background: In patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), foci of endometriosis are detected in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection and in pelvic sentinel LNs. Lymph vessels (LVs) seem to be the …

BACKGROUND: Recent studies demonstrated the potential involvement of nerve fibres in the chronic inflammatory process of endometriosis. We aimed to characterize nerve fibres in the proximal and distal areas of the peritoneal endometriotic l…

Study question: To compare the pregnancy rate in patients submitted to FET (Frozen Embryos Transfer) of cleavage stage embryos (Group 1), or at the blastocyst stage (Group 2). Summary answer: Our data showed that the transfer of frozen blas…

BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are common components of endometriotic lesions. SMC have been characterized previously in peritoneal, ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriotic lesions and adenomyosis. The aim of this retrospective s…

Einleitung: In aktuellen Studien konnten bei Patientinnen mit tief infiltrierender rektovaginaler Endometriose sowohl in regionalen als auch in pelvinen Sentinel-Lymphknoten Endometrioseläsionen sowie freie Östrogen – und Progesteronrezepto…

BACKGROUND: In patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), foci of endometriosis are detected in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection and in pelvic sentinel LNs. Lymph vessels (LVs) seem to be the …

Einleitung: Aktuell wird Endometriose durch das Vorkommen von Epithel- und Stromazellen außerhalb des Cavum uteri definiert. Doch auch Muskelzellen sind häufige Komponenten in Endometrioseläsionen, sind sie doch in allen Endometriosemanifes…

Introduction: The development of endometriosis (EM) associated pain seems to be strongly influenced by the incidence of nerve fibers (NF) in close contact to the endometriotic lesions. NF as well as neurotrophins (NT) are found closely to p…

Einleitung: Endometrioseläsionen setzen Schmerzmediatoren, wie Prostaglandine, Histamine, Kinine und Interleukine frei, die an der Aktivierung von peritonealen Nozizeptoren beteiligt sein sollen. Der Nachweis von myelinisierten und unmyelin…

Question: The nervous system (NS) has an influence on the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases (AID). The sympathetic NS exerts an anti-inflammatory effect while the sensory NS promotes inflammatory changes, through a st…

Symptomatic renal cysts are not uncommon and can be treated by puncture, sclerotherapy, or laparoscopic fenestration. We report the case of a female patient in whom the diagnosis of a supposedly simple symptomatic renal cyst changed over en…

Fragestellung: Die tief infiltrierende rektovaginale EM zeigt Eigenschaften von malignen Tumoren. In einer Studie konnten EM-Läsionen in mesorektalen Lymphknoten (LK) nach Darmteilresektion bei rektovaginaler EM dargestellt werden. Es ist u…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) shows similarities to malignant diseases. A recent study involving DIE patients found endometriosis in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection. However, it is unclear wh…

Wird bei einer Patientin eine darminfiltrierende Endometriose des Septum rectovaginale bei der rectovaginalen Untersuchung und/oder Bildgebung vermutet, so muss diese Indikation vor einer ausgedehnten operativen Sanierung bestätigt werden, …

Chronic pancreatitis represents an inflammatory disease of the pancreas with progressive fibrotic destruction of the gland. The disease is characterized by abdominal pain, exocrine and endocrine insufficiency. Morphological alterations of t…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the microscopic extent of endometriosis in surgical en-bloc specimens of vaginal skin, rectovaginal septum, cul-de-sac, and part of the rectosigmoid bowel. METHODS: From December, 1997 to October, 2001, 50 …

BACKGROUND: We wanted to establish a technique of laparoscopically assisted radical vaginal surgery for deep endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum with extensive rectal involvement. TECHNIQUE: The procedure is started by vaginally excis…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of Doppler flow sonography for the prediction of malignancy in adnexal masses and to compare the results with two-dimensional ultrasonographic examination and CA 125 levels. METHODS: In a cross-sectional s…

Four cases of colonic endometriosis are reported. Three of them had combined treatment: surgical resection followed by hormonal therapy. The remaining one, just pharmacological treatment. The results were considered satisfactory. The author…
