Quality of Sex Life after Laparoscopic Treatment of Rectovaginal Endometriosis: Results of a Pilot Study
·doi:10.1016/j.jmig.2010.08.487
article 2008
Combined laparoscopic surgery and pentoxifylline therapy for treatment of endometriosis-associated infertility: a preliminary trial
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den167

BACKGROUND: Surgical treatment has modest efficacy for the treatment of infertility associated with early-stage endometriosis. Immunomodulation with pentoxifylline is considered as a new strategy potentially useful in treating endometriosis…

Immunological factors in endometriosis-associated reproductive failure: studies in fertile and infertile women with and without endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.8.1794

Immunopathophysiological mechanisms in endometriosis-associated reproductive failure were studied in appropriate populations: infertile and fertile women with and without endometriosis. The incidence of sera positive for any of the autoanti…

Pentoxifylline versus placebo in the treatment of infertility associated with minimal or mild endometriosis: a pilot randomized clinical trial
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/12.9.2046

The present study is the first prospective randomized controlled trial of the effect of pentoxifylline on future fertility in infertile women with asymptomatic minimal or mild endometriosis. After completion of a basic infertility workup an…

Transferrin Receptor (CD71) Expression in Peritoneal Macrophages from Fertile and Infertile Women With and Without Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/j.1600-0897.1997.tb00320.x

PROBLEM: Hyperactivated macrophages are implicated in the pathophysiology of endometriosis-associated infertility. This study investigates transferrin receptor expression (CD71) as a marker of hyperactivity in peritoneal macrophages of infe…

Visible and non-visible endometriosis at laparoscopy in fertile and infertile women and in patients with chronic pelvic pain: a prospective study
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/11.2.387

In 100 consecutive patients who were undergoing laparoscopy for infertility (group 1, n = 52), chronic pelvic pain (group 2, n = 18) or tubal sterilization (group 3, n = 30, asymptomatic fertile women), peritoneal biopsies were taken from a…
