Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Increasing epidemiological and molecular evidence indicates that it may represent a precursor condition for a subset of ovarian…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate existing questionnaires on predictive models for endometriosis. These symptom-based models have the potential to serve as screening tools for adult women to detect endometriosis. D…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Dual Wavelength Laser System (DWLS) diode laser on the treatment of ovarian endometrioma (OMA), with ablation and vaporization of the cystic capsule without performing the stripping tech…

Background and Objectives: Adenomyosis (the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma below the endometrial–myometrial junction) is a benign condition which is increasingly diagnosed in younger women suffering from infertility. The …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a gynecologic disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women, around 21-47% of women presenting subfertility and 71-87% of women with chronic pelvic pain. Main symptoms are chronic pelvic pain, …

Background \nThe aim of the study was to evaluate the impact on ovarian reserve by dosing the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) using the stripping technique followed by the hemostasis with dual wavelengths laser system (DWLS) \nMethods \nWe enr…

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether laparoscopic treatment with a diode laser is feasible, safe, and effective in symptomatic patients affected by deep endometriosis (DE). METHODS: This retrospective study was performed using medical record data. …

INTRODUCTION: There is an urgent necessity to explore the complex pathophysiological nature of endometriosis, which may enable the rationale for new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to be discovered. This systematic review aimed to cla…

Background To assess postoperative recurrence rates and likelihood of natural conception in women with deep endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic treatment with diode laser. Methods This is a retrospective study with prospective recordin…

Among them, DIE is considered the most aggressive, and the patient is often affected by more than one type together. The therapeutic methodology should not be influenced by a combination of different types of endometriotic lesion. According…

Adenomyosis is defined as the heterotopic presence of endometrial mucosa (glands and stroma) abnormally implanted within myometrium with a range of clinical presentations, the most common being heavy menstrual bleeding and dysmenorrhoea; ne…

Background \nSurgical management of ovarian endometriosis is still debated and controversial. The removal of the cystic capsule with the stripping technique (cystectomy) seems to be most recommended for the lowest recurrence rate, but has \…

Background \nDeep infiltrating endometriosis is defined by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) \nas a peritoneal infiltration of more than 5 mm deep by the endometrial tissue. DIE frequently presents with nodul…

Operative laparoscopy is the gold standard in the treatment of endometriotic ovarian cysts. Excisional surgery is the best technique to prevent recurrences and improve symptoms but it may result in ovarian reserve damage due to the removal …
