Background and Objective: to study the natural history of endometriosis. Materials and methods: the analysis of all women (n=2086) undergoing laparoscopy for pelvic pain and endometriosis between 1988 and 2011 at University Hospital Gasthui…
Statistical significance is used to analyse research findings and is together with biased free trials the cornerstone of evidence based medicine. However traditional statistics are based on the assumption that the population investigated is…
STUDY QUESTION: What is the prevalence of laparoscopically nonvisualized palpable satellite bowel nodules at or near the planned stapler site in women undergoing segmental bowel resection for endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Overall, 13 (25.5…

BACKGROUND: The genetic-epigenetic theory postulates that endometriosis is triggered by a cumulative set of genetic-epigenetic (GE) incidents. Pelvic and upper genital tract infection might induce GE incidents and thus play a role in the pa…
Müllerianosis may be defined as an organoid structure of embryonic origin; a choristoma composed of müllerian rests--normal endometrium, normal endosalpinx, and normal endocervix--singly or in combination, incorporated within other normal o…
Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in the incidence and severity of endometriosis in the rhesus monkey. Studies also suggest that immune mechanism…
Humans and animals are exposed daily to a complex mixture of polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs). Previous work has shown that exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is associated with a dose-dependent increase in …
Endometriosis generally causes pain that is cyclic and generally responds to medication and/or surgery. When endometriosis is found coincidentally, it may need no treatment because many women have endometriosis as a self-limited disease. In…
The absolute risk of endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary is very small. When endometriosis is left behind at the time of hysterectomy, there may be increased risk and difficulties in hormone replacement management.
OBJECTIVE: To correlate Chlamydia trachomatis immunoglobulin gamma (IgG) titers with psammoma bodies, dystrophic peritoneal calcification, degree of calcification, adhesions, and hydrosalpinges. DESIGN: This is a prospective single-blinded…
Endometriosis is a reproductive disease characterized by the growth of endometrial cells at sites outside the uterus. This disease is a serious disorder associated with chronic pain and infertility, which may be present in 6 million women i…
ABSTRACT Endometriosis may result in pain and/or infertility in some patients, while others may remain asymptomatic. The disease appears to progress and regress somewhat unpredictably, making it difficult to determine the appropriate treatm…
Although epidemiology can suggest populations at risk for endometriosis, a single form of therapy with consistent results for all patients is lacking. It is without question that the advancement of conservative therapy for endometriosis-ass…
Reported symptoms in patients with endometriosis have shown poor correlation with the extent of disease at surgery. Recent data have suggested that signs and symptoms may correlate with depth and volume of individual implants. In this study…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence and occurrence of subtypes of deep endometriosis. DESIGN: Deep endometriotic lesions (> 5 mm) were retrospectively analyzed, using our data base and slides taken systematically during surgery. SETTING: …
Apparently conflicting results have been reported regarding the incidence, and even the existence, of endometriosis in visually normal peritoneum. The present study was undertaken in view of the fact that the presence and incidence of nonvi…
