The surgical management of presumed benign ovarian tumors (PBOT) must ensure complete removal of the cyst, reduce the risk of recurrence (especially in case of endometrioma), prevent any risk of tumor dissemination, and must preserve health…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Deep infiltrating endometriosis is a very painful condition and the mechanism of pain is still poorly understood. Pain and hyperalgesia can partly be explained by an increased number of nerve structures in the painful lesio…

Endometriosis causes pelvic pain and infertility. Infertility results from effects of endometriosis exerted in the pelvic cavity, in the ovaries and/or on the uterus. Medical treatment effective on pain and at preventing disease recurrence …

The relationship between chronic pelvic pain symptoms and endometriosis is unclear because painful symptoms are frequent in women without this pathology, and because asymptomatic forms of endometriosis exist. Our comprehensive review attemp…

Endometriosis is a common disease in gynecology. Many theories were proposed to explain the endometriosis pathogenesis. The distribution of the endometriosis lesions seems to be interesting in order to understand the endometriosis pathogene…

Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States, more than 75% of which are removed via an open laparotomy. Most hysterectomies that currently require an abdominal approach may be performed with laparoscopi…

Müllerianosis may be defined as an organoid structure of embryonic origin; a choristoma composed of müllerian rests--normal endometrium, normal endosalpinx, and normal endocervix--singly or in combination, incorporated within other normal o…

Intestinal endometriosis accounts for 8-12% of all endometriosis and rectal involvement is most often encountered in the context of deep pelvic infiltration. Intestinal symptoms, often nonspecific, are most typically seen as painful defecat…

The relationship between chronic pelvic pain symptoms and endometriosis is unclear because painful symptoms are frequent in women without this pathology, and because asymptomatic forms of endometriosis exist. Our comprehensive review attemp…

BACKGROUND: To derive a diagnostic model based on symptoms and history as assessed by a standardized questionnaire to predict posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) among women with chronic pelvic pain symptoms. METHODS: 134 women…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography (REU) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting rectal wall involvement in patients presenting histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). …
