Background and objectiveWith advancement in technology, it has been possible to use minimally invasive surgical approaches for performing pyeloplasty for the treatment of ureteral strictures. This study aims to investigate the current trend…
Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. Affected individuals and their partners report consequences to sexual functioning, sexual satisfaction, and relationship…
Pathological biopsy protocols require tissue marking dye (TMD) for orientation. In some cases (e.g., close margin), additional immunohistochemical analyses can be necessary. Therefore, the correlation between the applied TMD during macrosco…
BACKGROUND: Implanon has been reported to be effective in the treatment of dysmenorrhea. We compared the therapeutic efficacies of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and Implanon with regard to pain relief in women with endometriosis.…
Interleukin (IL)-6 has been implicated in the etiology of endometriosis. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -174 in the IL-6 gene promoter appears to influence IL-6 transcription rates in vitro and basal IL-6 levels in vivo.…
ObjectiveExperimental data indicate that interleukin (IL)-1 plays a role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We determined the genotype and the allele frequencies of the IL1B exon 5 polymorphism and the corresponding IL-1beta serum levels…
PurposeCatechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inactivates the estradiol metabolites, 2-hydroxy and 4-hydroxy catechols, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. A COMT valine to methionine polymorphism (G-to-A) in exon …
Interleukin (IL)-1 has been shown to induce peritoneal adhesions. We determined the IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) genotype with respect to the two most common variant alleles IL-1RN*2 and IL-1RN*3 in Caucasian women with peritoneal adhe…
Surgical treatment of endometriosis should be done during laparoscopy, which is obligatory for the diagnosis of the disease. In case of continuing postoperative symptoms, a medical treatment should be administered. As endometriosis is a hor…
