Laparoscopic treatment for endometriosis-associated infertility is gaining widespread popularity supported mostly by uncontrolled studies, but the purported benefit of surgery may be overvalued. We have therefore analysed the best available…

2008
A 25-year-old woman with unoperated deep endometriosis of the uterosacral ligament suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain, hematuria, hemoperitoneum, and intrauterine death at 31 weeks' gestation. Surgical intervention revealed active h…
review
2007
BACKGROUND: If the menstrual reflux or implantation theory of endometriosis is true, refluxed endometrial cells could reach the right hypochondrium transported by the clockwise peritoneal fluid current and would implant more easily on the r…

ObjectiveTo establish whether causality versus biases may explain the association of endometriosis and ovarian cancer.DesignWe employ the nine criteria proposed by Austin Bradford Hill, which still stand as foundation milestones for causal …

OBJECTIVE: It has been hypothesized that bladder endometriotic nodules are an independent form of endometriosis that should be considered a distinct clinical entity. If this is true, the frequency of nonvesical endometriotic lesions in affe…

2007
Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease that affects 6–10% of women of reproductive age. Epidemiological studies indicate that it is a polygenic disorder, with recurrence risks in first-degree relatives of approximately 2–9%. Thus, the cu…
review
2007
Family and twin studies have shown that heritability accounts for endometriosis development to an extent similar to other complex genetic diseases. Both linkage analysis and association studies have been performed to identify genetic determ…
article
2007
Endometriosis-associated symptomatology can be safely and effectively treated with intrauterine-released progestin, which is associated with fewer adverse effects than other therapeutic options and may be used on a long-term basis. We have …
article
2007
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulus of angiogenesis potentially contributing to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between the single …

BACKGROUND: An immune-mediated defect in recognition and elimination of endometrial fragments refluxed in the peritoneal cavity has been hypothesized to play a crucial role in endometriosis development. Since vitamin D is an effective modul…
review
2006
Epidemiological studies of adenomyosis are difficult to interpret because the diagnostic criteria vary so widely that the disease may be easily over-diagnosed. This would severely hamper any attempt to define incidence and prevalence of the…
review
2006
ObjectiveThis review was aimed to critically evaluate observational, cohort, and case-control studies performed so far in order to assess the association between endometriosis and malignant diseases. Based on the observations herein present…

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine the frequency of postsurgical ovarian failure in patients undergoing laparoscopic excision of bilateral endometriomas. STUDY DESIGN: Patients who had been operated on for bilateral ovarian …

We performed a MEDLINE and EMBASE search to identify all studies published in the English language literature on the use of progestogens for the treatment of endometriosis. The aim of our review was to clarify the biological rationale for t…

ObjectiveRetrospective studies suggest that laparoscopic excision of endometriomas is associated with a reduced responsiveness to ovarian hyperstimulation. In this study, we prospectively evaluated ovarian response to hyperstimulation in wo…
review
2005
Although population-based studies have unequivocally reported an increased risk of ovarian cancer in women with endometriosis, the biological evidence supporting the idea of endometriosis as a preneoplastic condition is scanty and not well …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate damage to ovarian reserve following laparoscopic cystectomy of benign ovarian cysts. DESIGN: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Tertiary gynecologic endoscopic unit at a univ…
review
2005
The laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometriomas appears to increase the chances of spontaneous conception, but the value of this treatment in women selected for IVF-ICSI cycles is debated. Studies recruiting women with unilateral disease…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this article is to evaluate the biological rationale for the use of an intrauterine device releasing 20 mug/day of levonorgestrel in women with endometriosis, and to assess its efficacy in relieving pelvic pain…
