OBJECTIVE: To determine whether expression of aromatase P450 mRNA in eutopic endometrium is predictive of the presence of pelvic endometriosis. DESIGN: A prospective, multicenter, observational study. SETTING: Four tertiary centers for re…
Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) allows the inspection of the tubo-ovarian structures in their natural position without supplementary manipulation. Saline is used at 37 degrees C as distension medium, which keeps the organs afloat. Using…
The transvaginal approach to tubo-ovarian surgery allows easy and direct access to the tubo-ovarian structures and the fossa ovarica without additional manipulation. In the absence of a panoramic view, the proximity of the tubo-ovarian stru…
Classically, invasive and non-invasive tests are performed to evaluate the causes of infertility. Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) allows the exploration of the pelvic structures with a mini-endoscope, using a vaginal needle-guided troca…
The classical concept of endometriosis as a cause of infertility is challenged. Traditionally, both surgical and medical therapy of endometriosis-associated infertility has focused on eliminating or reducing the visible implants. The classi…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy is superior to standard laparoscopy for detection of subtle endometriotic adhesions of the ovary. DESIGN: Videotapes of standard laparoscopy and transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy we…
UNLABELLED: STUDY OBJECTIVE. To evaluate the feasibility of a new endoscopic technique, transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy, for early office screening of subfertile women. DESIGN. Retrospective, descriptive feasibility study (Canadian Task Force…
Objectives The purpose of this case report is to describe the feasibility of transvaginal underwater surgery for reconstruction of the ovary with a large endometrioma. Design Descriptive study. Setting Tertiary referral centre for reproduct…
Transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy has been described as an office procedure that is particularly suitable for the diagnosis of endometriosis and adhesions. It is recommended as a first line procedure in patients with infertility. The procedure …
