In the context of increased adoption of minimally invasive surgery for benign gynaecological conditions, this study underscores the paramount importance of patient safety. We explored the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG), a fluorescent d…

Endometriosis in adolescents is often underrecognized and is a contributing factor to significant delays in its diagnosis and management. Extraovarian endometrioma is uncommon, especially in the adolescent age range. We report on a rare cas…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. It is associated with abdomino-pelvic pain, infertility and other n…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether ovarian fixation at transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is a marker for a need for laparoscopic pelvic sidewall surgery (ie, ureterolysis or dissection of adhesions involving the pelvic sidewall). The relationship…

To determine the relationship between a negative ovarian sliding sign (i.e. fixed ovary) at transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) and surgical skill level required for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, according to the Royal Australian and New Ze…

To determine whether a negative ovarian sliding sign is significantly associated with the need for performing laparoscopic ureterolysis and/or pelvic sidewall and bowel adhesiolysis with suspected endometriosis. Multicentre retrospective di…

The aim of this study was to determine whether a negative ovarian sliding sign at TVU may be useful for the identification of women who require laparoscopic ureterolysis and/or pelvic sidewall adhesiolysis preoperatively, that would otherwi…

The pre-operative transvaginal ultrasound based endometriosis staging system (UBESS) has been demonstrated to predict surgical skill level required for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. This study aimed to determine whether UBESS can also…
