STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic rectosigmoid resection for bowel endometriosis (RSE), reporting surgical and short-term postoperative outcomes in a consecutive large series of patients. DESIGN: A retrospective …
BackgroundAdenomyosis may induce pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding or bulk symptoms. If hormonal treatment proves ineffective or contraindicated, hysterectomy may be necessary. For patients who desire to conserve the uterus despite sev…
BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic segmental bowel resection, disc excision and rectal shaving are described as surgical options for the treatment of bowel endometriosis, but the gold standard has not yet established. The aim of the study is to inves…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate ultrasonographic findings as a first-line imaging tool to indirectly predict the presence of parametrial endometriosis (PE) in women with suspected deep endometriosis (DE) undergoing surgery. DESIGN: Retrospect…
Background The recurrence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after its surgical excision is a big problem: postoperative treatment is crucial.Objective To compare two postoperative treatments: Dienogest and GnRH agonists.Design Prospe…
BackgroundDiaphragmatic endometriosis (DE) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition. Most of the times it is asymptomatic and due to the low accuracy of diagnostic tests, it is almost always detected during surgery for pelvic endometriosi…
IntroductionTransvaginal ultrasound is fundamental for the mapping of endometriosis, and the imaging criteria have been clearly described for different organs study. However, no specific ultrasonographic signs of tubal endometriosis have be…
Over the last twenty years, segmental resection (SR) has been the technique most frequently used to treat bowel endometriosis. Nowadays, it is most commonly performed by laparoscopy; however, there is evidence that it can be safely performe…
ObjectiveTo study possible associations between endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).DesignRetrospective cohort analysis over 14 consecutive years, based on medical records and insurance coding in a tertiary care endometriosi…
BackgroundBowel endometriosis is the most common pattern of Deep Endometriosis (DE). Arising from the posterior portion of the cervix and spreading to the recto-vaginal septum, utero-sacral and parametrial ligaments could lead to a distorti…
BACKGROUND: Bladder endometriosis (BE) is the most common external site of deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affecting the urinary tract. Frequently associated with other DIE lesions, it can be strongly related to a ventral spread of ad…
BACKGROUND: Diaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare presentation of endometriosis and no standardized technique for surgical treatment is available so far. We aim to verify and describe feasibility, safety and post-operative outcomes of patie…
ObjectiveTo show technical highlights of a nerve-sparing laparoscopic eradication of deep infiltrating endometriosis with rectal and parametrial resection according to the Negrar method.DesignStepwise demonstration of the technique with nar…
Recurrence of endometriosis after conservative surgery is not an uncommon finding. There is no uniformity, however, on what the term 'recurrence' means. Recurrence is variously defined in the literature as the relapse of pain, clinical or i…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic ureteroneocystostomy in patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with ureteral, parametrial, and bowel involvement. DESIGN: Prospective study (Canadian Task Force clas…
Study objectiveTo study the application of a fast-track care protocol in colorectal surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is an infrequent but not rare condition that often needs intestinal surgery and imposes a h…
Endometriosis has clearly three distinct clinical presentations and deep endometriosis, especially compromising the rectosigmoid is probably the most concerning one for both patients and surgeons. Currently, with the available tools, it is …
BackgroundV-betaLH is a common genetic variant of LH caused by two polymorphic base changes in the beta subunit gene, altering the amino acid sequence (Trp8Arg and Ile15Thr). In a previous-preliminary trial performed in women undergoing IVF…
BackgroundEfforts to improve approaches to the so called "parametrium" with minimally invasive and less dangerous techniques have led to a better study of the anatomic location and composition of that region. Nevertheless, many misconceptio…
BackgroundDiaphragmatic endometriosis is a rare condition that may cause invalidating epigastric or thoracic pain and catamenial pneumothorax. During the past decades, laparoscopy has been proposed as an optimal tool for diagnosis and surgi…
