INTRODUCTION: This study sought to assess the impact of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) prescribed by gynecologists in routine practice on pain, pelvic sensitization, quality of life, and catastrophization scores in patie…

Pelvic pain has a significant impact on quality of life, especially when associated with benign pelvic diseases, such as endometriosis or chronic conditions leading to persistent discomfort. A substantial proportion of women are affected in…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to evaluate the second medical opinions (SMOs) clinical value for endometriosis diagnostic strategy and patient profiles, using nationwide data from a specialized French physician network dedicated to SM…

BACKGROUND: The discovery of a saliva-based micro–ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for endometriosis in 2022 opened up new perspectives for early and noninvasive diagnosis of the disease. The 109-miRNA saliva signature is the product of m…

OBJECTIVE: To better understand the physiology of pain in pelvic pain pathological conditions, such as endometriosis, in which alterations of uterine innervation have been highlighted, we performed an anatomic and functional mapping of the …

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a negative impact on fertility. The Enzian classification provides a precise description of deep pelvic endometriotic lesions, especially in the retroperitoneal area, from p…

OBJECTIVE: To compare first-line surgery with first-line assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in infertile women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) without colorectal involvement. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective comparative cohort …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at assessing perioperative results of robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: This retrospective French multicentric study included all patients with DI…

Uterine factor infertility (UFI) is defined as a condition resulting from either a complete lack of a uterus or a non-functioning uterus due to many causes. The exact prevalence of UFI is currently unknown, while treatments to achieve pregn…
