OBJECTIVE: Cystic adenomyoma is a lesion located within the myometrium. It is lined with endometrium and has hemorrhagic content. This rare entity has been described as a focal form of adenomyosis. However, it is poorly understood, and the …

OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of laparoscopy before in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment on live birth rates in patients with distal unilateral tubal obstruction (UTO). METHODS: Retrospective cohort study which was conducted in tertiar…

This review provides an overview of current knowledge on the relationship between various environmental factors and endometriosis. We successively searched for a given exposure factor combined with the word "endometriosis." The literature w…

OBJECTIVE: Deep infiltrating endometriosis(DIE) of the bowel may require segmental bowel resection. The subsequent reconstruction can be performed through an end-to-end(E-E) or a side-to-end (S-E)anastomosis, the latter being used in low re…

OBJECTIVE: Investigate potential factors associated with non-visualisation of tubal patency during Hysterosalpingo-Foam-Sonography (HyFoSy). STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective study was carried out at the medically assisted procreation centr…

Deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis and its surgical management is associated with a risk of major postoperative complications. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is recommended preoperatively in order to obtain the most precise mapping of…

Patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer frequently present with peritoneal carcinomatosis, and a diaphragmatic involvement is observed in about 40% of cases. The goal of treatment includes complete surgical cytoreduction associated with…

INTRODUCTION: Deep infiltrative endometriosis can lead to infertility with a spontaneous pregnancy rate between 8.7 and 13%. Surgical treatment of bowel endometriosis may improve spontaneous and ART fertility. The aim of this study was to e…

AIM: As known, inflammatory substances are considered to have a role in the onset and progression of endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to find a biomarker that can be used in the diagnosis of endometriosis by investigating the serum le…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis refers to a pathological damage resulting from local and diffuse lesions in endometrium, caused by invasive endometrial gland and its mesenchyme. Our study aimed to reveal miR-183's role in the development of adenomy…

PURPOSE: To evaluate stoma-related complications after rectal resection and colorectal anastomosis with diverting stoma for deep infiltrating colorectal endometriosis. METHODS: All the consecutive adult women who underwent colorectal resec…

OBJECTIVE: Oocyte retrieval is a painful, but essential element of IVF/ICSI. Evidence for the best method of analgesia is lacking. In the Netherlands, the three most common analgesia protocols entail administration of oral analgesics, intra…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a complication of endometriosis. We describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of mother and fetus in 11 new cases of SHiP with endometriosis and 43 cases reported in the…

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was whether endometriosis influences IVF/ICSI and subsequent pregnancy and obstetric outcomes. METHODS: Searches were performed on PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Web of Science. Most of the included studies …

INTRODUCTION: Ectopic pregnancy(EP) is the implantation of a fertilized ovum outside of the uterine cavity. The incidence of EP has steadily increased around the world. The present umbrella review evaluated risk factors prior to conception …

Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disease characterized by invasion of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Clinically, it can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Adenomyosis has historically…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma grow in areas outside the uterus. A simple blood test for endometriosis-specific biomarkers would offer a more timely accurate diagnosis of the disease and…

BACKGROUND: This economic evaluation and literature review was conducted with the primary aim to compare the cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic assisted supracervical hysterectomy (LASH) with NICE's gold-standard treatment of Levonorgestrel…

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess a human cadaver model of sacral plexus dissection for learning about deep innervation in the female pelvis, and the latter's relationship with deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: This…

INTRODUCTION: This study evaluates the clinical utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the determination of presence and extent of DIE with special emphasis on effects of MRI reporting training MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data from 80 pa…

INTRODUCTION: Traditional diagnostic workup for Endometrial carcinoma in women with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) involves endometrial biopsy. Addition of colour and power Doppler ultrasound to transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) might help…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the risk factors associated with dysmenorrhea in adenomyosis and to discuss the potential hormone-based understanding of pain mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN: Adenomyosis patients with mild or no dysmenorrhea (n = 40, Group…

The review aims to explore circulating small non- coding regulatory Ribonucleic Acids (miRNA) as biomarkers of endometriosis; a reproductive age group disorder. miRNA are linked with genetic, epigenetic and angiogenic factors, hormones, cyt…

OBJECTIVE: Toll-like receptors (TLRs, as members of the innate immune system) are expressed in the human endometrium and their aberrant regulation and expression are involved in the pathogenesis of endometrial diseases. This study is aimed …

OBJECTIVE: To assess general practitioners' (GPs') knowledge of and practice in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis following the publication of updated French national guidelines in 2017. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive, an…
