Uterine Adenomyosis is a benign condition characterized by the presence of endometrium-like epithelial and stromal tissue in the myometrium. Several medical treatments have been proposed, but still, no guidelines directing the management of…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the intraoperative use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging reconstruction for a complex case of multiple myomectomy assigned to robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. DESIGN: Stepwise demonstration of the technique wi…

Objective The aim of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability for components of the Visual-Numeric Endometriosis Scoring System (VNESS). VNESS is a novel system for describing surgical findings in each compartment of the pelvis in a…

PurposeAdenomyosis is a poorly understood entity with no unified treatment protocol. It has been thought to only affect the quality of life of older women, but growing evidence is highlighting the increased frequency of adenomyosis in young…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a negative impact on fertility. The Enzian classification provides a precise description of deep pelvic endometriotic lesions, especially in the retroperitoneal area, from p…

OBJECTIVE: To propose a stepwise approach to robotic diffuse adenomyosis resection with double flap and concomitant abdominal cerclage. DESIGN: A narrated video footage of the surgical approach of a clinical case with extensive adenomyosis…

OBJECTIVE: To present different approaches used in the surgical management of diaphragmatic endometriosis using the Davinci Robotic system. DESIGN: A video article presenting patient positioning, port placement, and surgical techniques use…

PurposeEndometriomas are a common cause of infertility necessitating assisted reproductive technology (ART). It had been previously thought that surgical removal of the endometriomas prior to ART would improve reproductive outcomes, but rec…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with a prevalence of six to ten percent in women of childbearing age. As long as the aetiology of endometriosis is not fully understood and the disease has no definitive treatment, an examina…

This study addressed the improvement in the quality of life of patients 2 years after minimally invasive surgery for painful deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), evaluated with EHP-5 (Endometriosis Health Profile-5) scores and the intensi…

The lymph node status of patients with endometrial cancer is known to be a crucial determinant for the prognosis of the disease. It also provides the indication for further adjuvant treatment. The staging of endometrial cancer by surgery ha…

OBJECTIVES: To assess whether hysterectomy in patients with endometriosis is associated with higher proportion of complications compared with patients without, and whether route of hysterectomy affects this outcome. STUDY DESIGN: This is a …

Successful resection of all visible lesions may effectively treat endometriosis-related infertility and pelvic pain. Minimally invasive surgery provides significant advantages, with lower rates of surgical complications such as surgical tra…

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic the use of telehealth has burgeoned. Numerous surgical specialties have already adopted the use of virtual postoperative visits, but there is data lacking in both robotics and gynecology. In this sin…

Study objectiveWe sought to identify the variables independently associated with intra/postoperative blood transfusion at the time of myomectomy. We further hoped to develop an accurate prediction model using preoperative variables to categ…

Endometriosis negatively impacts the lives of countless women around the world. When medical management fails to improve the quality of life for women with either previously confirmed or suspected endometriosis often a decision must be made…

PURPOSE: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become a novel treatment in various aspects of medicine including orthopedics, cardiothoracic surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, and diabetic wound healing. PRP is now starting to becom…

Abstract: Endometriosis is an all too common benign inflammatory condition that impacts the lives of countless women around the world. Not only is there typically a delay in diagnosis of this devastating condition, but women are often misma…
