PURPOSE: Drug resistance and severe pelvic pain often warrant surgical intervention for treating deep endometriosis (DE); however, damage to the autonomic nervous system can occur because of anatomical considerations. We aimed to investigat…
OBJECTIVE: Although dLPE is not overly rare, isolation of the autonomic nerves from dLPE cannot always be guaranteed. In patients with endometriosis lesions that are embedded in the deep parametrium, nerve-sparing techniques are no longer c…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy in patients with ureteral endometriosis (UE). DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent surgery for the ureter endo…
Introduction: The prognosis of ureteral endometriosis is good if proper treatment is applied, but lack of subjective symptoms often lead to poor treatment. The disease comprises as low as 0.1% of all pelvic endometriosis and 10% of urinary …
OBJECTIVE: To describe the anatomic and technical highlights of a novel nerve-sparing surgery in deep endometriosis (DE) using near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence technology and indocyanine green (ICG). DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of this …
Abstract Study Objective: To investigate the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy in patients with ureteral endometriosis (UE). Design: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients who underwent surgery for the ur…
OBJECTIVE: To show technical highlights of a nerve-sparing laparoscopic eradication of deep endometriosis (DE) with posterior compartment peritonectomy. DESIGN: Demonstration of the technique with narrated video footage. SETTING: An urban…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is the most severe form of endometriosis. It causes chronic pelvic pain, severe dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, dyschezia, and dysuria, markedly impairing the quality of life of women of reproductive ag…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of dienogest (DNG) in preventing the occurrence of pain and endometriomas after laparoscopic resection of uterosacral ligaments (USLs) with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: This retrosp…
