OBJECTIVES: To assess interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and its inhibitory soluble interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1sRII) levels into the serum of patients with various forms of endometriosis and normal women, and investigate the correlation with d…

The surgical management of presumed benign ovarian tumors (PBOT) must ensure complete removal of the cyst, reduce the risk of recurrence (especially in case of endometrioma), prevent any risk of tumor dissemination, and must preserve health…

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the significance of severe preoperative pain for patients presenting with ovarian endometrioma (OMA). METHODS: Three hundred consecutive patients with histologically proven OMA were e…

Recurrence of deep endometriosis remains a major issue in the management of endometriosis. The main cause for recurrence appears to be an incomplete excisional surgery. Therefore, the goal of the primary surgery should be the complete resec…

Endometriosis is a common disease in gynecology. Many theories were proposed to explain the endometriosis pathogenesis. The distribution of the endometriosis lesions seems to be interesting in order to understand the endometriosis pathogene…

Recent renewed interest in uterine contractility stems from the possibility of directly visualizing uterine contractility on images generated by high-resolution ultrasound probes. During the menstrual cycle, three typical patterns of uterin…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the changes in uterine contractility induced by increasing doses of P administered to estrogenized women and to compare two methodologies for assessing uterine contraction frequency from ultrasound scans. DESIGN: Prosp…

The non-pregnant uterus shows different patterns of contractility during the menstrual cycle. A renewed interest in uterine contractility has resulted from reports of non-invasive ultrasound (US) based studies. To clarify the changes in ute…

Previously, we reported that short term administration of a highly potent GnRH agonist (GnRHa) for 1 month to patients with polycystic ovarian disease (PCO) resulted in complete suppression of ovarian steroidogenesis without measurable effe…
