BACKGROUND: Intraoperative ureteral injury, although uncommon, can result in significant morbidity and medicolegal consequences, particularly during complex gynecologic procedures such as endometriosis excision and prolapse repair. Conventi…

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the association between obesity and the presence of bowel endometriosis in patients undergoing surgery. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted with patients treated betwee…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the correlation between levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)-which serves as an indicator of ovarian reserve-and inflammation markers in women with endometriomas. METHODS: This retrospective investigation involved 9…

Endometriosis affects approximately one in 10 women and people assigned female at birth of reproductive age, yet diagnosis is still delayed by years, historically because confirmation required laparoscopy. This review synthesizes which non-…

Endometriosis is estimated to affect 5%-10% of women of reproductive age, making timely diagnosis essential for initiating treatment, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of disease progression. Unfortunately, the diagnostic delay in…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of two laparoscopic techniques for bowel endometriosis and determine the optimal laparoscopic segmental resection technique with mesentery preservation. MATERIALS AND METHOD…

BACKGROUND: Uterine adenomyosis involves the growth of endometrial gland and stroma within the uterine musculature. Patients with uterine adenomyosis experience heavy painful periods, deep dyspareunia and subfertility, reducing their overal…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate central arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular biomarkers in women with ovarian endometriosis and to explore their associations compared with age-matched controls. METHODS: This cross-sect…

OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of retrospective outcomes of NovaSure treatment in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, including safety and cost-effectiveness, and risk factors related to therapeutic outcomes. Subgroup analysis was conducted for…

In this report, we describe two cases of diaphragmatic endometriosis with concurrent hepatorenal recess peritoneal involvement managed using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery with the da Vinci Xi platform. In both patients, diaphragmati…

BACKGROUND: Patients increasingly use large language model (LLM)-based chatbots to seek health information. Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, infertility, an…

Spontaneous uterine rupture in an unscarred uterus is a rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency, and endometriosis has increasingly been recognized as a potential risk factor. We report a 33-year-old primigravid woman with primary inf…

Uterine rupture is an infrequent yet sometimes fatal complication of a subsequent vaginal birth attempt following a previous uterine surgery. We have chosen to write about spontaneous uterine ruptures following myomectomy due to the scarcit…

OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is increasing globally. Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a major cause of infertility. While associations between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome have been repor…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocol on follicular synchrony in a subsequent in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle in patients whose previous cycle was canceled due to asynchrony. METHODS: A single…

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…

The WHO 'Guideline for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infertility' heralds a significant global shift towards recognizing infertility as a medical condition requiring prevention, diagnosis, treatment and policy support. This rec…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the anatomical distribution and laterality patterns of ovarian endometriosis (OE) and deep endometriosis (DE) using TVS and the #Enzian classification, and to evaluate the association between lesion location and the c…

Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder characterized by substantial heterogeneity in lesion distribution, symptom presentation, disease severity, and reproductive impact, which limits the effectiveness of uniform treatment strategies…
