The Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily comprises highly conserved cytokines that orchestrate key cellular functions, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Within the ovary, TGF-β family members serve as pivo…
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of totally intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis (TICA) in patients undergoing colorectal resection for the treatment of deep endometriosis (DE) affecting the bowel. …
BackgroundTechnological advances in visual systems have contributed to overcoming the limitations in spatial perception of minimally invasive techniques. To date, there is a lack of literature on the advantages of 3D vision systems over 4K …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate complication rate and functional outcomes of nerve-sparing parametrectomy for deep endometriosis in relation to the extension of the surgical procedure, based on recognizable anatomical landmarks. METHODS: This was a…
BackgroundIn 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT 3.5, which is now widely used in medical education, training, and research. Despite its valuable use for the generation of information, concerns persist about its authenticity and accuracy. Its und…
BACKGROUND: The proliferation of several robotic platforms presents an opportunity to pinpoint the most suitable system for specific procedures and patient profiles. This study aims to explore differences in complications and functional out…
BackgroundComplete bicorporeal uterus, double cervix and obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (classified as U3bC2V2 according to ESHRE/ESGE classification) is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract. This condition is typically a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate ureteral involvement using transvaginal sonography (TVS) regarding the distortion of the course of the ureters caused by deep endometriosis (DE), which can facilitate predicting the need for ureterolysis during surger…
Endometriosis is a benign inflammatory onco-mimetic disease affecting 10-15% of women in the world. When it is refractory to medical treatments, surgery may be required. Usually, laparoscopy is the preferred approach, but robotic surgery ha…
PURPOSE: The surgical approach to bowel endometriosis is still unclear. The aim of the study is to compare TICA to conventional specimen extractions and extra-abdominal insertion of the anvil in terms of both complications and functional ou…
OBJECTIVE: Ureteral endometriosis has an incidence of 0.1% to 1%. The type of surgery required is either conservative (ureterolysis) or radical treatment, depending on the degree of ureter infiltration. The incidence of intraoperative and p…
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery is the gold standard treatment for deep endometriosis when medical management fails. In selected cases, such as when bowel or urinary tract are involved, robotic assisted surgery can be useful due to i…
OBJECTIVE: Surgical management of bowel endometriosis is still controversial. Recently, many authors have pointed out the potential benefits of preserving the superior rectal artery, thus ensuring better perfusion of the anastomosis. The ai…
Hysteroscopic uterine evacuation of early pregnancy loss using tissue removal devices seems to be a safe and feasible procedure in selected cases. The hysteroscopic approach allows the precise localisation of the gestational sac inside the …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional outcomes of nerve-sparing surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with or without posterolateral parametrectomy. METHODS: A multicenter, observational, retrospective, cohort study was performe…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and the efficacy of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy with round ligament bladder hitching. METHODS: This is a monocentric retrospective study. Enrolled patients affected by deep endometriosis unde…
BACKGROUND: Deep endometriosis (DE) usually creates a distortion of the retroperitoneal anatomy and may infiltrate the parametria with an oncomimetic pathway similar to cervical cancer. The condition represents a severe manifestation of end…
