Intestinal endometriosis (IE), a chronic condition affecting a notable percentage of women with endometriosis (estimates varying from roughly 4% to 37%) and can impact any part of the intestine, but it most frequently involves the rectum an…

Endometriosis is a complex gynaecological disorder characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation, pain, and infertility. Recent research suggests that gut microbiota may play a …

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. It substantially impacts quality of life (QoL) through pelvic pain, infertility, and psychological distress. I…

Endometriosis is characterized by alterations of the action and control mechanisms that lead to the development of ectopic endometrial tissue. This study aimed to analyze the molecular profile of ectopic endometrium by evaluating the expres…

UNLABELLED: Endometriosis (E) and adenomyosis (A) are associated with a wide spectrum of symptoms and may present various histopathological transformations, such as the presence of hyperplasia, atypia, and malignant transformation occurring…

Endometriosis is a benign chronic disease with a major impact on a woman's quality of life, mainly due to painful physical symptoms. Endometriosis is also a common cause of infertility caused by low ovarian reserve, distorted pelvic anatomy…

Clear cell carcinoma of the ovary is a rare and aggressive subtype of ovarian cancer. It is often associated with en­do­me­trio­sis, a chronic condition characterized by the pre­sence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Clear cel…

BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to examine the osteopontin (OPN) serum levels and tissue expression of CD44 and OPN in endometriosis-affected women both undergoing and not undergoing progestin treatment, and also to determine their involvement …

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects around 10% of women who are of reproductive age. It may lead to significant morbidity, and it is a serious public health concern. Ovarian lesions, such as endometriomas or traditional ovarian …

(1) Background: To investigate the effect of phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) and vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the risk assessment of endometriosis, in two cohorts of women with this pathology, those receiving hormonal treatment, and those without t…

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility among reproductive-age women. A low ovarian reserve is associated with the presence of endometriotic cysts, and this is accentuated even more after surgery. Patients with a history of endometri…

Hysterectomy in cases with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) poses a particular challenge represented by the lack of standardization, causing technical difficulties or incomplete resection of the deep endometriosis lesions. AIM: This ar…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic multifactorial disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The clear etiopathogenesis of EM is unclear. Increasing evidence was gathered about the crucial invol…

Endometriosis, an intriguing gynecological illness, poses a substantial health concern for women of reproductive age, despite its widespread occurrence and limited comprehension. The objective of this study is to assess the diagnostic preci…

(1) Background: The effects of serum vitamin D levels, the vitamin D receptor (VDR), and phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) in endometriosis were investigated in two cohorts of women with this pathology: those receiving hormonal treatment and those w…

(1) Background: Endometriosis is a widespread gynecological condition that causes chronic pelvic discomfort, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and impaired quality of life in women of reproductive age. Clinical examination, transvaginal ultrasonog…

Endometriosis is a gynecological pathology with chronic symptoms, which negatively affects the patient’s quality of life. The prevalence of endometriosis in asymptomatic women is between 2% and 50%, depending on the populations studied and …

Objective. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effective­ness of laparoscopic colorectal resection in cases of deep en­do­metriosis, as well as the impact on the quality of life, on gynecological and digestive symptoms. Materials and m…

We have conducted this observational retrospective study with the aim to see how different causes of infertility and associated pathologies influence the pregnancy rate in poor responder patients, according to Poseidon criteria. We included…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is defined as the in­fil­tra­tion of endometriotic implants deeper than 5 mm from the peritoneal surface. When the lesions infiltrate the mus­cu­laris propria layer of the rectum or sigmoid, we talk abo…
