OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of 3-dimensional (3D) modeling of deep endometriosis (DE) from pelvic MRI, to assess its perceived usefulness by gynecologic surgeons, and to explore its transposability in clinical practice. DESIGN: …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of vaginal ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for ovarian endometriomas, with a focus on recurrence and subsequent fertility outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective st…

BACKGROUND: Colorectal endometriosis (CRE) is one of the most severe forms of deep pelvic endometriosis with a high risk of major postoperative complications. While pelvic MRI is the gold standard for preoperative assessment, its interpreta…

BACKGROUND: Several new robotic platforms are being commercialised, with different features in terms of types of consoles, numbers of arms, and targeting transabdominal or natural orifice approaches. The benefits of robotic surgery over lap…

Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder characterized primarily by symptoms of pelvic pain, infertility, and altered quality of life. National and international guidelines highlight the diagnostic difficulties and lack of conclusive…

Recently, a growing body of evidence has highlighted a concerning link between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease. Endometriosis, a chronic, inflammatory, hormone-dependent condition affecting 5-10% of reproductive-aged women worldwid…

OBJECTIVE: We decided to conduct a study based on these multidisciplinary team (MDT) in order to investigate their impact at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg and look for ways to improve this MDT. METHODS: This is a retrospective stu…

Endometriosis is a benign inflammatory onco-mimetic disease affecting 10-15% of women in the world. When it is refractory to medical treatments, surgery may be required. Usually, laparoscopy is the preferred approach, but robotic surgery ha…

BACKGROUND: More than two decades ago, the advent of robotic laparoscopic surgery marked a significant milestone, featuring the introduction of the AESOP robotic endoscope control system and the ZEUS robotic surgery system. The latter, equi…

OBJECTIVE: To present a minimally approach to the management of deep pelvic endometriosis by nerve-sparing surgery and use of neutral argon plasma for extensive endometriotic lesions. DESIGN: This is a clinical case video of a 29 years-old…

BACKGROUND: The discovery of a saliva-based micro–ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for endometriosis in 2022 opened up new perspectives for early and noninvasive diagnosis of the disease. The 109-miRNA saliva signature is the product of m…

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…

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…

Our aim was to assess the opinion of a panel of experts and obtain a consensus on the management of endometrial cancer in France and French Switzerland. A Delphi survey was carried out among a panel of French and French-speaking Swiss exper…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe a 10-step strategy to treat severe endometriosis with a frozen pelvis by laparoscopy. DESIGN: Educational video. SETTING: University Hospital of Strasbourg, France. INTERVENTIONS: The patient was a 33-year-ol…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate how to treat bladder and ureteral deep pelvic endometriosis using a laparoscopic approach with partial cystectomy and resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the ureter. DESIGN: Step-by-step explanation of t…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe a laparoscopic technique for the resection of deep endometriosis, treating the 3 compartments. DESIGN: Educational video. SETTING: Tertiary referral center in Strasbourg, France PATIENT: A 37-year-old primipar…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Lumboaortic lymphadenectomy is frequently performed in the surgical management of different gynecologic pelvic malignancies: cervical endometrial and ovarian cancer. The retroperitoneal access presents a real advantage, all…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare medium-term clinical outcomes and recurrence rates in the laparoscopic surgical management of bowel endometriosis comparing 3 different surgical techniques (shaving, discoid, and segmental resection). DES…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To report the clinical presentation and long-term issues of adolescent endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Single private clinical center, Bordeaux, France. PATIENTS: Adolescents with a confirmed …

OBJECTIVE: To verify the hypothesis that in most patients bowel segmental resection to treat endometriosis can be safely performed without creation of a stoma and to discuss the limitations of this statement. DESIGN: Retrospective study (C…

The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the feasibility of natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) techniques in 41 patients undergoing bowel resection for treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis. In all patients l…
