OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between sonographic findings at transperineal ultrasound (TPU) and chronic constipation (CC) in women with endometriosis. METHODS: An observational prospective cohort study was performed by enrolling all…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess prevalence of central sensitization (CS) and its association with demographic and clinical factors in patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: Single-center, observational, cross-sectional study. SETTING: Tertiary c…

BACKGROUND: to compare several uterine biometric parameters at transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) between adenomyosis and non-adenomyosis uteri and evaluate their role for the diagnosis of diffuse adenomyosis. METHODS: prospective observationa…

Background: A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been hypothesized based on a different prevalence of favorable EC histological prognostic factors. However, pooled risk of EC unfavorable his…

Data about the oncological outcomes in women with borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) undergoing uterine-sparing surgery without ovarian preservation are poor. We aimed to assess the oncological outcomes in women with BOT undergoing uterine-spar…

OBJECTIVES: Our purpose was to evaluate women's awareness of endometriosis and their ability to identify fake news about endometriosis on the internet. The second outcome was to identify those characteristics which make women more likely to…

Background and Objectives: To assess the use of near infrared radiation imaging after injection of indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) during laparoscopic treatment of benign gynecologic conditions. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the…

OBJECTIVES: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is associated with chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and pelvic floor muscle hypertonia. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFP) on the ar…

A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been reported. Unfortunately, it is still unclear if this better prognosis is related to a more favorable clinical profile of adenomyosis patients. We ai…

Study objectiveTo assess the accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP) in predicting early postoperative complications in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic shaving for rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignA single-cen…

Decidualization of endometriotic ovarian cysts was first described at the beginning of the 20th century. This phenomenon occurs in response to the altered hormonal environment during pregnancy. Specifically, progesterone induces hypertrophy…

INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced healthcare providers to reorganize their activities to protect the population from infection, postponing or suspending many medical procedures. Patients affected by chronic conditions were am…

BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence of adenomyosis in hysterectomy specimens of endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, the relationship between adenomyosis and EC prognosis appears unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic value of coe…

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…

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…

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 …

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…

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…

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…
