Study Objective: To estimate the effect of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).Design: Retrospective study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).Setting: Tertiary care university hospi…

OBJECTIVE: To critically evaluate the evidence linking endometriosis to ovarian cancer, with particular focus on endometrioid and clear cell histologic subtypes, and to inform risk stratification and patient counseling. METHODS: A systemat…

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is increasingly performed using modular platforms such as the Hugo™ roboticassisted surgery (RAS) system, but optimal or personalised docking strategies remain undefined. OBJECTIVES: To establish e…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of urinary symptoms in women with parametrial endometriosis before and after surgery. DATA SOURCES: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus through March 2025, w…

BACKGROUND: Accurate and standardised characterisation of endometriosis extent is essential for patient counselling regarding pain and fertility outcomes, surgical planning, multidisciplinary communication, and clinical research. The Enzian…

OBJECTIVE: The AAGL 2021 classification assesses intraoperative surgical complexity using a four-stage scale based on lesion size and location. Despite its potential utility, no data currently assess its correlation with perioperative compl…

Ovarian endometriomas (OEMs), cystic formations within the ovaries, are a significant manifestation of endometriosis and present in 20-40% of affected women. Despite extensive research, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear, wit…

Background: Endometriosis, a chronic disease affects a substantial number of women worldwide and frequently necessitates surgery. The limitations of traditional laparoscopy, primarily due to the reliance on white-light imaging, might result…

BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to create a novel technique using n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) for minimal access simulation training on cadavers in deep endometriosis excision. OBJECTIVES: A step-by-step video demonstration of using n-BCA in…

This literature review summarises the investigation into using Indocyanine Green (ICG) in the surgical management of endometriosis, focusing mainly on its application in Deep Endometriosis (DE). The study reviews the development, fluorescen…

Endometrial cancer arising in adenomyosis (EC-AIA) is a rare uterine disease characterized by the malignant transformation of the ectopic endometrium within the adenomyotic foci. Clinicopathological and survival data are mostly limited to c…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the postoperative morbidity of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) for endometriosis/adenomyosis in terms of operative outcomes and complications. DESIGN: Retrospective multicentric cohort study. SETTING: Eight …

For century’s surgical education based on a learning-by-doing apprenticeship model using a high patient volume to teach the residency step by step certain surgical skills under various levels of supervision. Mistakes and costs resulting fro…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a common finding in premenopausal women and commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract, especially the rectosigmoid tract. Small bowel involve…

BACKGROUND: Defecation symptoms related to intestinal deep infiltrative endometriosis are caused by anatomical and functional disorders and are probably linked to the course of the disease and surgical treatment. OBJECTIVE: The primary aim…

Background and objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the benefit of training with virtual reality simulation. The secondary objective was to describe the short-term skill acquisition obtained by simulation training and to determ…

Endometriosis, defined as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, presents mainly with pelvic pain and infertility. Acute abdominal pain in non-pregnant patients with endometriosis might be minimised as a t…

BACKGROUND: The current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is holding the world in its grip. Epidemiologists have shown that the mortality risks are higher when the health care system is subjected to pressure from COVID-19. It is there…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic excision of endometriotic lesions in obese women. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data involving consecutive women scheduled for complete laparoscop…

INTRODUCTION: Recto-vaginal endometriosis surgical management needing partial colpectomy is a surgically challenging condition and has been associated with a notable risk of major postoperative complications. In the present study we sought …

We conducted an observational study between March 2015 and March 2018 in our academic center. Symptomatic, sexually active women with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) or isolated ovarian endometrio…
