Eutopic endometrium and peritoneal, ovarian and colorectal endometriotic tissues express a different profile of Nectin-1,-3,-4 and nectin-like molecule 2
STUDY QUESTION: How is the expression of nectins and nectin-like molecules (Necls) detected by immunostaining altered by endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our results suggest that Nectin-1, -3, -4 and Necl-2 may contribute to the pathogenesis…

OBJECTIVE: We report the first randomized trial of laparoscopically assisted versus open colorectal resection for endometriosis focusing on perioperative complications, improvement in symptoms, quality of life, and fertility. SUMMARY OF BAC…
High recurrence rates have been reported in women treated for endometriosis despite advances in medical and surgical treatments improving both fertility and symptoms. It should therefore be considered a chronic disorder. In this particular …
A role for the EGF system, in particular HER1 and 2, in growth of the endometrium has been suggested but HER1 and 2 have not been studied in all locations of endometriosis and in ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma (OEC) which is a rare for…
ObjectiveTo compare the value of physical examination, transvaginal sonography (TVS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of different locations of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE…
Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition affecting 10 to 15% of the female population. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is diagnosed in 20% of women with endometriosis. Moreover, bowel endometriosis is found in five to 12% of…

Surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. However, few data are available on complications, especially urinary disorders. The aim of this longitudinal study (Canadian Task Force classifica…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis can improve quality of life (QOL), but the results vary widely from one woman to another. The aim of this study was to determine whether the preoperative results on the Physica…
