Predictive factors for conversion to laparotomy in women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. A re-evaluation of clinicopathological factors in the era of minimally invasive gynaecology
Facts, views & vision in ObGyn ·doi:10.52054/FVVO.16.2.020

BACKGROUND: Abdominal hysterectomy has been largely replaced by minimally invasive surgery. Nevertheless, in some situations, a minimally invasive intervention must be converted to laparotomy. Factors associated with conversion to laparotom…

Microbiome & Endometriosis
·doi:10.46501/ijmtst0705003

Endometriosis is a chronic disease of the female reproductive system, which is characterised by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus especially in the pelvic cavity that includes ovaries, fallopian tubes and it may occur ex…

The cost-effective, but forgotten, medical endometriosis therapy: a prospective, quasi-randomized study on progestin therapy.
Facts, views & vision in ObGyn

Endometriosis represents nowadays a real burden for the patients as well as for the physicians, as it requires surgical and/or medical treatment, often long - termed and repeated. Moreover, the high costs necessary to diagnose and treat end…

Langzeit-Ergebnisse nach radikalen Endometriose-Resektionen per Laparoskopie und per Laparotomie
·doi:10.1055/s-0031-1280505

Fragestellung: Tiefe infiltrierende Endometriose erfordert ein der individuellen Situation angepasstes radikales Vorgehen. Während des letzten Jahrzehnts hat sich hier ein operativer Wandel weg von der Laparatomie hin zum Laparoskopischen Z…

Normal human peritoneal macrophages are unable to cap and internalize class II antigens
Cellular immunology ·doi:10.1016/0008-8749(88)90165-7

Normal human peritoneal macrophages show a restricted capacity to differentiate into inflammatory macrophages in vivo. We now report that these cells are unable to cap and internalize HLA-DR, as compared to endometriosis, and other macropha…

article 1987
Altered maturation and function of peritoneal macrophages: Possible role in pathogenesis of endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(87)90333-4

Human peritoneal macrophages from healthy women and patients with endometriosis were analyzed with flow cytometry for size distribution, cell membrane antigen expression, and membrane function. Endometriosis was associated with a significan…

article 1984
Accentuated cyclic activation of peritoneal macrophages in patients with endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(84)80037-x

Peritoneal fluid was collected from 107 women undergoing laparoscopic sterilization or diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of infertility. Cells consisting mainly of macrophages were separated and subjected to sophisticated flow fluorocyt…

article 1983
Increased activation of pelvic macrophages in infertile women with mild endometriosis
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/0002-9378(83)90720-2

Pelvic fluid was collected from 66 women undergoing laparoscopic sterilization or diagnostic laparoscopy for evaluation of infertility. Cells consisting mainly of macrophages were separated, counted, and subjected to histochemical staining …

Pelvic macrophages in normal and infertile women: The role of patent tubes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1016/s0002-9378(16)32537-6

The volume of peritoneal fluid and its macrophage content were examined in 80 women undergoing laparoscopy. The amount of pelvic fluid was not dependent on the patency of the fallopian tubes, and no statistical difference in the fluid volum…
