OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare clinical and ultrasound outcomes over 24 months in premenopausal women with ultrasound-diagnosed endometriosis/adenomyosis, never treated surgically, and managed with or without hormonal therapy. We s…

OBJECTIVES: To describe the longitudinal ultrasound features and clinical course of ovarian endometriomas in postmenopausal women, aiming to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide follow-up strategies. METHODS: This retrospective observatio…

OBJECTIVE: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by a lack of implantation after several embryo-transfers. The aim of this study was to evaluate missing pelvic pathologies in patients with RIF, followin…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to characterize inflammatory cytokine profiles in women diagnosed with episodic migraine, endometriosis, or both conditions and to determine how these cytokine patterns relate to symptom severity and fu…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of ovarian endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis in adolescents (12-20 years) with severe dysmenorrhea based on specific ultrasound findings. METHODS: This retrospective…

Adenomyosis is an important clinical condition with uncertain prevalence, and clinical focus on adenomyosis in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) has increased during recent years. Recognizing the limited clinical kn…

PurposeReview and compare current classifications for diagnosing T-shaped uterus using three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (3D-TVS) measurements, identifying measurements that best correlate with the diagnosis.MethodsThis retrospectiv…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the progression of endometriosis and painful symptoms in young women (≤ 25 years) with severe dysmenorrhea (Visual Analogue Scale score ≥ 7), with or without ultrasound-detected endometriosis, over a follow-up period…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and migraine frequently coexist, but only a limited number of studies have focused on their mutual association. The aim of our study was to investigate, in untreated women with comorbid endometriosis/adenomyosis an…

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively examine the association between adenomyosis type, location, and severity with reproductive outcomes in patients undergoing single embryo transfer (SET) with embryos derived from donor oocytes. DESIGN: A prospect…

Background: Endometriosis and migraine frequently coexist, but only a limited number of studies have focused on their mutual association. The aim of our study was to investigate, in untreated women with comorbid endometriosis/ adenomyosis a…

BACKGROUND: The #Enzian classification represents a system to describe endometriotic lesions during surgery. Its use is well established in correlating ultrasound and surgical findings. OBJECTIVES: To describe interobserver reproducibility…

BACKGROUND: Management of endometriosis should be based on the best available evidence. The pyramid of evidence reflects unbiased observations analysed with traditional statistics. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is the clinical interpretatio…

INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and endometriosis are chronic inflammatory diseases occurring in young women, sharing some clinical manifestations. In a multidisciplinary approach, we aimed to investigate symptoms, type, and …

The evaluation of endometriosis in an adolescent girl is a challenging topic. The initial stage of the disease and the limited diagnostic instrument appropriate for the youth age and for its typical features can reduce the ability of the gy…

BackgroundHigh discrepancy between current classifications was observed in the definition of uterine septa, especially for indentation lengths >5 <10mm.ObjectivesTo assess the discrepancy between current classifications in the diagnoses of …

OBJECTIVES: To diagnose endometriosis in young patients ≤25y with severe dysmenorrhea through specific ultrasonographic examination findings and to correlate the symptoms to its different forms: ovarian, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and…

Insertion of a LNG-Intra-uterine System (LNG-IUS) has many gynecological indications. The approved indications worldwide are contraception, treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding depending on not organic disease, and endometrial protection …

Advances in preoperative diagnostics as well as in surgical techniques for the treatment of endometriosis, especially for deep endometriosis, call for a classification system, that includes all aspects of the disease such as peritoneal endo…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings in patients who underwent segmental rectosigmoid resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and to correlate postsurgical ultrasound findings with symptoms. METHODS: …

ObjectiveTo evaluate the ultrasonographic presence of different forms of endometriosis and the associated clinical symptoms in adolescent women.DesignRetrospective observational study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Two hundred and sev…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium within the myometrium. This features lead to structural changes in the surrounding myometrium and endometrium resulting also in functional changes. Alterations in the myome…

The incidence of endometriosis in middle-aged women is not minimal compared to that in the reproductive age group. The treatment of affected women after childbearing age to the natural transition toward menopause has received considerably p…
