A computerized morphometrical investigation was performed on endometriotic tissue from the peritoneum (n = 225) and rectovaginal nodules (n = 65) to compare histologically and stereologically the rectovaginal septum endometriotic nodule to …

The human endometrium shows striking structural changes during the menstrual cycle. If no pregnancy develops, the fall of plasma progesterone and estradiol induces extracellular matrix degradation leading to haemorrhagia and mucosal sheddin…

A series of 231 cases of deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum is presented. Laparoscopic procedures with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules were performed in all cases. In three cases, the bowel lumen was …

Human endometrial tissue, sampled at different periods of the reproductive cycle, expressed interstitial collagenase mRNA, protein and activity only just before and during the menstrual period. This clear-cut correlation and the inhibition …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) and/or drainage in the management of large endometriomas. DESIGN: This prospective clinical study was conducted in a parallel and randomized design. SETTING: Department of Gynecolog…

Endometriosis most commonly affects the pelvic peritoneum close to the ovaries, including the uterosacral ligaments, the ovarian fossa peritoneum, and the perito- neum of the cul-de-sac.\nThe increased diagnosis of endometriosis at laparosc…

In this chapter, we will try to classify the different indications of surgery and/or combined (medico-surgical) therapy in 1) peritoneal endometriosis 2) ovarian endometriosis 3) deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the recto-vaginal septum 4…

To evaluate the stromal vascularization of different appearances of peritoneal endometriosis, biopsies were taken from peritoneal areas with endometriosis in a series of 135 infertile women and classified as typical (black), red, or white l…

This volume provides a review of current knowledge about endometriosis. The book - which is the official proceedings of the 3rd World Congress on Endometriosis (held in Brussels in June 1992) - brings together many of the world's leading ex…

Uterine myomas and endometriosis are benign pathologies frequently encountered in women. Myomas are often associated with infertility and/or menorrhagia particularly if they are sub-mucosal. Endometriosis is diagnosed in more than 35% of in…

Les lésions typiques d’endom étriose sont des lésions noirâtres ou bleutées. De nombreux aspects atypiques de l’endométriose péritonéale ont été décrits par Jansen et Russell en 1986. Ces lésions non pigmentées, péritonéales, sont l’opacifi…

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate some biological characteristics of peritoneal endometriosis. DESIGN: A recently advanced stereographic computer technology was applied for the investigation of the three-dimensional (3-D) architectures of peritoneal…

L’endométriose péritonéale et ovarienne peut actuellement être traitée par laparoscopie grâce au laser CO2.

In order to assess adequately the effectiveness of danazol, Gestrinone, and Buserelin, a prospective nonrandomized study was initiated in 126 patients with laparoscopically confirmed ovarian endometriosis. After hormonal therapy, laparotomy…
