BACKGROUND: Patients with endometriosis undergoing surgery are at risk of moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. Clonidine, an alpha-2 agonist with analgesic properties, may improve multimodal pain management in these patients. METHODS: We…
BACKGROUND: A high proportion of patients who undergo surgery continue to suffer from moderate to severe pain in the early postoperative period despite advances in pain management strategies. Previous studies suggest that clonidine, an alph…
INTRODUCTION: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the rectum or sigmoid colon is associated with infertility, severe pain and decreased quality of life. As most women with DIE are young, many have a pregnancy intention. Treatmen…
Extrapelvic endometriosis is a rare type of endometriosis. The diagnosis can be challenging, especially if the patient lacks characteristic endometriosis symptoms. This case report presents a 27-year-old woman diagnosed with both primary um…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate pregnancy and live birth rate after surgical resection of rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and study if complications affect these rates. STUDY DESIGN: Historical case s…
Study ObjectiveTo present 10 standardized and reproducible surgical steps allowing for complete excision of deep endometriosis nodules involving the sciatic nerve.DesignSurgical education video. The local institutional review board confirme…
AIM: The aim was to assess the functional outcome and quality of life in patients with low and mid rectal endometriosis who have undergone disc excision using a semicircular transanal staple device, a procedure we have named the Rouen techn…
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to assess the intra- and interobserver variability of two- and three-dimensional rectosigmoid nodule size measurements by transvaginal sonography in patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis. MATERIAL …
BACKGROUND: Surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis carries a substantial risk of short- and long-term complications, which has to be counterbalanced against the potential effect of the procedure. Prospective data are scarce in the field of …
INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to assess the risk of surgery after initial conservative treatment of rectosigmoid endometriosis in relation to demographic data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted on the tertiary endometri…
INTRODUCTION: Reduced fertility is a major concern in women with endometriosis. The influence of surgery of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the bowel wall on fertility is controversial and the literature on this field is het…
AIMS: The study aimed to assess the diagnostic value of serial monitoring of biochemical inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) count) in the postoperative diagnosis of anastomotic leakage or ureteral inju…
The Cochrane collaboration has published two reviews on endometriosis in 2014. The review by Duffy et al analyses ten RCTs focussing on pain or subfertility, and laparoscopic surgery results in lower pain scores and increased clinical pregn…
A considerable proportion of women with endometriosis have intestinal involvement of the endometriosis. Intestinal endometriosis (IE) often results in abdominal pain and thus mimics the symptoms of other bowel diseases, including colon canc…
Rectovaginal endometriosis can be a cause of severe pain, dyspareunia and intestinal problems. A thorough examination is needed and should include diagnostic imaging, such as transvaginal or transrectal ultrasound or magnetic resonance imag…
A Cochrane review concluded that gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHas) are more effective at relieving endometriosis-associated pain than no treatment/placebo, while there was not found any difference in pain relief between GnR…
This study evaluates the interobserver variation of transvaginal ultrasonographic measurements of the size of deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions in the rectosigmoid wall performed by an experienced and a less experienced sonographer. F…
Sir, Recently, the use of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and characteristics of deep-infiltrating endometriosis in general have been described (1). We would like to call attention to the use of 3D-transvaginal ultrasound as a new diagnos…
