OBJECTIVE: Radical vaginal trachelectomy is the fertility-preserving surgery for patients with early stage cervical cancer. However, it has not gained widespread approval by gynecologic oncologists because of difficulties in the dissection …

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the quality of a combined vaginal-abdominal surgical approach to rectovaginal endometriosis by analyzing long-term outcome and recurrence rates. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study in Berlin, Germany, women with…

BACKGROUND: Recent studies demonstrated the potential involvement of nerve fibres in the chronic inflammatory process of endometriosis. We aimed to characterize nerve fibres in the proximal and distal areas of the peritoneal endometriotic l…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate neuronal remodeling processes in the uterine innervation, particularly a remodeling of sympathetic nerve fibers, as well as the role of estrogen in this modulation in adenomyosis. DESIGN: Retrospective case-contro…

OBJECTIVE: Rectovaginal endometriosis has the potential to infiltrate into the rectal wall. The recognition of infiltration prior to surgery is of utmost importance since only infiltrative disease should be treated by partial or complete re…

OBJECTIVES: An imbalance in the ratio of sensory to sympathetic nerve fibre (NF) density in peritoneal endometriotic lesions (pEL) has recently been demonstrated and leads to the assumption that this preponderance of the sensory pro-inflamm…

BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle cells (SMC) are common components of endometriotic lesions. SMC have been characterized previously in peritoneal, ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriotic lesions and adenomyosis. The aim of this retrospective s…
