Supplemental Material, SRIB_10.1177_1553350620944267 for Potential Value of Haptic Feedback in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Deep Endometriosis by Stijn L. Vlek, Rens Burm, Tim M. Govers, Michel P. H. Vleugels, Jurriaan B. Tuynman and Velj…
Supplemental Material, Supplemental_Material for Potential Value of Haptic Feedback in Minimally Invasive Surgery for Deep Endometriosis by Stijn L. Vlek, Rens Burm, Tim M. Govers, Michel P. H. Vleugels, Jurriaan B. Tuynman and Velja Mijato…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the performance of the patient-centredness of endometriosis care in a secondary and a tertiary care setting and how can it be improved? SUMMARY ANSWER: Overall, patient-centredness was comparable in the two endometri…
Abstract STUDY QUESTION What is the effect of uterine bathing with sonography gel prior to IVF/ICSI-treatment on live birth rates after fresh embryo transfer in patients with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER After formal interim analysis and p…
BACKGROUND: For surgical endometriosis, treatment key is to properly identify the peritoneal lesions. The aim of this clinical study was to investigate if advanced imaging improves the detection rate by comparing narrow-band imaging (NBI), …
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…
The main finding of the large retrospective cohort study by Marcellin et al. (BJOG 2019;126:1600–8) is the high prevalence of ileocaecal endometriosis (ICE) of 25.6%. In previous surgical series, the reported prevalence of ICE is lower, wit…
We present a microfluidic platform for less-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis based on measuring deformability of eutopic endometrial stromal cells. Primary endometrial cells from patients were found to travel inside a narrow microchannel…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis commonly occurs with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and is associated with subfertility and a higher miscarriage rate. Recent evidence showed abnormal vascularization in the endometrium in patients with adenomyosis,…
STUDY QUESTION: Does pain or volume of used contrast medium impact the effectiveness of oil-based contrast during hysterosalpingography (HSG)? SUMMARY ANSWER: In women who report moderate to severe pain during HSG, the use of oil-based cont…
BACKGROUND: The best surgical technique for managing ovarian endometriomas is still widely debated, though the current standard is stripping cystectomy. The use of plasma energy as a treatment option is a relatively new concept and little d…
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…
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study whether human preimplantation embryos regulate endometrial stromal cell (hESC) migration.MethodsPrimary hESCs were isolated from fertile patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign conditions (ut…
STUDY QUESTION: Does incisional endometriosis (IE) harbor somatic cancer-driver mutations? SUMMARY ANSWER: We found that approximately one-quarter of IE cases harbor somatic-cancer mutations, which commonly affect components of the MAPK/RAS…
BACKGROUND: Tubal pathology is a causative factor in 20% of subfertile couples. Traditionally, tubal testing during fertility work-up is performed by hysterosalpingography (HSG). Hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) is a new technique t…
BACKGROUND: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a rare, life-threatening event, particularly relevant to women with endometriosis or deciduosis. METHODS: To determine the type of lesions leading to SHiP, a literature search wa…
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…
Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum in Pregnancy (SHiP), an unprovoked (nontraumatic) intraperitoneal bleeding in pregnancy (up to 42days postpartum), is associated with serious adverse pregnancy outcomes. To evaluate the clinical consequences of SH…
Endometriosis is a common disease associated with pelvic pain and subfertility. Laparoscopic surgical treatment has proven effective in endometriosis, but is hampered by a high rate of recurrence. The aim of this systematic review was to ev…
