Endometriosis is a complicated and growing health concern, affecting approximately 2–3% of individuals assigned female at birth worldwide1, 2. Advances in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow assessment of disease, to some …

Pelvic tumors, especially those in difficult locations such as tumors in the rectouterine pouch in contact with the sigmoid colon, pose therapeutic approach difficulties due to the increased risk of complications, such as intestinal perfora…

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to demonstrate how to identify and preserve the inferior hypogastric nerve (IHN) during gynecological laparoscopic surgeries, in cases where the nerve is not infiltrated by pathological processes such as d…

Assessment of ovarian reserve is important in patients with fertility intention. Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) serum levels are a useful ovarian reserve marker. Endometriosis is a benign disease with three phenotypes: superficial peritoneal …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate existing questionnaires on predictive models for endometriosis. These symptom-based models have the potential to serve as screening tools for adult women to detect endometriosis. D…

Large ovarian endometriomas may cause severe pressure symptoms and often require surgical management. The laparoscopic approach, although challenging, is feasible and safe when performed by surgeons with advanced minimal access skills, prov…

Deep endometriosis (DE) is the most severe form of endometriosis and is commonly associated with infertility. Surgical treatment of DE appears to increase chances of spontaneous conception in appropriately selected patients wishing to conce…

Minimal/mild endometriosis (MME) is independently associated with reduced fecundity rates. In this review article, we discuss the role of laparoscopic surgery in enhancing fertility outcomes of patients with MME. Laparoscopic management of …

Accurate diagnosis and assessment of endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound scan (TVS) can be challenging. We performed an online survey of specialist gynecologists who perform TVS on a regular basis regarding their views as well as clini…

Most abdominal masses in the pediatric population derive from the ovaries. Ovarian masses can occur in all ages, although their incidence, clinical presentation and histological distribution vary among different age groups. Children and ado…

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian endometrioma is a common subtype of endometriosis with a prevalence between 17 and 44%. The reported average recurrence of endometrioma after surgical management is 21.5% after 2 years and 40-50% after 5 years. The aim…

In women with deep endometriosis, the spontaneous fertility rate might range from 2 to 10%. The optimal management of these women is still an area of debate. Therefore, this review aims to explore the literature on the impact of deep endome…

BACKGROUND: There is a growing body of human, animal and in vitro studies on vitamin D (vit D) substitution in endometriosis. The aim of this systematic review is to critically appraise and qualitatively synthesize the results of the availa…

We report a case of large hemoperitoneum caused by a ruptured endometrioma in a 25-year-old Virgo woman. Hemoperitoneum caused by ruptured endometrioma is a rare entity. The diagnosis should be given consideration when a patient with known …

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease, causing symptoms such as pelvic pain and infertility. Accurate diagnosis and assessment are often challenging. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are…

The mainstay of endometrioma management, when treatment is required, is surgical. Although laparoscopy is considered to be the gold standard for endometriosis surgery, there is no clarity on the preferred laparoscopic technique, which may d…

A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among members of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), with the aim of increasing awareness of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of tubal disease as an alternative to in-vitr…

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the seventh most frequent cancer in European women. Many theories have been postulated regarding the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. Risk factors are not well defined, with the exception of low parity and oral c…
