ObjectivesTo compare the effectiveness of in vitro fertilisation with single embryo transfer or in vitro fertilisation in a modified natural cycle with that of intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in terms of a…
Performing intrauterine insemination (IUI) in moderate-to-severe endometriosis patients is not implemented in international guidelines, as only limited data exist on treatment efficacy and safety. This retrospective study examined the effic…
A prospective observational cohort study was performed to examine patient satisfaction after one Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment cycle in moderate to severe endometriosis patients. From May 2012 till September 2013, 25 pati…
Long-term pituitary down-regulation with a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for 3–6 months prior to IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) improves clinical pregnancy rates in endometriosis patients. However, some discuss…
PurposeTo generate novel, objective variables that resemble embryo quality and relate them to ongoing implantation, using multilevel imaging of single-transferred embryos.MethodsRetrospective analysis of multilevel images of 659 day 3 singl…
PURPOSE: To evaluate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging morphologic- and signal intensity abnormalities of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the bowel wall and to assess its value in predicting depth and extent of bowel wall infiltratio…
Anaphylactic reactions to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists are exceedingly rare, but if they occur, they can be life threatening. This case describes a 33-year-old patient with endometriosis who developed an acute allergic rea…
ObjectiveTo investigate the success rate of proximal tubal occlusion with Essure(®) devices in subfertile women with unilateral or bilateral hydrosalpinx and to observe the results of subsequent treatment with IVF-ET and/or frozen embryo tr…
ObjectiveBoth the intraperitoneal seeding and the uterine-vesical extension theory have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of bladder endometriosis. The aim of this study was to describe MR imaging findings of bladder endometriosis a…
OBJECTIVE: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is defined as endometrial tissue that is superficial to the peritoneum. AWE is often difficult to diagnose, mimicking a broad spectrum of diseases. The aim of this study was to describe the appe…
PURPOSE: To assess the value of magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the evaluation of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective single-center study, DWI was added to the standard…

BACKGROUND: In the Netherlands, 30% of subfertile women are overweight or obese, and at present there is no agreement on fertility care for them. Data from observational and small intervention studies suggest that reduction of weight will i…
AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate how many patients with endometriosis have concomitant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and/or constipation according to the Rome III criteria. Furthermore, the value of an additional gastroenterologi…
INTRODUCTION: Intestinal involvement is reported in up to 12% of women with endometriosis. Complete large bowel obstruction is a rare complication of intestinal endometriosis. It is estimated to occur in less than 1% of the cases. OBJECTIVE…
Endometriosis, a common cause of morbidity, affects 10% of women of reproductive age. In this review we focus on the new developments in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment options, reviewing the literature published about this enigmatic …
A 52-year-old woman with known endometriosis was treated with a levonorgestrel-containing IUD for irregular vaginal blood loss. Two weeks later she was admitted with signs ofpelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and was treated with antibiotics…
BACKGROUND: We questioned whether a laparoscopy should be performed after a normal hysterosalpingography before starting intrauterine inseminations (IUI) in order to detect further pelvic pathology and whether a postponed procedure after si…
ObjectiveTo develop a prognostic model for the outcome of IUI.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingFour fertility centers in The Netherlands.Patient(s)Couples of whom the female partners had a regular cycle and who had been treated with …
ObjectiveTo evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic laparoscopy after normal hysterosalpingography (HSG) and before intrauterine insemination (IUI) with respect to laparoscopic findings leading to a change of treatment decisions in couples with…
Diagnostic laparoscopy is normally the standard procedure performed as the final test in the infertility work up before progressing to infertility treatment. Recently, there has been a growing tendency to bypass diagnostic laparoscopy after…
The aim of this study was to investigate cycle dependent changes of serum CA 125 and CA 15-3 concentrations during spontaneous ovulatory cycles. Twenty apparently healthy women with spontaneous menstrual cycles attending our infertility cli…
