Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder that is generally localized in the pelvis affecting up to 10 % of women in the reproductive age. Extra-pelvic locations are estimated to 9 % of endometriosis women. However, the spread …

OBJECTIVE: Surgery is a therapeutic option for patients with deep endometriosis presenting with infertility and/or pain refractory to medical treatment. Major postoperative complications may impair quality of life and delay the initiation o…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety, feasibility and imaging outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation as a minimally invasive treatment for umbilical endometriosis (UE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2017 and December 2024,…

The Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) is a preoperative MRI-based score initially validated to predict surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Its applicability in robotic-as…

Abstract: Chronic endometritis, defined by chronic inflammation of the endometrium, remains a clinical and biologic challenge even using hysteroscopy allowing a direct vision of the uterine cavity without anesthesia, and conventional histol…

Couple infertility poses a health challenge, prompting research into its multifaceted aetiology. Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) expression has emerged as a candidate for elucidating couple infertility. This review explores the roles of small and lo…

OBJECTIVES: To report the incidence of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) among patients with deep endometriosis, and to analyze surgical procedures, the rate of complications, and the recurrence rate in patients with UTE managed in a French…

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenge. The recent development of a saliva-based micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for the diagnosis of endometriosis may enable a timelier and less invasive approach, but this requires …

Abstract Background The Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) is a preoperative MRI-based score initially validated to predict surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Its applic…

To define the risk factors of post-operative voiding dysfunction according to the type of surgical procedure performed. A systematic review through PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases was performed. The Medical Subjec…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to study the impact of discoid excision for deep endometriosis (DE) with colorectal involvement on fertility outcomes. METHODS: 49 patients with a desire for pregnancy treated with discoid excision…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have highlighted patients with chronic conditions seek for medical knowledge and therapeutics on their own. So far, no data exist on the health literacy of patients with gynecological conditions and especially t…

Surgery for deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement is an option after medical treatment failure. Over the past decade, robotic laparoscopy has emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. We aimed to evaluate surgical outc…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Do women with endometriosis undergoing oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation experience the same level of pain as women undergoing oocyte retrieval for IVF? DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study included 796 cycl…

In light of the rising number of patients referred for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to suspected endometriosis and the high expectations of these patients, there is a need for new imaging guidelines to optimally protocol and indicat…

OBJECTIVE: Patients with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) present with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis but clinical and imaging exams are inconclusive. Consequently, laparoscopy is usually necessary to confirm diagnosis. The …

OBJECTIVE: Despite various surgical and nonsurgical strategies for abdominal wall endometriosis, the lack of definitive guidance on optimal treatment choice leads to clinical uncertainty. This review scrutinizes the safety and efficacy of a…

AIM: To assess the benefit of prophylactic abdominal drainage (AD) after colorectal surgery for endometriosis. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 215 patients who underwent colorectal surgery for endometriosis using a mini-inva…

The aim of this study was to analyze postoperative consumption of analgesics during hospitalization following colorectal surgery for endometriosis. We conducted a retrospective study at Tenon University Hospital, Paris, France from February…

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to analyze postoperative consumption of analgesics during hospitalization following colorectal surgery for endometriosis. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at Tenon University Hospital…

OBJECTIVES: We studied a post operative classification of surgical complexity in endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective monocentric observational study was conducted between January 2001 to December 2019 and included 764 women with DE …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can a saliva-based miRNA signature for endometriosis-associated infertility be designed and validated by analysing the human miRNome? DESIGN: The prospective ENDOmiARN study (NCT04728152) included 200 saliva samples obta…

IMPORTANCE: Preoperative mapping of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) is crucial as surgery can be complex and the quality of preoperative information is key. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) magnetic resonan…

OBJECTIVES: In contrast to miRNA expression, little attention has been given to piwiRNA (piRNA) expression among endometriosis patients. The aim of the present study was to explore the human piRNAome and to investigate a potential piRNA sal…

PURPOSE: To retrospectively evaluate the relief of pain after percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic extraperitoneal endometriosis (EE). MATERIAL AND METHODS: From 2017 to 2022, cryoablation of EE was performed at a single i…
