (AR) and the enzymes that convert testosterone into the more potent androgen dihydrotestosterone, 5alpha-reductases (5alpha-R1 and 5alpha-R2) are expressed in pelvic endometrio…

Lack of expression or a deficiency of 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17beta-HSD2), a key enzyme in estradiol inactivation, could be involved in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate …
