OBJECTIVE: To evaluate variation in ovarian preservation and excision of extra-ovarian endometriosis during endometrioma surgery across gynecologic subspecialties. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: One tertiary academic medical…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis involves pathologic transplantation of endometrial-like tissue from the internal lining of the uterus to a location outside of the uterus. Presently, treatment regimens center around symptom management and sequel…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition that profoundly affects those who suffer from pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, resulting in negative impacts on quality of life and associated socioeconomic burdens. The esti…

OBJECTIVE: No consensus currently exists regarding patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) instruments. This structured review was conducted to identify the PROMs used by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated surgical treatment…

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting approximately 190 million individuals and up to 50% of women with infertility globally. The disease is characterized by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the uterine corpus, which cause…

Endometriosis is a prevalent and potentially debilitating condition that mostly affects individuals of reproductive age, and often has a substantial diagnostic delay. US is usually the first-line imaging modality used when patients report c…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis involving the colon and/or rectum (CRE) is operatively managed using various methods. We aimed to determine if a more limited excision is associated with 30-day complications, symptom improvement, and/or recurrence. …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative outcomes of premenopausal women undergoing cystectomy or oophorectomy for ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) and other benign neoplasms. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Clinical database con…

BACKGROUND: The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1.9% among women with endometriosis compared with 1.3% among the general population. When an asymptomatic endometrioma is incidentally discovered on imaging, gynecologists must weigh the pr…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the Large Uterus Classification System (LUCS) ability to predict surgical outcomes and complications in total laparoscopic hysterectomies (TLHs) for large uteri. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: …

Abstract We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools…

We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools, including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools such as…

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of the literature on patients with extrapelvic deep endometriosis. DATA SOURCES: A thorough search of the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION: …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the literature regarding the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in reducing adenomyotic lesions, patients' pain and bleeding symptoms, and the impact on patients' quality of life. …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To validate the algorithm for selective bowel surgery based on preoperative imaging by comparing the perioperative outcomes of patients who undergo each type of bowel surgery for deep bowel disease, and secondarily to evalu…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate bowel function (changes in stool caliber, sensation of incomplete evacuation, stooling frequency, and rectal bleeding) and urinary function (dysuria and retention) after segmental resection in patients with bowe…

In this article we propose a structured imaging report applied to ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with suspected endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic, multifocal disease, which can lead to pain or subfertility. Treatments are tailored toward the therapeutic goals of the individual patient; either to improve a specific pain symptom or optimize fertility. Managem…

Because surgery for endometriosis can involve severe complications, it is important to determine if the patient's quality of life (QOL) is indeed improved after surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis, when appropriate, was conducted…
