Gynecologic and obstetric investigation ·doi:10.1159/000323531

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Perinatal environmental exposure may affect fetal development and reprogram the developing organism for adult-onset disease. In this case-control study, we aimed at assessing this pathogenetic model in endometriosis. METHO…

Recurrent endometrioma and ovarian reserve: biological connection or surgical paradox?
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2011.01.053

OBJECTIVE: Cumulative evidence supports the view that ovarian endometriomas originate from ovulatory events and that the ovarian reserve is reduced following surgery. On these bases, we have hypothesized that the risk of recurrence may be r…

Damage to ovarian reserve associated with laparoscopic excision of endometriomas: a quantitative rather than a qualitative injury
American journal of obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.ajog.2005.05.056

OBJECTIVE: Retrospective 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 …
