(Partial) Loss of BAF250a (ARID1A) in rectovaginal deep-infiltrating endometriosis, endometriomas and involved pelvic sentinel lymph nodes
Molecular human reproduction ·doi:10.1093/molehr/gaw009

STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Loss of protein BAF250a (ARID1A) expression is present in women with rectovaginal deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and endometriosis affecting the pelvic sentinel lymph nodes (PSLN). STUDY FINDING: Partial loss of pro…

Immunohistochemical Investigation of Metastasis-Related Chemokines in Deep-Infiltrating Endometriosis and Compromised Pelvic Sentinel Lymph Nodes
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1177/1933719115592711

Endometriosis is a prevalent benign disease, despite sharing several similarities with malignancies, such as the possibility of lymphatic spread. In malignancies, chemokines play a sovereign role in the process of metastasis. Metastasis-rel…

Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2015.09.002

ObjectiveTo determine if ultrastructural tissue trauma occurs in the junctional zone in uteri in adenomyosis.DesignA case-control experimental study.SettingEndometriosis research center.Patient(s)Twelve uteri with adenomyosis, and 9 uteri w…

Long‐term follow‐up and recurrence rate after mesorectum‐sparing bowel resection among women with rectovaginal endometriosis
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics ·doi:10.1016/j.ijgo.2013.12.010

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the quality of a combined vaginal-abdominal surgical approach to rectovaginal endometriosis by analyzing long-term outcome and recurrence rates. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study in Berlin, Germany, women with…

article 2013
Value of diagnostic procedures in rectovaginal endometriosis
The Australian & New Zealand journal of obstetrics & gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/ajo.12108

OBJECTIVE: Rectovaginal endometriosis has the potential to infiltrate into the rectal wall. The recognition of infiltration prior to surgery is of utmost importance since only infiltrative disease should be treated by partial or complete re…

Lymphangiogenesis in deep infiltrating endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der230

BACKGROUND: In patients diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), foci of endometriosis are detected in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection and in pelvic sentinel LNs. Lymph vessels (LVs) seem to be the …

Immunohistochemical evaluation of endometriotic lesions and disseminated endometriosis-like cells in incidental lymph nodes of patients with endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.03.097

ObjectiveTo investigate the frequency of endometriotic lesions and disseminated endometriotic-like cells in a series of incidentally removed lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with endometriosis.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUniversity hospit…

Estrogen and progestogen receptor positive endometriotic lesions and disseminated cells in pelvic sentinel lymph nodes of patients with deep infiltrating rectovaginal endometriosis: a pilot study
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/den259

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) shows similarities to malignant diseases. A recent study involving DIE patients found endometriosis in mesorectal lymph nodes (LNs) after segmental bowel resection. However, it is unclear wh…

article 2008
Histopathology‐based combined surgical approach to rectovaginal endometriosis
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics ·doi:10.1016/j.ijgo.2008.06.009

OBJECTIVE: To describe a new surgical approach to rectovaginal endometriosis. Rectovaginal endometriosis can be infiltrative or superficial involving the bowel. Only infiltrative disease should be treated by intestinal resection. However, i…

Combined vaginal–laparoscopic–abdominal approach for the surgical treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis with bowel resection: a comparison of this new technique with various established approaches by laparoscopy and laparotomy
Surgical endoscopy ·doi:10.1007/s00464-007-9560-x

BackgroundA new combined vaginal-laparoscopic-abdominal approach for rectovaginal endometriosis allows intraoperative digital bowel palpation to assess bowel infiltration and prevents unnecessary bowel resections. This technique was compare…

article 2003
Histopathological extent of rectal invasion by rectovaginal endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deg251

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the microscopic extent of endometriosis in surgical en-bloc specimens of vaginal skin, rectovaginal septum, cul-de-sac, and part of the rectosigmoid bowel. METHODS: From December, 1997 to October, 2001, 50 p…
