OBJECTIVE: The non-pregnant uterus shows an intrinsic contractility pattern, actively involved in early reproductive processes. Uterine contractility is characterized by endometrial waves that originate from the junctional zone and varies t…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between sonographic findings at transperineal ultrasound (TPU) and chronic constipation (CC) in women with endometriosis. METHODS: An observational prospective cohort study was performed by enrolling all…

Study objectiveTo assess the accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting early postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic shaving for rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignA single-cen…

INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced healthcare providers to reorganize their activities to protect the population from infection, postponing or suspending many medical procedures. Patients affected by chronic conditions were am…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic placement of a ureteral stent before surgery for posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) was previously recommended, but it could increase perioperative complications. We evaluate the role of preoperative urete…

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether it is possible to predict the risk of ureteral endometriosis (UE) using a mathematical model based on preoperative findings. DESIGN: Prospective observational study conducted between January 2017 and April 2…

INTRODUCTION: The complete surgical removal of endometriosis lesions is not always feasible because some implants may be very small or hidden. The use of intraoperative near-infrared radiation (NIR) imaging after intravenous injection of in…

Introduction. The objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of different rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) vascular patterns using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and their correlation with clinicopathological da…

Study objectiveDespite the enormous impact of lateral parametrial endometriosis (LPE), only a few studies have evaluated its diagnosis, prevalence, and clinical features. Our aim was to estimate the intraoperative prevalence of LPE in patie…

Study objectiveTo compare long-term surgical, clinical, and functional outcomes between conservative and radical surgery in patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) and preoperative intermediate risk of segmental resection.DesignRetro…
