BACKGROUND: Sexual health is a major concern in women with endometriosis, however only a few controlled studies have examined this with validated instruments. The effect of hormonal treatments on sexual function in endometriosis is also an …
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate nerve-sparing laparoscopic eradication of deep endometriosis with rectal and parametrial resection based on the Negrar method [1] using the "touchless" technique. DESIGN: Stepwise video case demonstration with nar…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for endometriosis/adenomyosis in terms of operative outcomes and complications. DESIGN: Retrospective multicentric cohort study. SETTING: Eight …
INTRODUCTION: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign gynecological tumors affecting women of reproductive ages. Although surgery is the definitive treatment choice, several medical approaches have been investigated to control their sym…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in predicting deep endometriosis (DE) following the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus methodology. METHODS: This was an international …
BackgroundAdenomyosis may induce pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding or bulk symptoms. If hormonal treatment proves ineffective or contraindicated, hysterectomy may be necessary. For patients who desire to conserve the uterus despite sev…
BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage (AL) and major complications after colorectal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) have a remarkable impact on patient outcomes. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive value of C-rea…
Abstract Study question To compare the live birth rate in infertile patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis treated by surgery or IVF/ICSI. Summary answer In infertile women with rectosigmoid endometriosis, IVF/ICSI is associated with a hi…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) pathway involved in the process of fibrosis in adenomyosis? DESIGN: RNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded slices collected from the ectopic endometrium of patients with nodular adenomy…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic segmental bowel resection, disc excision and rectal shaving are described as surgical options for the treatment of bowel endometriosis, but the gold standard has not yet established. The aim of the study is to inves…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate ultrasonographic findings as a first-line imaging tool to indirectly predict the presence of parametrial endometriosis (PE) in women with suspected deep endometriosis (DE) undergoing surgery. DESIGN: Retrospect…
The classical surgical anatomy of the female pelvis is limited by its gynecological oncological focus on the parametrium and burdened by its modeling based on personal techniques of different surgeons. However, surgical treatment of pelvic …
An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a group (n = 371) of fertile age women with endometriosis, by administering a structured questionnaire, in order to evaluate the incidence of gynecological and systemic comorbidities a…
Background The recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after its surgical excision is a big problem: postoperative treatment is crucial.Objective To compare two postoperative treatments: Dienogest and GnRH agonists.Design Prospe…
BackgroundDiaphragmatic endometriosis (DE) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition. Most of the times it is asymptomatic and due to the low accuracy of diagnostic tests, it is almost always detected during surgery for pelvic endometriosi…
Abstract Study question Is conservative laparoscopic treatment with RFA (radiofrequency thermal ablation) related to a good outcome on a long-term follow-up? Summary answer RFA for diffuse adenomyosis was related to a good outcome on a long…
IntroductionTransvaginal ultrasound is fundamental for the mapping of endometriosis, and the imaging criteria have been clearly described for different organs study. However, no specific ultrasonographic signs of tubal endometriosis have be…
Over the last twenty years, segmental resection (SR) has been the technique most frequently used to treat bowel endometriosis. Nowadays, it is most commonly performed by laparoscopy; however, there is evidence that it can be safely performe…
