STUDY QUESTIONS: The primary objective is to investigate if continuous use of oral contraceptives is non-inferior compared to long-term pituitary desensitization with a GnRH agonist prior to IVF/ICSI in patients with moderate to severe endo…
STUDY QUESTION: Can we identify patient characteristics that distinguish which ovulatory infertile women undergoing hysterosalpingography (HSG) benefit more or less from flushing with oil-based contrast medium compared to water-based contra…
Background: Clinical management of endometriomas, prior to starting treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), has since long been a matter of debate. Whereas cystectomy has been advocated in the past, recently more evidence h…
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intrauterine insemination (IUI) in moderate to severe endometriosis patients, a systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted since the role of this treatment strategy in these patients is a matter…
No noninvasive diagnostic tests reliably discriminate endome-triosis and other pelvic pain-causing diseases. CA-125, originally introduced as a marker for ovarian cancer, is increased by endometriosis, but also by pregnancy and menstruation…
A prospective observational cohort study was performed to examine patient satisfaction after one Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment cycle in moderate to severe endometriosis patients. From May 2012 till September 2013, 25 pati…
Long-term pituitary down-regulation with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for 3–6 months prior to IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) improves clinical pregnancy rates in endometriosis patients. However, some discuss…
Purpose The aim of this study is to assess post-operative complications, symptoms, patient satisfaction, and fertility outcome after a long-term follow-up period in patients with severe intestinal endometriosis. Methods In this retrospectiv…
Anaphylactic reactions to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are exceedingly rare, but if they occur, they can be life threatening. This case describes a 33-year-old patient with endometriosis who developed an acute allergic rea…
Purpose Intestinal bowel endometriosis is reported in up to 37% of women with proven endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate by colonoscopy and magnetic resonance imaging, patients suspected of deep infiltrating endometriosis (…
ObjectiveTo investigate the success rate of proximal tubal occlusion with Essure(®) devices in subfertile women with unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx and to observe the results of subsequent treatment with IVF-ET and/or frozen embryo tr…
ObjectiveBoth the intraperitoneal seeding and the uterine-vesical extension theory have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of bladder endometriosis. The aim of this study was to describe MR imaging findings of bladder endometriosis a…
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate how many patients with endometriosis have concomitant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or constipation according to the Rome III criteria. Furthermore, the value of an additional gastroenterologi…
INTRODUCTION: Intestinal involvement is reported in up to 12% of women with endometriosis. Complete large bowel obstruction is a rare complication of intestinal endometriosis. It is estimated to occur in less than 1% of the cases. OBJECTIVE…
BACKGROUND: To gain more insight in whether failure of intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment in patients with idiopathic subfertility could be related to diminished fertilization, the aim of this study is to compare the fertilization of…
Endometriosis, a common cause of morbidity, affects 10% of women of reproductive age. In this review we focus on the new developments in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment options, reviewing the literature published about this enigmatic …
BACKGROUND: We questioned whether a laparoscopy should be performed after a normal hysterosalpingography before starting intrauterine inseminations (IUI) in order to detect further pelvic pathology and whether a postponed procedure after si…
Endometriose is een chronische aandoening die wordt gekenmerkt door de aanwezigheid en proliferatie van endometrium en stroma buiten het cavum uteri. Het is een van de meest voorkomende aandoeningen bij vrouwen in de reproductieve leeftijd …
ObjectiveTo develop a prognostic model for the outcome of IUI.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingFour fertility centers in The Netherlands.Patient(s)Couples of whom the female partners had a regular cycle and who had been treated with …
ObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic laparoscopy after normal hysterosalpingography (HSG) and before intrauterine insemination (IUI) with respect to laparoscopic findings leading to a change of treatment decisions in couples with…
The aim of this study was to investigate cycle dependent changes of serum CA 125 and CA 15-3 concentrations during spontaneous ovulatory cycles. Twenty apparently healthy women with spontaneous menstrual cycles attending our infertility cli…
