Introduction: Hysteroscopy is a key gynecological procedure for diagnosing and treating endometrial conditions. While hysteroscopy is often performed in office settings without sedation, patients frequently report significant pain during th…

Hysteroscopy has truly revolutionized the field of diagnostic and operative gynecology. It is presently regarded as the gold standard method for both the diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine diseases and it has fundamentally altered the …

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of the Laparoscopic Organ Suspension (OS) sec. Angioni, an innovative approach to transient OS in laparoscopic gynecological procedures. Recognizing the ne…

BACKGROUND: To date hysteroscopy is the gold standard technique for the evaluation and management of intrauterine pathologies. The cervical canal represents the access route to the uterine cavity. The presence of cervical stenosis often mak…

Background: Adenomyosis and congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) can compromise reproductive potential and may coexist in the same patient, especially in cases of infertility. This review (CRD42022382850) aims to evaluate the published cases…

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that are essential for the regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression during tissue development and differentiation. They are involved in the regulation of manifold metabolic and hormona…

The pharmacologic preparation of the endometrium before hysteroscopy may be achieved with the use of various drugs. This systematic review aims to summarize the available evidence regarding the use of desogestrel for endometrial preparation…

Intrauterine pathologies are common in postmenopausal women and clinicians must identify signs and symptoms accurately to provide the adequate diagnosis and treatment. The quality of life (QoL) and sexuality of women are important outcomes …
