STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the probability of postoperative pregnancy in infertile women with ovarian endometrioma larger than 3 cm in diameter, managed by either ablation using plasma energy or cystectomy. DESIGN: A multicentric case-con…
OBJECTIVE: Ovarian endometrioma ablation using plasma energy appears to be a valuable alternative to cystectomy, because it could spare underlying ovarian parenchyma resulting in high spontaneous and overall pregnancy rates. After initial p…
OBJECTIVE: To report our three surgical approaches in the management of diaphragmatic endometriosis. DESIGN: Video article presenting laparoscopic surgical techniques, with and without robotic assistance. SETTING: University hospital. PA…
