Endometriosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) share similar pathogenic mechanisms. Hence, this systematic review evaluates the association between endometriosis and lifetime ASCVD risk including co-prevalence with dyslipi…
Endometriosis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are both essentially diseases of inflammation. It is well established that inflammation is the leading mechanism in the initiation and maintenance of vascular injury and in th…
Controversy exists regarding surgical management of endometriomas in infertile women before in vitro fertilization (IVF) because growing evidence indicates that surgery may impair the ovarian response. The objective of the present systemati…
Among the variety of treatment options to improve reproductive outcomes for infertile women with adenomyosis (AD), uterine-conserving surgery has shown varying success. Hence, we conducted a systematic review around the topic of fertility-s…

Study objectivesTo evaluate long-term effects of operative hysteroscopy on the development of intrauterine adhesions (IUA), and to determine whether hypoestrogenism has a modulatory role in preventing IUA.DesignProspective, randomized study…
Study objectiveTo investigate the effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog pretreatment on endometrial Na+, K+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) pump function and peripheral blood vasopressin levels, and their role in fluid a…
This prospective controlled follow-up study was designed to examine the effects of adnexal torsion on long-term ovarian histology and radical scavenger (FRS) activity, and subsequent viability following the detorsion of twisted ischaemic ad…
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of tibolone on hypoestrogenic vasomotor symptoms and bone parameters in patients treated with goserelin acetate.DesignProspective, randomized placebo controlled double-blind study.SettingHuman…
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are widely administered to treat endometriosis, but generally are not prescribed for more than 6 months since they are associated with vasomotor symptoms and bone loss. A GnRH agonist and stero…
This prospective cohort study was carried out in a university-based infertility clinic to determine the profile of insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) in patients with mild endometriosis and no obvious mechanical factor con…
The syndrome of chronic pelvic pain without an obvious pathology has been described as pelvic congestion (Taylor) syndrome. It is frequently associated with continuous bilateral lower abdominal pain and dyspareunia. Pelvic examination revea…
We evaluated the effects of low-dose oral contraceptive (Desolett) in the management of pelvic pain, and its sensitivity in differentiating organic disorders such as endometriosis, in 96 women who were followed for at least 4 to 6 months. T…
The management of bladder injuries at laparoscopy is controversial. Some endoscopists believe in mandatory open repair, whereas others recommend laparoscopic cystotomy repair. We performed laparoscopy to treat two women with bladder injury,…
