BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that structured preoperative education and close postoperative monitoring improve surgical outcomes. Digital health solutions may facilitate the large-scale implementation of perioperative optimization …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis affects 5-10% of women during reproductive years, with a 20-30% incidence among those with infertility. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) affects 10-15% of women of childbearing age and 50% of infertile women…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation in the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-eight women treated for symptomatic AWE nodules with…

A fusion method was recently proposed for ultrasound and magnetic resonance images for endometriosis diagnosis. This method combined the advantages of each modality, i.e., the good contrast and signal to noise ratio of the MR image and the …

This paper investigates a general framework for the registration of 3D magnetic resonance (MR) and 2D ultrasound (US) images. This framework is divided into a rigid slice-to-volume 3D-2D MR/US registration and a 2D-2D US/MRI fusion algorith…

OBJECTIVE: To provide French guidelines for the management of women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). DESIGN: A consensus committee of 26 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the beginning of …

INTRODUCTION: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the performances of MRI and rectal endoscopy sonography (RES) in predicting the depth of bowel wall infiltration by deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIAL AND METHOD: …

INTRODUCTION: The study aimed to evaluate the quality of life and associated factors among women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy (BO) before the age of 45 for the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHO…

PURPOSE: To assess the quality of care following the establishment of a multidisciplinary care pathway for patient operated on for deep pelvic endometriosis with digestive impairment. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective monocentric study…

OBJECTIVE: To study bone mineral density (BMD) in women with and without pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) who underwent early bilateral oophorectomy (BO). METHODS: A case-control study was performed in 83 women who underwent ea…

This paper introduces a new fusion method for magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) images, which aims at combining the advantages of each modality, i.e., good contrast and signal to noise ratio for the MR image and good spatial resol…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the surgical learning curve impact the spontaneous pregnancy rate in infertile patients undergoing removal of deep infiltrating endometriosis MATERIAL AND METHODS: Single center retrospective study including…

The localization of endometriotic disease in the hepatic pedicle has never been reported to date. We report the first case of a 67-year-old postmenopausal patient having presented an endometriotic lesion in the hepatic pedicle. A surgical b…
