OBJECTIVE: To harmonize standard operating procedures (SOPs) and standardize the recording of associated data for collection, processing, and storage of human tissues relevant to endometriosis. DESIGN: An international collaboration involv…

OBJECTIVE: To harmonize the collection of nonsurgical clinical and epidemiologic data relevant to endometriosis research, allowing large-scale collaboration. DESIGN: An international collaboration involving 34 clinical/academic centers and…

OBJECTIVE: To harmonize standard operating procedures (SOPs) and standardize the recording of associated data for collection, processing, and storage of fluid biospecimens relevant to endometriosis. DESIGN: An international collaboration i…

Management of advanced endometriosis frequently requires a multidisciplinary team approach and international guidelines suggest treatment in centres of expertise. Due to variability of published outcome data, prospective data collection and…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common condition which causes pain and reduced fertility. Treatment can be difficult, especially for severe disease, and an accurate preoperative assessment would greatly help in the managment of these patient…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the reproducibility of assessment of severity of pelvic endometriosis by transvaginal sonography (TVS). METHODS: This was a prospective observational study conducted from August 2006 to July 2009 in two academic depar…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign condition, which is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue in ectopic sites outside the uterus. Laparoscopic excision of the disease is frequently carried out for the treatment of…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the ability of preoperative transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) scanning to assess the severity of pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: Consecutive women with clinically suspected or proven pelvic …

This paper aims to determine the correlation between the diagnosis of endometriosis on the basis of the visualisation at laparoscopy and the histological diagnosis. Histological confirmation rates vary in the current literature. We retrospe…

We conducted a prospective study to evaluate the incidence and the surgical factors determining the development of postoperative voiding dysfunction following this surgery. The presence of rectovaginal dissection was significantly associate…

OBJECTIVE: To examine the short-term surgical outcomes in women undergoing fertility-sparing laparoscopic excision of deeply infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary referral center for trea…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of interleukin-6 (IL-6) on ciliary activity within the human fallopian tube in vitro. DESIGN: An experimental laboratory-based study. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): Fallopian tube …

The objective was to develop recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis and its associated symptoms. A working group was convened comprised of practising gynaecologists and experts in evidence-based medicine from Europ…

BACKGROUND: The Fallopian tube undergoes well-recognized changes during the ovarian cycle. Ciliary beat frequency (CBF) increases during the secretory phase of the cycle. The stimulus is unknown, although CBF is known to be hormone responsi…

BACKGROUND: The cyclical changes in ciliary structure and motion within the human Fallopian tube are well documented. Previous investigators have studied ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in relation to menstrual cycle and anatomical site, but w…

Endometriosis and infertility are known to be associated, but it is unclear whether endometriosis causes infertility. We used contrast analogue enhancement to study the effect of peritoneal fluid from women with early stage endometriosis on…

Using a method that detects variations in light intensity we have studied the effect of ovarian steroids on human Fallopian tube epithelial ciliary beat frequency in vitro. We have found that baseline ciliary beat frequency averages between…

Using an antibody (6313/G2) directed against a specific sequence in the extracellular domain of the type 1 angiotensin II receptor (AT1), we demonstrated the presence of angiotensin II (AII) receptors in human fallopian tube. Immunoperoxida…
