Presacral neurectomy is useful in the treatment of severe, disabling dysmenorrhea secondary to endometriosis and pelvic pain associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. The efficacy of presacral neurectomy for the relief of midline dysmeno…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis commonly affects the pelvic organs but can also affect organs outside the pelvis and is then termed extragenital endometriosis. CASES: Successful robotically assisted laparoscopic management of extragenital endome…

We are now at a stage where most intra-abdominal procedures can be performed as minimally invasive surgery. Robotic surgery has the potential to enable a laparoscopic approach for procedures performed by laparotomy due to the technical diff…

In recent years, there have been significant changes in many aspects of extragenital endometriosis ranging from the epidemiology to the management of the disease. Advances in minimally invasive surgery and expansion of the field have lead t…

OBJECTIVE: To compare robot assisted laparoscopic platform to standard laparoscopy for the treatment of endometriosis. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort controlled study. SETTING: Tertiary referral center. PATIENT(S): Seventy-eight reproduc…

Intrinsic abnormalities in transplanted eutopic endometrium are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of pelvic endometriosis. Herein we investigated transcriptomic differences in human endometrial stromal fibroblasts (hESFs) from wome…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the coexistence of endometriosis in women presenting with symptomatic leiomyomas. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Tertiary university medical center. PATIENT(S): We reviewed the medical records of 131 pati…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: We aim to describe the clinical characteristics and the principles of combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic management of women with diaphragmatic endometriosis at our institution. DESIGN: Case series (Canadian Task Forc…

Endometriosis is characterized by endometrial tissue growth outside the uterus, due primarily to survival, proliferation, and neoangiogenesis of eutopic endometrial cells and fragments refluxed into the peritoneal cavity during menses. Alth…

PURPOSE: We report the clinical characteristics and the principles of laparoscopic management of ureteral endometriosis at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with ureteral endometrios…

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder characterized by pain and infertility. In addition to estrogen dependence, progesterone resistance is an emerging feature of this disorder. Specifically, a delayed transition from the prolifera…
