Objectives: The peritoneal cavity is a cavity outside the bloodstream, with a specific hormonal, immunological and microbiological micro-environment distinct from plasma. The mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal cavity react within secon…
Oxidised regenerated cellulose was introduced 60 years ago to control diffuse bleeding from large surfaces. Although considered safe and effective, foreign body reactions can mimic suspicious masses in several organs. We describe the third …
PURPOSE: The progression of deep endometriosis (DE) in women of reproductive age is highly variable. This study aimed to analyze the sonomorphological changes of rectal endometriosis over long periods of time and the influence of hormonal t…
Adenomyosis is a disease defined by histopathology, mostly of hysterectomy specimens, and classification is challenged by the disagreement of the histologic definition. With the introduction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and two- and …
Without an animal model and a non-invasive diagnosis, the pathophysiology of endometriosis is unclear and information is limited to symptomatic women. Lesions are biochemically variable. Medical therapy cannot be blinded and extensive surge…
ObjectiveThe objective of this video is to demonstrate different clinical presentations of peritoneal defects (peritoneal retraction pockets) and their anatomic relationships with the pelvic innervation, justifying the occurrence of some ne…
The peritoneal and intrauterine cavities are lined by fragile membranes with a high-wound healing capacity, e.g. repairing the endometrium in its cyclical "injury and scar-free repair process" during menstruation. However, peritoneal and in…
The pathophysiology of (deep) endometriosis is still unclear. As originally suggested by Cullen, change the definition "deeper than 5 mm" to "adenomyosis externa." With the discovery of the old European literature on uterine bleeding in 5%-…
OBJECTIVE: To review bowel complications caused by deep endometriosis during pregnancy or in vitro fertilization (IVF). DESIGN: Three case reports and a systematic review. SETTING: A tertiary referral center for deep endometriosis surgery…
BACKGROUND: deep endometriosis involving the bowel often is treated by segmental bowel resection. In a recent review of over 10000 segmental bowel resections for indications other than endometriosis, low rectum resections, in particular, we…
A 31-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with right lower quadrant pain. The pain had started three days earlier with increasing intensity postprandially, when walking and in right decubitus position. Completion of her last…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, classified as the presence of endometrial cells in ectopic sites, is a debilitating disease causing pain and infertility in approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. It is associated with the aberrant expres…
OBJECTIVES: To report the short- and medium-term complications of laparoscopic laser excisional surgery for rectovaginal endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: University teaching hospital, UK. POPULATION: A total of 12…
ObjectiveTo identify consistent genetic changes in endometriosis samples to determine whether endometriosis lesions are true neoplasms.DesignWe analyzed ovarian endometriosis lesions for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 12 loci of potential …
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis. The review aims to compare the effectiveness of any laparoscopic procedure versus any other treatment modality, includ…
We assessed the value of hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (HyCoSy) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as alternatives to laparoscopy and dye insufflation with or without hysteroscopy in the investigation of infertility. A total of 19 w…
Although endometriosis is a frequent finding in infertile patients, the cause of their infertility is far from clear. The spontaneous cure rate of infertility in patients with endometriosis has never been assessed accurately, so that report…
