Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder in women of reproductive age. It is the leading cause of chronic pelvic pain. While the mechanisms underlying this pain remain elusive, rare cases of pelvic nerve involvement can result in…

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenge. The recent development of a saliva-based micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for the diagnosis of endometriosis may enable a timelier and less invasive approach, but this requires …

Endometriosis is a complex gynecologic disorder characterized primarily by symptoms of pelvic pain, infertility, and altered quality of life. National and international guidelines highlight the diagnostic difficulties and lack of conclusive…

Endometriosis is a chronic and disabling gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometrio…

OBJECTIVE: Patients with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) present with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis but clinical and imaging exams are inconclusive. Consequently, laparoscopy is usually necessary to confirm diagnosis. The …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can a saliva-based miRNA signature for endometriosis-associated infertility be designed and validated by analysing the human miRNome? DESIGN: The prospective ENDOmiARN study (NCT04728152) included 200 saliva samples obta…

Ovarian tumors are the most frequent adnexal mass, raising diagnostic and therapeutic issues linked to a large spectrum of tumors, with a continuum from benign to malignant. Thus far, none of the available diagnostic tools have proven effic…

OBJECTIVES: In contrast to miRNA expression, little attention has been given to piwiRNA (piRNA) expression among endometriosis patients. The aim of the present study was to explore the human piRNAome and to investigate a potential piRNA sal…

BACKGROUND: The discovery of a saliva-based micro–ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for endometriosis in 2022 opened up new perspectives for early and noninvasive diagnosis of the disease. The 109-miRNA saliva signature is the product of m…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this consensus article was to develop guidelines by a focused panel of experts to elaborate a lexicon of image interpretation, and a standardized region-based reporting of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with m…

The aim of our study was to describe the bioinformatics approach to analyze miRNome with Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) of 200 plasma samples from patients with and without endometriosis. Patients were prospectively included in the ENDO-m…

Endometriosis-a systemic and chronic condition occurring in women of childbearing age-is a highly enigmatic disease with unresolved questions. While multiple biomarkers, genomic analysis, questionnaires, and imaging techniques have been adv…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at assessing perioperative results of robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This retrospective French multicentric study included all patients with DI…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis diagnosis constitutes a considerable economic burden for the healthcare system with diagnostic tools often inconclusive with insufficient accuracy. We sought to analyze the human miRNAome to define a saliva-based d…

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a complication of endometriosis. We describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of mother and fetus in 11 new cases of SHiP with endometriosis and 43 cases reported in the…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in locating endometriosis implants within the bladder wall with assessment of ureteral orifice extension using surgical f…

ObjectiveTo review prospectively the clinical characteristics of patients suffering from urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) in France, in 2017.Study designWe conducted a prospective observational multicenter study including women managed sur…

OBJECTIVE: To provide guidelines from the French College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (CNGOF), based on the best currently available evidence, for the prophylactic procedures associated with gynecological surgery for benign disease su…

ObjectiveTo draw up recommendations on the use of prophylactic gynecologic procedures during surgery for other indications.DesignA consensus panel of 19 experts was convened. A formal conflict of interest policy was established at the onset…

IntroductionSurgical management of Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is still controversial, a thoracic or an abdominal approach can be proposed.MethodsWe conducted a multicentric retrospective study in 8 thoracic, gynecology o…

ObjectiveTo retrospectively determine the accuracy of MRI rectal and pararectal signs in predicting the necessity for segmental resection in the case of lesions located in the rectum.MethodsMR images of consecutive patients treated for rect…

ObjectivesTo describe MRI features of accessory cavitated uterine mass (ACUM) with surgical correlations.MethodsEleven young women with an ACUM at pathology underwent preoperative pelvic MRI. Two experienced radiologists retrospectively ana…

ObjectivesDiagnosis and treatment of endometriosis may be complex and therefore justify the discussion of therapeutic decisions in a multidisciplinary endometriosis board (MEB). The development of endometriosis regional expert centers requi…

OBJECTIVES: The Collège national des gynécologues obstétriciens français (CNGOF), in agreement with the Société de chirurgie gynécologique et pelvienne (SCGP), has set up a commission in 2017 to define endometriosis expert centres, with the…
