Endometriosis in Patients with Chronic Pelvic Pain: Is Staging Predictive of the Efficacy of Laparoscopic Surgery in Pain Relief?
Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000092023

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endometriosis is considered an important cause of chronic pelvic pain. Despite its high prevalence, controversy still exists regarding the true association between the extent of endometriosis and the severity of symptoms. W…

Endometriosis in Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain: Is Staging Predictive of the Efficacy of Laparoscopic Surgery in Pain Relief?
·doi:10.1097/01.ogx.0000238633.27319.85

Endometriosis is among the most important causes of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women of reproductive age; it reportedly is present in as many as one third of women having diagnostic laparoscopy for pain. This prospective study examined th…

Insulin‐Like Growth Factor–1 Isoform mRNA Expression in Women with Endometriosis
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1365.042

Pathogenesis of endometriosis involves growth factors, which are synthesized locally. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) prevents apoptosis and has mitogenic action on endometrial cells. The IGF-1 gene undergoes alternative splicing and r…

Laparoscopic Management of Patients with Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1290.030

Endometriosis has been traditionally included among the most important causes of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in women of reproductive age. The main clinical manifestations of endometriosis are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and chronic nonmenstru…

article 2003
Urokinase‐Type Plasminogen Activator and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor‐Binding Protein 3 mRNA Expression in Endometriotic Lesions and Eutopic Endometrium
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences ·doi:10.1196/annals.1290.025

The peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis contains an increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) bioavailability, which is produced by limited hydrolysis of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) on IGF-binding protein 3 (IGF…

Endoscopic treatment of advanced endometriosis with large endometriomata. Surgical technique
·doi:10.1046/j.1365-2508.2001.00467.x

Advanced endometriosis is a common cause of infertility. It has traditionally been treated surgically by laparotomy. The surgeon had to cope mainly with adhesions, endometriotic implants and, quite often, endometriotic cysts of various diam…
