OBJECTIVE: To compare assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) outcomes between fresh vs. freeze-all strategies in infertile women affected by adenomyosis. DESIGN: A single-center observational study. SETTINGS: University hospital-based …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ovarian endometrioma (OMA) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in adolescents presenting with severe dysmenorrhea. DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Clin…
BACKGROUND: The time between symptoms onset and endometriosis diagnosis is usually long. The negative impacts of delayed endometriosis diagnosis can affect patients and health outcomes. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study using clin…
IMPORTANCE: Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease with a heterogeneous presentation that affects women of childbearing age. Given the limitations of previous retrospective studies, it is still unclear whether endometriosis has adverse im…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Does endometrioma size affect the number of oocytes retrieved after ovarian stimulation in women with endometriosis-related infertility undergoing IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)? DESIGN: Cohort study of infe…
Adenomyosis is a common gynecologic disease characterized by invasion of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Clinically, it can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility. Adenomyosis has historically…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the adenomyosis phenotype affects the proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR)-based serum metabolic profile of patients. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: University hospital-based research center. PATIENT…
RESEARCH QUESTION: In women with radiologically diagnosed adenomyosis, is the presence of endometriosis associated with a higher rate of miscarriage? DESIGN: An observational cohort study of women who received medical care for benign gynae…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What prognostic factors relate to a high oocyte yield in fertility preservation for women affected by endometriosis? DESIGN: Observational cohort study conducted in a tertiary care university hospital between April 2015 …
OBJECTIVE: To draw up recommendations on the use of prophylactic gynecologic procedures during surgery for other indications. DESIGN: A consensus panel of 19 experts was convened. A formal conflict of interest policy was established at the…
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are two frequent diseases that impair women's quality of life by causing pain and infertility. Both endometriosis and adenomyosis are heterogeneous diseases that manifest as different forms. Adenomyosis may be …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the assisted reproductive technology (ART) cumulative live-birth rate (LBR) in a cohort of bowel endometriosis patients with no prior history of surgery for endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: …
OBJECTIVE: To provide guidelines from the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF), based on the best currently available evidence, for the prophylactic procedures associated with gynecological surgery for benign disease su…
For patients with endometriosis-related infertility, the impact of previous surgery for endometriosis before assisted reproductive technology (ART) remains controversial, particularly in cases of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DE). To stu…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder where endometrial glands and stroma are pathologically demonstrated within the uterine myometrium. The pathogenesis involves sex steroid hormone abnormalities, inflammation, fibrosis and …
RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the correlation between serum metabolic profile and endometriosis phenotype? DESIGN: A pilot study nestled in a prospective cohort study at a university hospital, including 46 patients with painful endometriosis …
OBJECTIVE: To study the association between adenomyosis and infertility, according to the adenomyosis phenotype as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DESIGN: A single-center, cross-sectional study. SETTING: University hospital…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the presence of focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) at preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is associated with the severity of deep infiltrating endometriosis. DESIGN: Observational cross-sec…
Endometriosis is a chronic hormono-dependent inflammatory gynecological disease. Endometriosis can be subdivided into three forms: superficial peritoneal implants, endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Inflammation is a t…
Endometriosis is a frequent, chronic, inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue causing pain and infertility. Macrophages have a central role in lesion establishment and maintenance by dr…
RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the perinatal outcomes and especially the risk of small for gestational age (SGA) babies born after frozen versus fresh embryo transfer in mothers affected by endometriosis undergoing treatment with assisted repr…
The aim of this study was to characterize a large sample of women with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP) and no other types of endometriosis in order to test the association of SUP with gynecologic symptoms. We included 203 cases o…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a follicular fluid-specific metabolic profile in deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) depending on the presence of an associated ovarian endometrioma (OMA) that could lead to the identification of biomarkers for…
