OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis affects 10% of women in reproductive age and alters fertility. Its management is still debated notably the timing of surgery and ART in infertility. Several tools have been created to guide the practitioner and the …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of rectovaginal fistula after en bloc hysterectomy and colorectal resection (H-CR) for endometriosis using prevesical peritoneum interposition. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study conducted at Tenon Universi…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare 1.5-Tesla (1.5 T) to 3-Tesla (3 T) Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in assessing multifocal (multiple lesions affecting the same segment) and multicentric (multiple lesions affecting several digestive segmen…
OBJECTIVES: The Collège national des gynécologues obstétriciens français (CNGOF), in agreement with the Société de chirurgie gynécologique et pelvienne (SCGP), has set up a commission in 2017 to define endometriosis expert centres, with the…
Diagnostic performance of MR imaging for the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis are good. Even if some differences of performances exists according the location considered, the risk of misdiagnosis is lower than 10% for trained teams (NP2). …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the impact of first-line assisted reproductive technology (ART; intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI]-IVF) and first-line colorectal surgery followed by ART on fertility outcomes in women with colorectal endometriosi…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Our primary endpoint was to compare the intra- and postoperative complications, whereas secondary endpoints were the occurrence of voiding dysfunction and evaluation of the quality or life of segmental and discoid resection…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most severe form of the disease, defined by infiltration beneath the peritoneum greater than 5mm. It affects several anatomical locations including the bladder, the vesico-uterine cul-de-sac, the torus…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate fertility outcomes after laparoscopic partial bladder resection in women with bladder endometriosis and to review the literature. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study conducted at two tertiary referral centres -Tenon …
The diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis is based on the combination of clinical examination, endovaginal ultrasonography and pelvic MRI. Ultrasonography displays a moderate sensitivity and a high specificity. Pelvien MRI displays a better sen…
UNLABELLED: National and international guidelines recommend referring patients with severe forms of endometriosis to expert centers. However, there is a lack of clear criteria to define an expert center. We examined the roles of surgeon and…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To prospectively determine the accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) compared with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for multifocal (i.e., multiple lesions affecting the same digestive segment) and m…
BACKGROUND: There is no consensual definition of diminished ovarian reserve and the best therapeutic strategy has not yet been demonstrated. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study to evaluate outcomes following a first in-vitro fertil…
BACKGROUND OR OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is common in women referred for infertility. In vitro fertilization provides good results but the choice of the best-controlled ovarian hyperstimulation protocol remains a subject of debate. The object…
Endometriosis is a condition where hormonal-responsive endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus usually within the pelvic cavity. Extra-abdominal endometriosis is less common and may involves the skin. Subcutaneous endometriosis is rare.…
Endometriosis is a benign pathology that affects 3% of the general population and about 10% of women of reproductive age. Three anatomoclinical entities are described: peritoneal, ovarian (endometrioma) and deep endometriosis characterized …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affects several anatomical locations including the bladder, torus uterinum, uterosacral ligament, rectovaginal septum and bowel. It is the most debilitating form of endometriosis and causes severe pain,…
OBJECTIVE: Around 5% of women experience persistent voiding dysfunction after surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with colorectal involvement. The gold standard to manage persistent voiding dysfunction is intermittent self-cat…
PURPOSE: To assess the impact of peritoneal endometriosis on oocyte and embryo quality in a mouse model. METHODS: Peritoneal endometriosis was surgically induced in 33 B6CBA/F1 female mice (endometriosis group, N = 17) and sham-operated we…
OBJECTIVE: Pregnancy is known to alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis and is also known to be a pro-angiogenic condition affecting blood and lymphatic vessels. However, angiogenesis actively participates in the development of endometrios…
BACKGROUND: The clear cell borderline ovarian tumor (CCBOT) of the ovary is a rare tumor accounting for less than 1% of BOT. Fewer than 25 cases have been reported in the literature (including details on clinical management and outcomes). T…
Pelvic endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. There are three types: endometrial cysts, superficial peritoneal lesions and lesions of deep endometriotic location1. It can be associated wit…
A role for the EGF system, in particular HER1 and 2, in growth of the endometrium has been suggested but HER1 and 2 have not been studied in all locations of endometriosis and in ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma (OEC) which is a rare for…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis can improve quality of life (QOL), but the results vary widely from one woman to another. The aim of this study was to determine whether the preoperative results on the Physica…
