Study objectiveTo evaluate feasibility of near-infrared (NIR)-indocyanine green (ICG) imaging for bowel vascularization assessment after full-thickness bowel resection for rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE).DesignThis is a prospective, single…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effectiveness and reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative near-infrared indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) analyses as a tool for anastomotic perfusion assessment after full-thickness bowel resection for rectosigmoid…
Objectives: Up to 32% of women experience anatomic recurrence after conservative surgery for endometriomas, while pain recurs in 10–40% of cases. Long-term postoperative hormonal therapy is recommended to prevent disease recurrence. We eval…
OBJECTIVE: Systematic placement of a ureteral stent before surgery for posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) was previously recommended, but it could increase perioperative complications. We evaluate the role of preoperative urete…
INTRODUCTION: Several studies have assessed the histological co-existence of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and adenomyosis. However, the significance of this association is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of adenomyosis in …
We thank Dr Hirsch and his colleagues for their interest in our study1 and their constructive comments. We agree that the development of core outcome sets is a priority in endometriosis research. In our paper, we reported data about the imp…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of the first outpatient evaluation on anxiety levels in women with suspected endometriosis. Secondarily, we investigated which individual characteristics exerted the greatest influence on distress levels.Meth…
OBJECTIVE: To show a step-by-step technique to assess normal uterosacral ligaments (USLs) during transvaginal ultrasound. Uterosacral ligaments represent the most common location of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the posterior com…
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether it is possible to predict the risk of ureteral endometriosis (UE) using a mathematical model based on preoperative findings. DESIGN: Prospective observational study conducted between January 2017 and April 2…
Endometriosis, defined as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, presents mainly with pelvic pain and infertility. Acute abdominal pain in non-pregnant patients with endometriosis might be minimised as a t…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of ultrasound diagnosis of adenomyosis and endometriosis in young women complaining of pelvic pain and to find the symptoms and clinical characteristics associated with these …
PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic excision of endometriotic lesions in obese women.MethodsRetrospective analysis of prospectively collected data involving consecutive women scheduled for complete laparoscopic rem…
INTRODUCTION: Recto-vaginal endometriosis surgical management needing partial colpectomy is a surgically challenging condition and has been associated with a notable risk of major postoperative complications. In the present study we sought …
IntroductionRectosigmoid endometriosis and Dolichocolon can both present with a triad of chronic abdominal pain, constipation and bloating. The relationship between these two pathologies is unknown. The present study aims to determine the f…
We conducted an observational study between March 2015 and March 2018 in our academic center. Symptomatic, sexually active women with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) or isolated ovarian endometrio…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the classic ultrasound (US) signs of adenomyosis, the question mark sign and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) uterine tenderness, in the diagnosis of adenomyosis. METHODS: This was a prospect…
INTRODUCTION: The complete surgical removal of endometriosis lesions is not always feasible because some implants may be very small or hidden. The use of intraoperative near-infrared radiation (NIR) imaging after intravenous injection of in…
Introduction. The objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of different rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) vascular patterns using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and their correlation with clinicopathological da…
A prospective study with the aim to evaluate the effects of pelvic floor physiotherapy was conducted among women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and associated dyspareunia. At initial evaluation superficial and deep dyspareunia w…
OBJECTIVES: To describe the ultrasound (US) features of intraligamental myomas (IMs) using Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment group standardized terminology. METHODS: This was a retrospective monocentric study. A total of 125 conse…
ObjectiveTo describe the diagnosis and the management of hematometra in a patient with unicornuate uterus with noncommunicating functional horn (hemi uterus and rudimentary uterine hemicavity).DesignVideo case report.SettingMinimally invasi…
Study objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential usefulness of near-infrared imaging (NIR) with indocyanine green (ICG) to assess ureteral perfusion after conservative surgery (ureterolysis or nodule removal) for ureteral e…
To evaluate clinical and sonographic preoperative risk factors for ureteral involvement in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). We enrolled women with diagnosis of DIE scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. Transvaginal and transa…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To clarify the relationship of hypogastric nerves (HNs) with several pelvic anatomic landmarks and to assess any anatomic differences between the 2 sides of the pelvis, both in cadaveric and in vivo dissections. DESIGN: Pr…
ObjectiveTo describe a case of spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a woman affected by deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignTechnical video showing laparoscopic management of a spontaneous hemoperitoneum in a patient with DIE.SettingMinima…
