Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition in which endometrial-like tissue grows outside of the uterus, and the mechanisms of its pathogenesis are not fully understood. The anatomical and physiological parallels between pigs and hum…

Endometriosis, characterized by uterine-like tissue growth outside the uterus, is a complex disorder with significant clinical implications. This review explores how body composition - both low body mass index (BMI) and obesity - modulates …

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common metabolic problem in women of reproductive age that can lead to infertility and other metabolic disorders. Recent evidence indicates that inflammation might be one of the contributing f…

To investigate the impact on the ovarian reserve after minimally invasive ovarian cystectomy using two platforms, the Da Vinci robotic system (Xi and SP) and the laparoscopic system. Patients underwent laparoscopic or Da Vinci robotic (Xi o…

Endometriosis affects a significant portion of women during their reproductive years, causing substantial pain and impacting their quality of life. Telehealth services have emerged as a promising avenue for enhancing endometriosis care, esp…

Background/Objectives: Our objective was to evaluate changes in the management of symptomatic fibroids after establishing a multidisciplinary fibroid center with minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) and interventional radiology (IR…

Although emerging evidence revealed that the gut microbiome served as a tool and as biomarkers for predicting and detecting specific cancer or illness, it is yet unknown if vaginal microbiome-derived bacterial markers can be used as a predi…

Adenomyosis is defined as the presence of ectopic nests of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Adenomyosis is a common cause of dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain but is often underdiagnosed. Despite its pre…

BackgroundFew studies have compared the surgical results of single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC) with those of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative clinical effica…

In the healthy endometrium, progesterone and estrogen signaling coordinate in a tightly regulated, dynamic interplay to drive a normal menstrual cycle and promote an embryo-receptive state to allow implantation during the window of receptiv…

This study assessed the functional role of WNT genes and the association between WNT signalling cascades and fibrosis in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) patients. Twenty-five patients (3 males, 22 females; mean age 59.7…
