OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether there are sonographic features of diffuse adenomyosis in 18-30-year-old nulligravid women without endometriosis and to examine their association with symptoms of dysmenorrhea and abnormal uterine bleeding.…
Although the correlation between endometriosis, junctional zone (JZ) hyperplasia and adenomyosis is still debated, the correlation among JZ and different etiological and clinical aspects is, today, well recognized. Starting from that, clini…
Recent evidence in the literature suggests that surgical excision of the endometrioma wall may reduce ovarian reserve, which may have a negative effect on subsequent reproductive function. However, because of inconsistent results and method…
Endometriosis affects between 5 and 45% of women in reproductive age, is associated with significant morbidity, and constitutes a major public health concern. The correct diagnosis is fundamental in defining the best treatment strategy for …
ObjectiveTo evaluate antimüllerian hormone (AMH) and AMH receptor II (AMHRII) mRNA and protein expression in endometrium and in ovarian or deep lesions of women with endometriosis.DesignProspective study.SettingUniversity hospitals in Italy…
ObjectivesDeep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) represents the most complex form of endometriosis and its treatment is still challenging. The coexistence of DIE with other appearances of endometriosis stimulates new studies to improve the p…
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) represents the most complex form of endometriosis and its treatment is still challenging. The coexistence of DIE with other appearances of endometriosis stimulates new studies to improve the preoperativ…
Laparoscopic treatment of deep endometriosis is the most challenging surgery for gynecologists. The difficulties of this approach are associate with a quite large number of complications. Presurgical sonographic diagnostic findings are ofte…
The aim of this study was to review the sonographic aspects of bladder endometriosis and to establish their usefulness for surgical management. 51 patients with histologically confirmed bladder endometriosis underwent sonographic evaluation…
The aim of this study was to assess three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography (TVS) detectable alterations of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) in patients with only endometriomas (OMAs) or with only deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE…
ObjectiveTo investigate the amount of perceived stress in a group of women with different forms of endometriosis-related pain before and after surgical treatment.DesignProspective clinical trial.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)A group …
Background Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is considered a symptom but also a syndrome with misunderstood pathophysiology and treatment options ranging from conservative management to opioid analgesia and surgical intervention. The aim of this st…
ObjectiveTo assess the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in defining size and location of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with laparoscopic/histologic confirmation.DesignProspective observational study.SettingUniversity hospit…
Purpose To determine the impact of chronic pelvic pain on quality of life in women with or without endometriosis Methods A total of 162 women with chronic pelvic pain were enrolled in a cross-sectional study and divided into two groups: 84 …
ObjectiveThe uterine junctional zone (JZ) alterations are correlated with adenomyosis. An accurate evaluation of the JZ may be obtained by 3-dimensional transvaginal sonography (TVS). The aim of the present prospective study was to assess t…
Study objectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of 3-dimensional transvaginal sonography (3D TVS) in the diagnosis of adenomyosis by correlating adenomyosis-induced morphologic alterations in the myometrium and the junctional zone (JZ) with histopa…
