Endometriosis surgery involving the ureter poses significant challenges requiring meticulous surgical techniques and vigilant postoperative care. This chapter addresses key aspects of ureterolysis techniques, intraoperative management of ur…

Endometriosis is a chronic condition, with debilitating symptoms affecting all ages. Dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain often begin in adolescence, affecting school, daily activities, and relationships. Despite the profound burden of endometriosi…

Background: In the field of endometriosis, several classification, staging and reporting systems have been developed and published, but there are no data on the uptake of these systems in clinical practice. Objectives: The objective of the …

STUDY QUESTION: Which classification system for endometriosis do clinicians use most frequently, and why? SUMMARY ANSWER: Even with a high uptake of the three existing endometriosis classification systems, most clinicians managing endometri…

ObjectiveIn the field of endometriosis, several classification, staging and reporting systems have been developed, but do clinicians routinely use these classification systems, which system do they use and what are the clinicians' motivatio…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this case series is to evaluate the rates of ureteral injury at the time of laparoscopic hysterectomy among high-volume fellowship-trained surgeons. DESIGN: A retrospective chart review was performed, eval…

STUDY QUESTION: Can a set of terms and definitions be prepared on endometriosis that would be the basis for standardization in disease description, classification and research? SUMMARY ANSWER: The current paper outlines a list of 49 terms a…

OBJECTIVE: Different classification systems have been developed for endometriosis, using different definitions for the disease, the different subtypes, symptoms and treatments. In addition, an International Glossary on Infertility and Ferti…

BackgroundAdolescent endometriosis typically presents as stage I with superficial peritoneal disease and less commonly as stage III or IV with deeply infiltrative disease. Endometriosis lesions can be destroyed (cautery or laser), cutting o…

Study objectiveTo compare symptom persistence in women with adenomyosis based on retention or removal of the cervix at the time of hysterectomy.DesignRetrospective cohort study and follow-up survey (Canadian Task Force classification xx).Se…

The combination of a thorough physical examination and imaging with either magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or pelvic ultrasound are important in the preoperative planning for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). A 2-dimensional (2D) rend…

ObjectiveTo determine whether the use of the robot for surgical treatment of endometriosis is better than traditional laparoscopy in terms of operative length, perioperative parameters, and quality of life outcomes.DesignMulticenter, random…

INTRODUCTION: Operative morbidity of laparoscopic myomectomy largely relates to the potential for intraoperative blood loss. We sought to determine whether blood loss varies according to the menstrual cycle. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrosp…

Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility and disabling pelvic pain in reproductive age women. The most widely accepted theory of its pathogenesis is the retrograde flow of menstrual products, although extra-abdominal and extrapelvic d…

Background and objectivesTo estimate the effect of surgeon volume on key perioperative outcomes after all modes of hysterectomy.MethodsWe performed a review of 1914 hysterectomies performed at a large, academic tertiary-care hospital. Women…

Background and objectivesThe goal of this study is to obtain updated surveillance statistics for hysterectomy procedures in the United States and identify factors associated with undergoing a minimally invasive approach to hysterectomy.Meth…

This review discusses in detail robotic tubal reanastomosis as one of the classic reproductive surgery procedures. Other applications of robotics in adnexal surgery are also reviewed, including adult and pediatric adnexectomy, resection of …

Background and objectivesTo estimate the incidence of operative complications and compare operative cost and overall cost of different methods of benign hysterectomy including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques.Methods…
