Objective The objective of this revised official guideline, published by the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG) and coordinated in the joint guidelines program of the DGGG, the Austrian Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics…
PURPOSE: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) endows cells with migratory and invasive properties, a prerequisite for the establishment of endometriotic lesions. However, the role EMT might play in the pathophysiology of endometriosis is…
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…
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…
The role of neurotrophins in eutopic endometrium from endometriosis-patients was investigated in a prospective study using immunofluorescence-staining, Western blot and a neuronal growth assay. The nerve growth factor is expressed in primar…

PurposeTo investigate the influence of different kinds of endometriotic lesions, especially peritoneal endometriotic implants in pain generation and the pain reduction after surgical excision in a prospective study.MethodsFifty-one pre-meno…
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical relevance of endometriosis-associated nerve fibers in the development of endometriosis-associated symptoms.DesignProspective nonrandomized study.SettingUniversity hospital endometriosis center.Patient(s)…
PurposeTo established a strategy for diagnostic and therapeutic management of umbilical endometriosis and to determine the biological character.MethodsClinical examination, vaginal and abdominal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging of the…
BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) shows similarities to malignant diseases. A recent study involving DIE patients found endometriosis in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection. However, it is unclear wh…
OBJECTIVE: To describe a new surgical approach to rectovaginal endometriosis. Rectovaginal endometriosis can be infiltrative or superficial involving the bowel. Only infiltrative disease should be treated by intestinal resection. However, i…
BackgroundA new combined vaginal-laparoscopic-abdominal approach for rectovaginal endometriosis allows intraoperative digital bowel palpation to assess bowel infiltration and prevents unnecessary bowel resections. This technique was compare…
The medical treatment of endometriosis needs to be optimized. Therapeutic management strategies for endometriosis-associated pain or recurrent disease are primarily aimed at downregulating ovarian function or antagonizing the effect of estr…
ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of oxytocin receptor (OTR) in peritoneal and ovarian endometriotic lesions.DesignRetrospective nonrandomized study.SettingUniversity hospital endometriosis research center.Patient(s)Premenopausal women…
Endometriosis is considered a chronic disease of women during their reproductive phase, which resembles many signs of malignancy. So far, therapeutic options for endometriosis-associated pain and infertility are unsatisfactory and often lea…
The medical treatment of endometriosis needs to be optimized. Therapeutic management strategies of endometriosis-associated pain or recurrent disease is primarily aimed at downregulating the ovarian function or at antagonizing the effect of…
OBJECTIVE: Extragenital endometriosis is a rare form of endometriosis. Due to its invasive and metastatic properties it resembles some features of malignant tumours. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of pr…
Endometriosis affects a 10 % of women during their reproductive years. Unequoral statistics concerning the incidence of adenomyosis are not available although a combined occurrence of both diseases is found in a 20 % of cases. The risk that…
Danazol, an inhibitor of pituitary gonadotropin with weak androgenic effect, is currently being used for the treatment of endometriosis. In contrast to other C17 alkylated anabolic steroids, it has been rarely associated with the occurrence…
