OBJECTIVE: To compare assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) outcomes between fresh vs. freeze-all strategies in infertile women affected by adenomyosis. DESIGN: A single-center observational study. SETTINGS: University hospital-based …

Research questionIn women with radiologically diagnosed adenomyosis, is the presence of endometriosis associated with a higher rate of miscarriage?DesignAn observational cohort study of women who received medical care for benign gynaecologi…

STUDY QUESTION: Do adenomyosis phenotypes such as external or internal adenomyosis, as diagnosed by MRI, have the same clinical characteristics? SUMMARY ANSWER: External adenomyosis was found more often in young and nulliparous women and wa…

We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools, including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools such as…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) at preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is associated with the severity of deep infiltrating endometriosis. DESIGN: Observational cross-sec…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions before and after pregnancy. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: A single French university tertiary referral hospital. PA…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between bladder deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and anterior focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (aFAOM) diagnosed by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN: An observ…

BackgroundAdenomyosis (ADE) is an enigmatic uterine disorder. Several types have been previously described: diffuse adenomyosis (DIF-ADE), focal adenomyosis (FOC-ADE), and association of focal and diffuse lesions (FOC/DIF-ADE). Abnormal imm…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the relationship between endometriosis phenotypes superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and the adenomyosis appearance by magnetic resonance ima…

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scanning complement each other in screening for and diagnosis of endometriosis. Fusion imaging, also known as real-time virtual sonography, is a new technique that uses magnetic nav…

STUDY QUESTION: Are protein oxidative stress markers [thiols, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), protein carbonyls and nitrates/nitrites] in perioperative peritoneal fluid higher in women with histologically proven endometriosis wh…

ObjectivesThe goals of the study were to describe the MR imaging features of endometriosis of the urinary tract and identify those that suggest intrinsic involvement of ureteric wall.Materials and methodsThirty-five women with proven urinar…

BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) are the most common gynaecological benign tumors in premenopausal women. Evidences support the role of oxidative stress in the development of uterine leiomyoma. We have analysed oxidative stress mar…

STUDY QUESTION: Are interleukin-33 (IL-33) serum levels higher in women with uterine leiomyoma compared with controls without leiomyoma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Serum IL-33 is elevated in women with uterine leiomyoma and correlated with features o…

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a prospective study to assess the long-term results of complete surgery for low rectal endometriosis (LRE), paying particular attention to surgical complications, functional results, and disease recurrence after a fo…
