Adenomyosis, a benign gynecological condition characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, poses significant challenges to women's reproductive health. Recently, the landscape of adenomyosis diagnosis tr…

OBJECTIVE: To provide a brief summary of the high incidence, symptomatology, different types, and diagnosis of adenomyosis and to explore various aspects of the disease, with the primary aim of raising awareness among gynecologists for appr…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of appendiceal endometriosis (AppE) in patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE), compare it with the prevalence in patients without DiaE, and delineate the anatomical…

Background/Objectives: Postsurgical lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a common problem following deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) resection. The condition may be caused either by surgically induced damage to the bladder innerva…

We present a new systematic, comprehensive, checklist-based sonographic assessment of endometriosis in the female true pelvis. Emphasis is placed on practical skills teaching. The newly introduced White Sliding Line (WSL) is the core struct…

Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecologic condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma in the myometrium causing pain (dysmenorrhea) and abnormal uterine bleeding. New interventional techniques have been introduced over…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify characteristics indicating preoperatively the presence of diaphragmatic endometriosis (DE). DESIGN: Comparison of characteristics of patients with diaphragmatic endometriosis (DE) with characteristics of patien…

Higher cesarean section rates and better ultrasound diagnostics have led to a more frequent diagnosis of isthmocele, a cesarean scar defect. Sometimes, endometriosis is found in the isthmocele, but simultaneous extrauterine endometriosis an…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognosis of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) and identify risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) recurrence. METHODS: We conducted a retrosp…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Early diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis affecting adolescent women are important in preventing chronic pain. Our aim was to analyze the clinical characteristics and severity of symptoms in adolescent patients with en…

Sentinel lymph nodes are widely accepted in the treatment of endometrial carcinoma. Whereas surgical aspects are well studied, the pathological work-up in terms of grossing, frozen section, and the so-called ultra-staging is still a matter …

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological cancer. Numerous subtypes exist, each with distinct risk factors and prognosis. What underlies these subtypes and their progression is not clear, although inflammation through NFκB may play a …

OBJECTIVES: Elevated concentrations of numerous molecules have been reported in the peritoneal cavity of women with endometriosis. Until now, no factor proved sufficiently specific to endometriosis. We aimed to investigate several biomarker…

We thank colleagues Turco et al for their interest in our recently published article about the use of indocyanine green (ICG) during the surgical management of endometriosis,1 and take the opportunity to respond to their comments.2 The disc…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of a new imaging sign, the "cloverleaf sign," in diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in concordance to intraoperative find…

BACKGROUND: Curative management of deep infiltrating endometriosis requires complete removal of all endometriotic implants. Surgical approach to rectal involvement has become a topic of debate given potential postoperative bowel dysfunction…
