Delayed blastocyst development is influenced by the level of progesterone on the day of trigger.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-022-02682-y

PurposeTo evaluate the association between progesterone (P) level on the day of trigger and time to blastulation in IVF cycles.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study with autologous IVF cycles performed at our Institution from January…

Minimally invasive surgery for ovarian endometriosis as a mean of improving fertility: Cystectomy vs. CO2 fiber laser ablation what do we know so far?
Frontiers in surgery ·doi:10.3389/fsurg.2023.1147877

Minimally invasive surgery emerged in the 1980s as a safe and effective technique which requires smaller incisions and, usually, a shorter hospital stay compared to traditional surgery. Since then, minimally invasive surgery has expanded in…

CO2 fiber laser vaporization for endometrioma treatment results in preserved ovarian responsiveness and improved embryo quality in infertile women undergoing ART
Minerva obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.23736/s2724-606x.22.05188-0

BACKGROUND: Infertile women carrying ovarian endometriomas can be managed either with surgery or by in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The aim of this study was to compare ovarian responsiveness to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in assiste…

Fertility Sparing Procedure using Carbon Dioxide Fiber Laser Vaporization of Ovarian Endometrioma
Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE ·doi:10.3791/63607

The surgical management of endometrioma is still a matter of debate. Cystectomy, which is recognized as the standard technique, seems to be associated with a potential reduction in the ovarian reserve due to the inadvertent removal and ther…

'Guess who'? An Italian multicentric study on pigmentation traits prevalence in endometriosis localizations
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2022.05.001

OBJECTIVES: Previous evidence seems to support the more common presence of certain pigmentation types in women with endometriosis. The aim of this study was to assess the association of certain somatic phenotypes with specific localizations…

Concomitant autoimmunity may be a predictor of more severe stages of endometriosis
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-021-94877-z

Pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unclear and a role of both innate and adaptive immune system has been postulated. Some recent findings have revealed an increased risk to have concomitant autoimmune disease in women with endometriosis…

The pathogenesis of endometriosis: clues from the immunological evidence
Minerva obstetrics and gynecology ·doi:10.23736/s2724-606x.21.04768-7

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis pathogenesis is still a matter of debate. It is now agreed that a complex cooperation of genetic, hormonal, immune and environmental factors is implicated. However, no consensus has been reached yet on what first…

Cellular Components Contributing to Fibrosis in Endometriosis: A Literature Review
Journal of minimally invasive gynecology ·doi:10.1016/j.jmig.2019.11.011

Endometriosis-related fibrosis represents a complex phenomenon with underlying mechanisms yet to be clarified. Fibrosis is consistently present in all disease forms and contributes to classic endometriosis-related symptoms of pain and infer…
