OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of spontaneous endometriosis over a 32-month period in baboons with initially normal pelves. METHODS: In this observational longitudinal study, which was performed at the Institute of Primate Research, …
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate a clinical examination during menstruation and plasma CA-125 concentrations to diagnose deep endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective study in 61 women scheduled for a laparoscopy, a retrospective study in 140 women with d…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate how long an ovulation stigma remains visible as determined by serial laparoscopies performed during the luteal phase in baboons. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: Sixteen female baboons with a normal pelvis (n = 6) and with e…
The complications during and following endoscopic excision of deep endometriosis were analysed. The data of 225 excisions performed in 212 women had been collected prospectively into a database immediately following surgery and during the f…
In women with endometriosis, changes in peripheral blood and peritoneal fluid white blood cell (WBC) populations have been reported, but it is known whether these alterations are casually related to or a consequence of endometriosis. The pu…
This study was done to test the hypothesis that the incidence and recurrence of retrograde menstruation is higher in baboons with spontaneous endometriosis than in those without. A total of 399 laparoscopies was performed on 113 female babo…
OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that fertility is reduced in baboons with endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective controlled follow-up study. SETTING: Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi Kenya. SUBJECTS: Seventy-one baboons, including 3…
BACKGROUND: It is not known whether stress affects the prevalence of endometriosis in women. Baboons with spontaneous endometriosis may be interesting models to study the human disease. For baboons, living in captivity is a period of chroni…
This review covers the literature on CA125 and endometriosis; data on CA125 and oncology are not discussed. In normal women, plasma concentrations of CA125 are increased slightly at ovulation and significantly during menstruation. Marked in…
This study was performed to test the hypothesis that anti-endometrial, lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity and natural killer (NK) activity are reduced in baboons with endometriosis when compared to animals with a normal pelvis. Lymphocyte-med…
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that immunosuppression increases the development and progression of endometriosis in baboons. DESIGN: Experimental controlled study. SETTING: Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya. PARTICIPANTS: …
OBJECTIVE: We recently described a decreased lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity to autologous endometrium and to natural killer-sensitive targets in women with endometriosis. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the def…
Deeply infiltrating endometriosis can be defined as endometriosis infiltrating deeper than 5 mm under the peritoneal surface. Type I is a conical lesion suggested to be caused by infiltration; type II is mainly caused by retraction of the b…

PROBLEM: We investigated the lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood (PB) and peritoneal fluid (PF) of women with and without endometriosis to evaluate if the decreased natural killer (NK)-mediated cytotoxicity in women with endometri…
Journal Article Is mild endometriosis a disease?: Is mild endometriosis a condition occurring intermittently in all women? Get access Philippe R. Koninckx Philippe R. Koninckx Division of Gynaecologic Endoscopic Surgery, Department of Obste…
Personality characteristics, psychoendocrinological stress responses and course and outcome of treatment were investigated in 40 women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). In addition to classification by the major causes of infertility…
