Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of Deep Learning (DL) machine for the detection of adenomyosis on uterine ultrasonographic images and compare it to intermediate ultrasound skilled trainees. Methods: Prospective obse…

OBJECTIVES: Previous evidence seems to support the more common presence of certain pigmentation types in women with endometriosis. The aim of this study was to assess the association of certain somatic phenotypes with specific localizations…

Background: A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been hypothesized based on a different prevalence of favorable EC histological prognostic factors. However, pooled risk of EC unfavorable his…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional outcomes of nerve-sparing surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with or without posterolateral parametrectomy. METHODS: A multicenter, observational, retrospective, cohort study was performe…

Abstract Study question What is the uterine artery arteriosclerosis prevalence in women undergoing total hysterectomy for benign diseases? Summary answer Uterine artery arteriosclerosis shows a prevalence of 70% in women undergoing total hy…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between sonographic findings at transperineal ultrasound (TPU) and chronic constipation (CC) in women with endometriosis. METHODS: An observational prospective cohort study was performed by enrolling all…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess prevalence of central sensitization (CS) and its association with demographic and clinical factors in patients with endometriosis. DESIGN: Single-center, observational, cross-sectional study. SETTING: Tertiary c…

BACKGROUND: to compare several uterine biometric parameters at transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) between adenomyosis and non-adenomyosis uteri and evaluate their role for the diagnosis of diffuse adenomyosis. METHODS: prospective observationa…

Background: A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been hypothesized based on a different prevalence of favorable EC histological prognostic factors. However, pooled risk of EC unfavorable his…

BACKGROUND: Deep endometriosis (DE) usually creates a distortion of the retroperitoneal anatomy and may infiltrate the parametria with an oncomimetic pathway similar to cervical cancer. The condition represents a severe manifestation of end…

Background and Objectives: To assess the use of near infrared radiation imaging after injection of indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) during laparoscopic treatment of benign gynecologic conditions. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the…

OBJECTIVES: Using transperineal 3D/4D ultrasound, we evaluated the prevalence of the various categories of a 4-point pelvic contraction scale among women affected by ovarian endometriosis (OE), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and hea…

Obiettivo: Valutare la fattibilità e la sicurezza dell’angiografia a fluorescenza mediante l’utilizzo endovenoso di verde di indocianina (near-infrared indocyanine green, NIR-ICG) per la valutazione della vascolarizzazione dell'area di inte…

OBJECTIVES: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is associated with chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia and pelvic floor muscle hypertonia. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFP) on the ar…

A better endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis in patients with coexistent adenomyosis has been reported. Unfortunately, it is still unclear if this better prognosis is related to a more favorable clinical profile of adenomyosis patients. We ai…

INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) has gained widespread application in several surgical specialties. Previous studies on the feasibility and safety of RALS vs standard laparoscopy (S-LPS) for rectosigmoid endometriosi…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a common finding in premenopausal women and commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract, especially the rectosigmoid tract. Small bowel involve…

INTRODUCTION: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has forced healthcare providers to reorganize their activities to protect the population from infection, postponing or suspending many medical procedures. Patients affected by chronic conditions were am…

BACKGROUND: Despite the high prevalence of adenomyosis in hysterectomy specimens of endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, the relationship between adenomyosis and EC prognosis appears unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic value of coe…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effectiveness and reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative near-infrared indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) analyses as a tool for anastomotic perfusion assessment after full-thickness bowel resection for rectosigmoid…

Objectives: Up to 32% of women experience anatomic recurrence after conservative surgery for endometriomas, while pain recurs in 10–40% of cases. Long-term postoperative hormonal therapy is recommended to prevent disease recurrence. We eval…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic placement of a ureteral stent before surgery for posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) was previously recommended, but it could increase perioperative complications. We evaluate the role of preoperative urete…

INTRODUCTION: Several studies have assessed the histological co-existence of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and adenomyosis. However, the significance of this association is still unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of adenomyosis in …
