The study investigates whether a 3-day pretreatment course with a GnRH antagonist in the early follicular phase has an impact on the number of retrieved COCs in a GnRH antagonist stimulation protocol. This is a retrospective single center c…

OBJECTIVES: Several studies have investigated the correlation between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. However, the role of adenomyosis as a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcome in women with endometriosis ha…

To compare the sonographic changes in the size of endometriotic nodules and endometriomas after 12-month treatment with dienogest (DNG) or norethisterone acetate (NETA). This prospective study included patients with rectovaginal endometriot…

To assess if the ultrasonographic features of rectosigmoid endometriotic nodules allow predicting the depth of infiltration of endometriosis in the intestinal wall. This study included patients who had ultrasonographic diagnosis of rectosig…

This study investigates whether bowel preparation (BP) influences the performance of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis. This prospective study included 214 patients who were referred to our in…

Several studies investigated the correlation between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes. However, the role of adenomyosis as a risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes in women with endometriosis has yet to be esta…

To compare the diagnostic performance of two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (2D-TVS), three-dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography (3D-TVS), high definition real-time transvaginal ultrasonography (HDLive-TVS), and magnetic reson…

To investigate the changes in the sonographically detectable alterations of the myometrium caused by adenomyosis in patients treated with ulipristal acetate (UPA) because of uterine fibroids. This prospective study included women of reprodu…

To compare the accuracy of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) and transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis. This prospective study was performed between October 2013 and March 2015 and included …

Estrogen is involved in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis and it rises considerably during in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles. This study aims to assess the impact of ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF on the sonographic characteristics of ade…

To correlate the elastographic characteristics of rectosigmoid endometriotic nodules with symptoms and histology. This prospective study included patients with rectosigmoid endometriotic nodules scheduled for laparoscopic segmental colourec…
