Phyllode tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms divided into three histological grades according to their potential for malignancy. Low grade tumors are usually smaller with a slower evolution. We present here the case of a 40 year old w…
BACKGROUND: Predictive factors of functional outcomes after the surgery of rectal endometriosis are not well identified. Our recent randomized trial did not find significant differences between functional outcomes in patients managed by rad…
This study was undertaken to evaluate the correlation between preoperative Serum markers and pelvic adhesions in endometriosis patients and to explore the markers' clinical value for outcome prediction. Preoperative blood Serum and CA 125 r…
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of GnRHa on adenomyosis by transvaginal elastography. METHODS: A prospective observational study included patients who were diagnosed as adenomyosis by conventional transvaginal ultrasound and infertility.…
OBJECTIVE: Hysterectomy is a commonly performed gynaecological procedure worldwide. Although most hysterectomies are performed for benign indications, the possibility of an unexpected malignancy in the final pathology results should be cons…
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether operation can change the elasticity of levator ani in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with operation and pharmacotherapy using transperineal elastography. METHODS: Total thirty-four patients who were dia…
A 35 year old woman with chronic pelvic endometriosis suffered from right scapular pain. MRI imaging showed a right diaphragmatic rupture with liver herniation. Surgical procedure was performed by thoracotomy. The liver was put back into th…
BACKGROUND: The variability in indications and low rate of pregnancy compared to IVF have led many authors to dismiss IUI and offer IVF first-line instead. OBJECTIVES: To determine what are the predictive factors for clinical pregnancy (CP…

This article reports a case of cervico-isthmic disjunction unnoticed during childhood, diagnosed in a context of primary infertility and endometriosis, and surgically treated. It is an uncommon condition. The diagnosis is most often made as…
We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with a right auto-amputated adnexa and a free-floating mass in the pouch of Douglas using multimodal imaging studies including ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. T…
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to investigate the changes of endometrial progesterone and estrogen receptors in luteal phase biopsy specimens of infertile women and find a correlation, if any, between these and CD8+ receptors in the sam…
INTRODUCTION: The management of posterior deep endometriosis is not consensual. This is due to a great heterogeneity of data from the literature. Many series were small and overall, predictors of pregnancy were not all included and analyzed…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis symptoms may have a negative effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Analyses of open comments are known to be a key source of information and support. The authors aimed to analyse open comments associa…
OBJECTIVES: To assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) by trained or untrained ultrasound operators in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) imaging, for diagnosing DIE and bowel involvement. METHO…
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study is to report on our experience of laparoscopic cervico-isthmic cerclage. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A monocentric retrospective study covering a 13-year period during which 25 cases of laparoscopic cerclag…
OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress has been reported to be associated with various pregnancy complications and to play key roles in many of them. An inadequate level of antioxidant defense may eventually lead to an early pregnancy loss. There is a…
First-line diagnostic investigations for endometriosis are physical examination and pelvic ultrasound. The second-line investigations are: targeted pelvic examination performed by an expert clinician, transvaginal ultrasound performed by an…
