OBJECTIVE: To critically evaluate the evidence linking endometriosis to ovarian cancer, with particular focus on endometrioid and clear cell histologic subtypes, and to inform risk stratification and patient counseling. METHODS: A systemat…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of urinary symptoms in women with parametrial endometriosis before and after surgery. DATA SOURCES: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus through March 2025, w…
OBJECTIVE: The AAGL 2021 classification assesses intraoperative surgical complexity using a four-stage scale based on lesion size and location. Despite its potential utility, no data currently assess its correlation with perioperative compl…
Ovarian endometriomas (OEMs), cystic formations within the ovaries, are a significant manifestation of endometriosis and present in 20-40% of affected women. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, wit…
BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to create a novel technique using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) for minimal access simulation training on cadavers in deep endometriosis excision. OBJECTIVES: A step-by-step video demonstration of using n-BCA in…
BackgroundThe inferior hypogastric plexus (IHP) is a crucial structure for female continence and sexual function. A nerve-sparing approach should be pursued to reduce the risk of pelvic plexus damage during retroperitoneal pelvic surgery.Ob…
This literature review summarises the investigation into using Indocyanine Green (ICG) in the surgical management of endometriosis, focusing mainly on its application in Deep Endometriosis (DE). The study reviews the development, fluorescen…
Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is a rare uterine disease characterized by the malignant transformation of the ectopic endometrium within the adenomyotic foci. Clinicopathological and survival data are mostly limited to c…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for endometriosis/adenomyosis in terms of operative outcomes and complications. DESIGN: Retrospective multicentric cohort study. SETTING: Eight …
Leiomyomas are the most common uterine benign tumor, and their malignant counterpart leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare. Despite this, a preoperative diagnosis could be useful for safe surgical minimally invasive management. At present, som…
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…
BACKGROUND: Defecation symptoms related to intestinal deep infiltrative endometriosis are caused by anatomical and functional disorders and are probably linked to the course of the disease and surgical treatment. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim …
Background and objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the benefit of training with virtual reality simulation. The secondary objective was to describe the short-term skill acquisition obtained by simulation training and to determ…
PurposeTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic excision of endometriotic lesions in obese women.MethodsRetrospective analysis of prospectively collected data involving consecutive women scheduled for complete laparoscopic rem…
INTRODUCTION: Recto-vaginal endometriosis surgical management needing partial colpectomy is a surgically challenging condition and has been associated with a notable risk of major postoperative complications. In the present study we sought …
We conducted an observational study between March 2015 and March 2018 in our academic center. Symptomatic, sexually active women with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) or isolated ovarian endometrio…
INTRODUCTION: The complete surgical removal of endometriosis lesions is not always feasible because some implants may be very small or hidden. The use of intraoperative near-infrared radiation (NIR) imaging after intravenous injection of in…
Introduction. The objective of the study was to evaluate the presence of different rectosigmoid endometriosis (RSE) vascular patterns using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) angiography and their correlation with clinicopathological da…
ObjectiveTo describe the diagnosis and the management of hematometra in a patient with unicornuate uterus with noncommunicating functional horn (hemi uterus and rudimentary uterine hemicavity).DesignVideo case report.SettingMinimally invasi…
Study objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility, safety, and potential usefulness of near-infrared imaging (NIR) with indocyanine green (ICG) to assess ureteral perfusion after conservative surgery (ureterolysis or nodule removal) for ureteral e…
Intestinal deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most frequent extragenital localisation and its traditional surgical treatment is segmental resection of the affected tract. The need for implementing alternative techniques in the treatment…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To clarify the relationship of hypogastric nerves (HNs) with several pelvic anatomic landmarks and to assess any anatomic differences between the 2 sides of the pelvis, both in cadaveric and in vivo dissections. DESIGN: Pr…
