In 15-30% of couples with infertility, no abnormalities are found after the initial diagnostic work-up. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of endometriosis in patients with unexplained infertility undergoing diagnostic …

Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of chronic endometritis (CE) in infertile women, its impact on reproductive outcomes, and the accuracy of hysteroscopy as a screening tool for CE. DESIGN: This was a pro…

Fallopian tube prolapse is a rare complication post surgery, nearly always presenting in the vaginal wall after hysterectomy. Occurrence is relatively rare, with less than 100 cases being described in literature. We report the case of a 36 …

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a difference in recurrence rate of endometrioma(s) after cystectomy versus CO2 laser vaporization of the cyst wall? DESIGN: This single-centre retrospective study included 270 patients undergoing laparoscopic su…

We report a rare case of an endometriotic lung cyst in a 47-year woman with recurrent catamenial hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography (CT) obtained outside the menstruation in October 2019 revealed a cystic lesion (2.5 cm) located in the r…

Abstract Study question Is there a difference in recurrence rate of endometrioma(s) after cystectomy versus CO2-laser vaporization of the cyst wall? Summary answer Similar rates of imaging based recurrence or need for reintervention for end…

Abstract Study question Is endometriosis related to worse outcome of assisted reproductive techniques (ART)? Summary answer Cumulative incidence of live birth in patients with and without endometriosis at laparoscopy was similar, although d…

STUDY QUESTION: Can the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) be estimated accurately before surgery? SUMMARY ANSWER: The EFI can be estimated accurately based on mere clinical/ultrasound information, with some improvement after adding data f…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is associated with pain and infertility. Surgical interventions aim to remove visible areas of endometriosis and restore the anatomy. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic surgery in th…
