IntroductionSurgery is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer treatment. However, surgery and perioperative inflammation have been described as potentially pro-metastagenic. In various animal models and other human cancers, intraoperative admini…
RESEARCH QUESTION: How are markers of cell death, invasiveness and progesterone signalling expressed in endometrium and ectopic lesions from adenomyosis patients? DESIGN: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue was collected from 15 contro…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Assess efficacy, safety, fertility outcomes and recurrence after laparoscopic resection of bladder endometriosis (BE) using a CO2 laser. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS: University gynecologic surgery unit, r…
Objective: To describe the available knowledge on vulvo-perineal endometriosis including its diagnosis, clinical management and recurrence rate. Methods: We followed the PRISMA guidelines for Systematic Reviews and our study was prospective…
PurposeTo review 15 years of activities in ovarian tissue cryobanking from medical database files, including patient indications, histological evaluation and clinical characteristics.MethodsRetrospective longitudinal analysis of data from a…
To define the role of surgery in the treatment of endometriomas, we review the literature available via PubMed and cross-reference the published data. We analyze the arguments in favor of and against surgical treatment of endometriomas and …
Endometriosis is one of the most frequently encountered benign diseases in gynecology. Complete resolution of endometriosis is not yet possible, but therapy has essentially three main objectives: (1) to preserve and improve fertility, (2) t…
OBJECTIVE: To describe and evaluate a new technique of laparoscopic treatment of endometriomas that combines excisional and ablative surgery. DESIGN: Descriptive and prospective study. SETTING: Gynecology research unit in a university hos…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the complication rate after laparoscopic total hysterectomy and laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LASH) in case of benign disease. DESIGN: All complications were prospectively recorded at t…
A late consequence of ureteral endometriosis is the silent loss of renal function caused by progressive "enclosure" of the lower part of the ureter by the endometriosis. In our experience, in cases of severe loss of renal function with cort…
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To analyze the prevalence of an unexpected complication due to morcellation and to describe the appearance of this complication on magnetic resonance imaging, as well as its therapy. DESIGN: A well-designed controlled tri…
Ovarian remnant syndrome is a rare but known complication of bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy associated or not with hysterectomy. This complication is frequently related to a history of multiple surgery, pelvic inflammatory disease, or endo…
Five years after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy and morcellation, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated the presence of an irregular and heterogeneous pelvic mass measuring 40 x 40 x 30 mm. Histologic examination confirmed smoo…
We describe an unusual case of ascites caused by the rupture of a large endometrioma.
ObjectiveTo report two cases of orthotopic transplantation of fresh ovarian tissue.SettingAcademic hospital.Patient(s)Two patients with severe endometriosis, who underwent left oophorectomy for recurrent endometriosis.Intervention(s)Ovarian…
The efficacy of medical and surgical treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility and pelvic pain is a source of ongoing controversy. Complete resolution of endometriosis is not yet possible and current therapy has three main objective…
Peritoneal endometriosis is probably caused by the implantation of regurgitated menstrual cells. The ovarian endometrioma is the consequence of non-hormone-regulated bleeding from intraovarian epithelial inclusions after they have undergone…
The efficacy of medical and surgical treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility and pelvic pain is a source of questions and controversies. Complete resolution of endometriosis is not yet possible, but therapy has essentially three m…
The diagnosis of peritoneal endometriosis at the time of laparoscopy is often made by the observation of typically puckered black or bluish lesions. There are also numerous subtle appearances of peritoneal endometriosis. The lesions are fre…
This manuscript is a review of new ideas regarding the pathogenesis of peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis, and retroperitoneal adenomyosis. Peritoneal endometriosis, the different aspects of which (black, red and white) represe…
This article is a review of the efficacy of medical and surgical treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility and pelvic pain. Endometriosis is the cause of pelvic pain (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia) and infertility in more than 35% of wo…
