ObjectiveTo report the 20-year experience in ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and ovarian tissue transplantation (OTT) of the Bologna clinical center (Bologna, Italy).DesignRetrospective cohort study.Patients1026 pediatrics and women a…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: A very high percentage of patients with severe pelvic endometriosis develop adhesions after laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the role of ovarian suspension performed during surgery for sever…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic and progressive condition of women of reproductive age. It is strongly associated with a significant reduction of quality of life (QOL) and sexual function. AIMS: This study aims to objectively evalu…
PURPOSE: To quantify the mRNA levels of MMP-3, MMP-9, VEGF and Survivin in peripheral blood and the serum levels of CA-125 and Ca19-9 in women with and without endometriosis and to investigate the performance of these markers to differentia…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) in the preoperative detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the posterior compartment. METHODS: This was a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surgical outcome and long-term follow-up of conservative laparoscopic management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). DESIGN: Prospective study. SETTING: Tertiary-care university hospital. PATIENT(S): Women with l…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endometriosis is an invasive disease. Its diagnosis depends on laparoscopy, which is traumatic and associated with potential complications. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid, reliable, and less invasive diagnosti…
ObjectiveTo present a case of complicated deep infiltrating endometriosis managed by a multidisciplinary minimally invasive approach.DesignCase report.SettingTertiary care university hospital.PatientA 32-year-old woman with deep infiltratin…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy and the potential limitations of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the preoperative evaluation of women with clinically suspected bladder endometriosis and to describe the sonographic features of the path…
ObjectiveTo evaluate postoperative long-term cyclic and continuous administration of combined oral contraceptive (OC) pills in preventing endometriosis-related pain recurrence.DesignProspective, randomized, controlled trial.SettingTertiary …
BACKGROUND: Objective evaluation of pelvic pain symptoms using a standard pain questionnaire is essential to assessing the treatment of endometriosis and related pain. AIM: To evaluate the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ) as a multi-dimensio…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis recurrence after conservative surgery is not infrequent. Variable regimens of hormonal therapy have been proposed as adjuvant post-operative measures for prophylaxis against recurrence. Among these, the combined or…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between anatomic locations and diameter of endometriotic lesions with severity of perimenstrual dyschezia (pain with defecation) as a possible location-indicating pain symptom for posterior deep…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To discuss our clinical and surgical experience with 30 cases of ureteral endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital. PATIENTS: Rec…
ObjectiveTo evaluate long-term cyclic and continuous administration of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) in preventing ovarian endometrioma recurrence after laparoscopic cystectomy.DesignProspective, randomized, controlled trial.SettingTertiar…
A case of intrapartum, complete, low-posterior wall, transverse uterine rupture, complicated by uterine atony and treated by emergency hysterectomy in a primigravida with uterine adenomyosis who delivered vaginally at 37 weeks plus 5 days o…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between frequency/severity of dysuria with anatomic location and diameter of bladder endometriotic lesions. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force cla…
The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of treating severely symptomatic women with deep infiltrating intestinal endometriosis by laparoscopic segmental rectosigmoid resection. Detailed intraoperative and postoperative rec…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article reviews human oocyte cryopreservation, one of the most stimulating challenges of assisted reproduction technology. Since the first steps in assisted reproduction technology, researchers have pursued this goal…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Involvement of the bladder is seen in only 1% to 2% of patients with endometriosis. The diagnosis of vesical endometriosis is difficult to formulate, and it should be confirmed by cystoscopy with biopsy. However, thi…
