OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the presence and type of ultrasound markers of adenomyosis, as defined by MUSA criteria, predict IVF/ICSI outcomes, specifically live birth and pregnancy loss rates. METHODS: This single-center prospective co…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of letrozole (LT) versus clomiphene citrate (CC) for ovulation induction (OI) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with emphasis on phenotypic variation and hyperandrogenism severity. METHODS: I…

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum NGAL, MMP-9 and the MMP-9/NGAL ratio, which are inflammatory markers used for the diagnosis and follow-up of some diseases, can be used as diagnostic and follow-up markers for …

PURPOSE: To investigate the histopathological association between chronic endometritis (CE) and adenomyosis, focusing on basal endometrial alterations and the potential involvement of tissue injury and repair (TIAR) mechanisms. METHODS: Th…

BACKGROUND: The optimal management strategy for large (≥ 4 cm) endometriomas prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) among three approaches: no intervention,…

Objective: The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between adenomyosis and chronic endometritis and to discuss its possible effects on pathogenesis. Design: Prospective analysis of previous patients’ pathology specimens Setting:…

OBJECTIVE: Endometrioma surgery is associated with a reduction in ovarian reserve. However, removal of an endometrioma may increase the likelihood of a spontaneous conception. The objective of this study was to assess the pre-operative and …

The present retrospective cohort study analysed data of couples with unexplained infertility who underwent two to three intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. The inclusion criteria were age 20-40 years, failure to conceive for at least tw…

This study aims to assess the impact of endometrioma on embryo quality and cycle outcome in patients who undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment due to diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Retrospective case-control study was …

ObjectiveIn this study we aimed to assess anorexigenic peptide levels in patients with or without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their effects on assisted reproductive treatment (ART) outcomes.MethodsA prospective case-control study w…

OBJECTIVE: The present study aims to assess the success of controlled ovarian stimulation in intrauterine insemination cycles stimulated by recombinant-FSH and Clomiphene citrate for either mono- or bi-follicular development. METHODS: We as…

ObjectiveThe feasibility of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger in normal responders is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to compare the number of mature oocytes, the number of good-quality embryos, an…

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of laparoscopic removal of endometrioma on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcome. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a university hospital between January 2014 and December …

Objective(s)To assess the association between the ultrasonographic presence of adenomyosis and recurrent miscarriage (RM).Study designA prospective matched case-control study was conducted between March 2018 and December 2018 at Ankara Univ…

ObjectiveTo compare the prevalence of various metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors and insulin resistance between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with or without hyperandrogenism.Material and methodsThis is a retrospective cr…

Endometriosis is classically defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in outside the uterine cavity. As the definition suggests that confirming the ectopic endometrial stroma and glands in ectopic location histopathologicall…

PURPOSE: To compare the effect of hemostatic matrix (HM) and electrosurgical bipolar coagulation (EBC) on ovarian reserve in patients undergoing endometrioma surgery. METHODS: Thirty patients with single ovarian endometrioma ≥4 cm were ran…

ObjectiveTo determine the potential effect of the ultrashort gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist/GnRH antagonist protocol versus the microdose GnRH agonist protocol in poor responders undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (I…

PurposeTo investigate the effects of short-term low-dose aspirin and/or steroid use on implantation and pregnancy rates in nonselected intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles.MethodsTwo-hundred patients undergoing ICSI for their firs…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To report the frequency and spectrum of histologically proved diseases of the appendix in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for chronic pelvic pain in conjunction with endometriosis in a tertiary referral center. DE…

Hepatic endometriosis is rare. Only 15 cases have been reported in the literature. All 15 were treated by laparotomy. We report two additional cases of hepatic endometriosis managed for the first time laparoscopically. Endometriosis is a pr…

ObjectiveTo report our experience in patients with previous IVF failures who conceived after laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis.DesignRetrospective case series.SettingTertiary center IVF and endoscopy programs.Patient(s)Infertility pat…

Many will agree that the use of laparoscopy to diagnose and potientially treat endometriosis in patients who suffer from infertility has been superseded by IVF and sometimes oocyte donation, especially in older patients. The findings of our…
