OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic procedure with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum and histological study of the lesions. SETTING: An academic teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: A series of 500 women undergoing …
The management of large endometriomas was described in a series of 814 patients. Combined therapy using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and carbon dioxide laser laparoscopy was proposed. Drainage and GnRHa for 12 weeks provo…
OBJECTIVE: To compare histologically and stereologically the endometriotic nodule of the rectovaginal septum to peritoneal endometriosis. DESIGN: Morphometric investigation, cytokeratin and vimentin content, and steroid receptor evaluation…
A computerized morphometrical investigation was performed on endometriotic tissue from the peritoneum (n = 225) and rectovaginal nodules (n = 65) to compare histologically and stereologically the rectovaginal septum endometriotic nodule to …
In the pelvis, three different forms of endometriosis (Donnez et al, 1992) must be considered: (1) peritoneal, (2) ovarian, (3) rectovaginal septum. By evaluation of the mitotic activity and the stromal vascularization, we have recently sug…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quantitatively cytokeratin and vimentin staining in glandular and stromal cells of eutopic and ectopic endometrium. DESIGN: The investigation of cytokeratin and vimentin was carried out using the new computerized tec…
A series of 231 cases of deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum is presented. Laparoscopic procedures with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules were performed in all cases. In three cases, the bowel lumen was …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) content in glandular and stromal cells of eutopic and ectopic endometrium. DESIGN: A recently advanced stereographic computer technology was applied for the inv…
Endometriosis most commonly affects the pelvic peritoneum close to the ovaries, including the uterosacral ligaments, the ovarian fossa peritoneum, and the perito- neum of the cul-de-sac.\nThe increased diagnosis of endometriosis at laparosc…

Peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis are anatomically highly polymorphous and can give rise to pain and sterility. Endometriosis can be recognized and evaluated by means of laparoscopy and an appropriate therapeutic strategy determined. Sur…

In order to assess adequately the effectiveness of danazol, Gestrinone, and Buserelin, a prospective nonrandomized study was initiated in 126 patients with laparoscopically confirmed ovarian endometriosis. After hormonal therapy, laparotomy…
In order to prevent postoperative adhesions often present after CO 2 laser vaporization of large endometriomas, 62 patients with endometriomas greater than 3 cm diameter were treated with a new procedure. Partial cystectomy was performed us…
