STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess recurrence and pregnancy rates in women with ovarian endometrioma treated via ablation using plasma energy. DESIGN: Retrospective non-comparative pilot study including 55 patients treated during 28 months, with p…

The surgical treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis is challenging and complex. Currently, the gold standard for patient care is the referral to tertiary centers with a multidisciplinary team including gynecologists, colorectal surgeo…

Benign ovarian tumors can be separated in three groups: teratoma, unilocular cyst and endometrioma. Laparoscopy should always be preferred for the surgical approach. Before menopause, conservative treatment should be preferred apart from pr…

Good knowledge of physiopathology, surgical techniques and of the literature allows for an adequate treatment of ovarian endometrioma. Preoperative medical treatment has not shown to be efficient and might be adapted to each patient (contin…

BackgroundThis study was designed to compare the surgical outcomes of standard and reverse laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted in a teaching and research hospita…

ObjectiveTo evaluate in infertile women the benefit of laparoscopic surgical treatment of endometriosis.Patients and methodsAll infertile patients aged 18 to 43 years old, operated between February 2004 and March 2008, with a minimal follow…

ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to assess ovarian tissue loss related to endometrioma cystectomy by 3D-ultrasonography.Patients and methodsWe have retrospectively included 15 women with no previous ovarian surgery who benefited from cyste…

Abdominal wall endometriosis is unusual and mostly occurs in scars following Cesarean section. Although malignant transformation is rare, it must be recognized in order to benefit from radical resection. We report a very rare case of mixed …

OBJECTIVE: To use postoperative examination by three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to compare loss of ovarian parenchyma after ovarian endometrioma ablation with the use of plasma energy versus cystectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective "before and a…

We performed a retrospective three-dimensional ultrasound evaluation of the ovarian features in ten women with no previous ovarian surgery who benefited from ablation by plasma energy for unilateral endometriomas greater than to 30 mm in di…

In ten ovarian endometriomas of diameter exceeding 30 mm, managed by complete vaporization of the inner surface using plasma energy followed by cystectomy, we performed histologic evaluation of the depth of necrosis and the effectiveness of…

Endometriosis has long been considered as a disease of women over 30 years old. However, recent data from the literature demonstrated its high incidence in teenagers. Endometriosis in teenagers is generally associated with chronic pelvic pa…
