Background: The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI), is a crucial validated surgical tool used for predicting fertility outcomes in women with endometriosis. This study aims to assess the concordance between a preoperative clinical and inst…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with pelvic pain, infertility, and increased cardiovascular risk. Recent studies suggest a possible role of aldosterone as a pro-inflammatory hormone in the pathogenesis of the dise…
OBJECTIVES: A meta-analysis, with a head-to-head approach, was carried out to compare the three most common techniques for a deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) diagnosis. We focused on: transvaginal-sonography (TVS), magnetic-resonance imaging…
Bladder endometriosis is a specific form of endometriosis characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in the detrusor muscle. Such disease may involve different sites of the bladder, most frequently the base and the dome,…
PURPOSE: Restoring the anatomical relationship and preserving the function of pelvic organs represent the ideal outcome of surgical intervention in patients suffering from endometriosis-related infertility. The aim of the study was to compa…
Electrical surgical devices may determine tissue damage through lateral thermal spread and activation of inflammatory processes. Several tissue effects are associated with the use of different surgical instruments. The aim of the present st…
It was with great interest that we read the manuscript by Reid et al.1, published recently in the Journal, which proposed a new modified transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) technique (office gel sonovaginography, SVG) with the intention of improv…
OBJECTIVE: To collate all available evidence with respect to ultrasound techniques in the management of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) and compare the sensitivity and specificity of each to determine the most suitable site-specific method.…
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess obstetric outcomes and symptoms during and after pregnancy in women submitted to surgical treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis. Methods We evaluated 123 women who underwent surgery for severe d…
A prospective study to compare sonovaginography and nuclear magnetic resonance in the diagnosis of posterior deep pelvic endometriosis. All women underwent sonovaginography and nuclear magnetic resonance. Laparoscopic surgery and histologic…
Background Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is considered a symptom but also a syndrome with misunderstood pathophysiology and treatment options ranging from conservative management to opioid analgesia and surgical intervention. The aim of this st…
Operative laparoscopy is the gold standard in the treatment of endometriotic ovarian cysts. Excisional surgery is the best technique to prevent recurrences and improve symptoms but it may result in ovarian reserve damage due to the removal …
The aim of the study was to investigate the possible overexpression of estrogen (ERs) and progesterone (PRs) receptors both in EPs glandular and stromal cells in postmenopausal women with levothyroxine-treated hypothyroidism in comparison t…
OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical evaluation, transvaginal sonography (TVS), saline contrast sonovaginography (SCSV) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of posterior deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). METHODS: Women suspected o…
To assess the most accurate diagnostic tool in diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). A longitudinal prospective study between May 2005 and January 2011, in which 54 women suspected to have DIE on the basis of clinical symptoms, …
Purpose: To verify if different endometrial lesions determine the diagnostic symptom panel for a specific symptom. Methods: We recruited 537 women with endometriosis who underwent laparoscopic surgery. Data on patient characteristics, sever…
