Postoperative intestinal obstruction is most commonly associated with adhesions but may also arise from unusual causes such as surgical staples adhering to adjacent structures. Although the use of endoscopic staplers in laparoscopic appende…

Abstract The role of the endometrium in the pathogenesis of endometriosis has assumed prominence. Abnormality of gene and protein expression, apoptosis and changes in cell cycle have been extensively studied in endometriosis. We evaluated t…

To study progesterone signaling activation, we measured changes in extracellular pH as a reflection of Na+/H+ exchange (NHE) using a cytosensor microphysiometer and assessed progesterone receptor (PR) and estrogen metabolism enzymes mRNA ex…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder defined as the presence of endometrial tissue within extra-uterine sites. The primary symptoms are infertility and chronic pain. The inflammatory environment and aberrant immune responses in…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the activation and expression of the progesterone receptor in primary culture of endometrial cells, after exposure to estradiol and progesterone. DESIGN: In vitro experimental study for analysis of microphysiometry a…

ObjectiveTo demonstrate the laparoscopic neuroanatomy of the autonomic nerves of the pelvis using the laparoscopic neuronavigation technique, as well as the technique for a nerve-sparing radical endometriosis surgery.DesignStep-by-step expl…

Introduction and hypothesisEndometriosis involving the sacral plexus is still poorly understood or neglected by many surgeons. Looking at that scenario, we have designed this educational video to explain and describe the symptoms suggestive…

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a more versatile rectosigmoid nodulectomy technique using a linear stapler.MethodsCase series.Settingtertiary care (reference center for endometriosis surge…

Aim of the video / Introduction Pelvic congestion syndrome is a well-known cause of cyclic pelvic pain (Ganeshan et al., Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 30(6):1105–11, 2007). What is much less well known is that dilated or malformed branches o…

Endometriosis infiltrating the sacral nerve roots is a rarely reported manifestation of the disease. The objectives of this article are to report such a case and to describe the surgical technique for laparoscopic decompression of sacral ne…

In this retrospective observational study involving 176 patients and 271 biopsies, the histologic differentiation in superficial endometriosis, deeply infiltrating endometriosis, and ovarian endometriomas was evaluated according to a previo…

This case report describes use of a porcine small intestinal submucosa patch to prevent vaginal stiffness and retraction after extensive vaginal resection of an endometriosis nodule. A 32-year-old nulliparous woman was referred for surgical…

OBJETIVO: avaliar o padrão de diferenciação histológica em lesões de peritônio superficial e lesões de endometriose pélvica profunda (EPP), localizadas em ligamentos úteros-sacros, intestino (reto e sigmóide) e septo retovaginal. MÉTODOS: e…
