PurposeThis study aimed to develop international expert consensus statements on chronic endometritis (CE) through a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence and a modified Delphi approach.MethodsTen panelists of the Japan Societ…
IntroductionChronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammatory condition of the endometrium characterized by the infiltration of plasma cells in the endometrial stroma. CD138 immunohistochemistry is considered to improve the CE diagnosi…
PurposeTo identify specific bacterial communities in vaginal and endometrial microbiotas as biomarkers of implantation failure by comprehensively analyzing their microbiotas using next-generation sequencing.MethodsWe investigated α- and β-d…
ObjectiveTo elucidate the risk factors associated with resignation from work of Japanese women undergoing infertility treatment.MethodsA total of 1727 female patients who attended a private fertility clinic in Japan participated in the Japa…
Intestinal endometriosis exposed to the mucosa is relatively rare. Therefore, its endoscopic findings with pit pattern and magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging and clinicopathological features of intestinal endometriosis exposed to…
Pregnancy critically depends on the transformation of the human endometrium into a decidual matrix that controls embryo implantation and placenta formation, a process driven foremost by differentiation and polarization of endometrial stroma…
PurposeThyroid dysfunction and autoimmune thyroiditis are associated with fertility in women of reproductive age. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a known biomarker of ovarian function, may be affected by impaired thyroid function; however, th…
BackgroundDecidualizing human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) profoundly up-regulate 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1), the enzyme that converts inert cortisone to active cortisol. We postulated that the induction of a cor…
AIM: The rate of oocyte decline follows a biphasic pattern, characterized by acceleration between 32 and 38 years old. Ovarian reserve is also affected by external factors, including ovarian disease and iatrogenic damage. The aim of this st…
Bleeding from endometriotic implants is now an established cause of acute hemoperitoneum in pregnancy. However, the adverse impact of pelvic endometriosis on uterine function before conception may also interfere with subsequent deep placent…
PurposeTo evaluate preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of bleeding and non-bleeding ectopic pregnancy (EP) by comparison with surgical findings.MethodsEighteen suspected EP cases underwent preoperative MR imaging. We class…
OBJECTIVE: To define diagnostic criteria for juvenile cystic adenomyoma (JCA), describe the histologic features of the condition and evaluate laparoscopic excision for treating associated dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. DESIGN: Prospective l…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of complications arising during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in patients who have undergone previous abdominal surgeries and to assess predictable factors associated with complications based on…
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usefulness of MRI jelly method (jelly method). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-five patients (32.7 +/- 5 years old) with endometriosis, treated with laparoscopic surgery between January and June 2005 with preoperative…
[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1007/s12522-009-0021-1.].
The development and onset of endometriosis is associated with angiogenesis and angiogenic factors including cytokines. We analyzed intrapelvic conditions in women with endometriosis via vascular density assessment of grossly normal peritone…
PURPOSE: To assess outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) in infertile women with endometriosis with respect to their concomitant endometrioma status and surgical history in our department. METHODS: This is a retrospective case …
A pilot study was designed to analyze the vascular density of peritoneal endometriosis in 3 groups of lesions (red, black, and white) in 23 patients with peritoneal endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery using the narrow-band imag…
ObjectiveTo explore diaphragmatic lesions that are potentially associated with catamenial pneumothorax by using an advanced flexible laparoscope with wide optic angle.DesignCase report.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)A 30-year-old woma…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: A questionnaire survey of patients discharged after laparoscopic surgery was performed to investigate and analyze the recovery of activity of daily living (ADL) 1 month after surgery. DESIGN: Retrospective study (Canadian …
