BACKGROUND: Folliculogenesis occurs in the highly dynamic environment of the ovary. Follicle cyclic recruitment, neo-angiogenesis, spatial displacement, follicle atresia and ovulation stand out as major events resulting from the interplay b…

Endometriosis and autoimmune diseases share a hyper-inflammatory state that might negatively impact the embryo–endometrium crosstalk. Inflammatory and immune deregulatory mechanisms have been shown to impair both endometrial receptivity and…

Endometrial mesenchymal stromal cells (E-MSCs) extensively contribute to the establishment and progression of endometrial ectopic lesions through formation of the stromal vascular tissue, and support to its growth and vascularization. As E-…

Some studies have shown that ICSI obtains poorer results than conventional IVF in women with ovarian endometriosis, suggesting that oocytes could be sensitive to ICSI-induced mechanical damage. The aims of this study were to clarify (a) whe…

We performed this retrospective case-control study analyzing 428 first-attempt in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, among which 254 involved women with a previous or present diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis. First, the results of these 25…

In order to estimate the impact of laparoscopic stripping of endometriomas on the ovarian follicular reserve, 43 normo-ovulatory women were studied by endocrine (anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), FSH, LH, inhibin B, oestradiol) and ultrasonogra…

OBJECTIVE: To obtain histologic confirmation of lesions suspected of endometriosis at laparoscopy. DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. SETTING: Patients in an academic hospital. PATIENT(S): Women of reproductive age who complained of chr…
