Uterine contractility has emerged as a potential key element in the orchestration of female reproductive functions, with specific motility patterns seemingly aligning with hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. These dynamic …

PurposeThis study aimed to develop international expert consensus statements on chronic endometritis (CE) through a comprehensive literature review of existing evidence and a modified Delphi approach.MethodsTen panelists of the Japan Societ…

The ambiguity of current recommendations on the use of oocyte cryopreservation in patients with endometriosis reflects the lack of comprehensive studies evaluating its efficacy. This review seeks to summarize all available data on the outco…

BACKGROUND: Embryo implantation and early survival in a synchronized, receptive endometrium are critical for establishing a successful pregnancy, but uterine pathologies can present challenges to reproductive success by significantly impact…

ObjectivesIn our previous article, we proposed the novel four-handed technique (FHT) for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), which, according to us, is more helpful compared to the traditional TLH route. The objectives of the study were …

IMPORTANCE: Although multiple mechanisms have been proposed to explain the infertility related to endometriosis, there are no conclusive data on the association of endometriosis with endometrial receptivity. The oocyte donation model in ass…

Malacoplakia is an uncommon disease characterized by chronic and granulomatous inflammation, which rarely involves the female genital tract. We describe the ecographic and histological evolution of the first case of a patient developing end…

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the attitude of obstetricians/gynecologists toward indicating an elective cesarean delivery in pregnant patients with a previous myomectomy.Materials and methodsWeb-based multiple-choice …

Background: In recent times, different novel GnRH-antagonist protocols with various combinations of gonadotropins and other molecules (e.g., aromatase inhibitors, selective estrogen receptor modulators) have been proposed for expected norma…

Cornual pregnancy (CP) is a subtype of ectopic pregnancy that is implanted in the interstitial segment of the fallopian tube which is defined as the tubal section crossing uterine muscular tissue. Widely recognized risk factors for CP are e…

Uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is a rare but high-risk cause of uterine bleeding. The clinical management of this condition is challenging, as the ultrasound picture can sometimes be unambiguously interpreted. Moreover, in the p…

Background and aim of the workBRCA1/2 are tumour-suppressor genes involved in DNA homologous recombination and ovarian cancer development.  The study evaluated the risk of tumor cancer in women presenting the BRCA mutations.MethodsRisk-redu…

ObjectivesThe occurrence of a uterocutaneous fistula (UCF) as an uncommon and severe complication of caesarean section (CS). The aim of this study was to describe two cases of UCFs after CS and to discuss about symptoms, diagnosis and treat…

(1) Background: Uterine rupture during pregnancy is a serious obstetric complication with a high incidence of maternal morbidity and mortality. (2) Methods: The present case is a rare event of a uterine rupture occurring in an unscarred ute…

Sonovaginography is a way of assessing gynaecological diseases that can be described as cheap yet accurate and non-invasive. It consists of distention of the vagina with ultrasound gel or saline solution while performing transvaginal sonogr…

We report two cases of endometriosis of the round ligament in a 37 and 26 - years old women, with a lump in their right groin and catamenial pain referred to plastic surgery department. MRI showed in both cases nodular lesion in the right i…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the infectious nature of chronic endometritis (CE) in an inductive way by comparing the results of germ-oriented antibiotic therapy vs. no treatment in women with CE. DESIGN: Retrospective, nonconcurrent case-cont…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) and endometrial polyps (EPs) are common conditions in reproductive age women. CE is an infectious disorder of the endometrium characterized by signs of chronic inflammation at hysteroscopic and histologic…

Chronic inflammatory processes affecting the endometrium, as encountered in endometriosis, adenomyosis, and chronic endometritis, alter endometrial receptivity. These disorders are associated with early pregnancy losses and possibly recurre…

Abstract Purpose Chronic endometritis (CE) is a frequent hysteroscopic and histological finding which affects embryo transfer implantation during IVF-ICSI cycles. In particular, CE impairs proper decidualization and, subsequently, implantat…

Endometriosis - a disease causing pain and infertility - is encountered in nearly 50% of infertile women. While medical treatment is effective on pain and recurrence of symptoms after surgical excision, it is of no help for treating inferti…

The endometrium is a challenging site for metagenomic analysis due to difficulties in obtaining uncontaminated samples and the limited abundance of the bacterial population. Indeed, solid correlations between endometrial physio-pathologic c…

OBJECTIVE: To develop a consensus on the diagnostic criteria for chronic endometritis (CE) at hysteroscopy (HSC), and to evaluate these proposed criteria in a randomized-controlled observer study. DESIGN: Systematic review of studies evalu…
