BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) and repeated pregnancy loss remain major challenges in assisted reproductive technology, often without identifiable causes despite high-quality embryo transfers. Emerging evidence suggests that…

OBJECTIVE: To study the value of hysteroscopic cytoreductive surgery for adenomyotic lesions to improve reproductive outcomes. We describe a feasible and novel minimal invasive stepwise approach, which did not result in postoperative adhesi…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal Hydro Laparoscopy (THL) is known as a minimal invasive procedure allowing endoscopic exploration of the female pelvis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the possibilities of the THL as a tool for early diagnosis and treatment…

Adenomyosis is a disease defined by histopathology, mostly of hysterectomy specimens, and classification is challenged by the disagreement of the histologic definition. With the introduction of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and two- and …

Evidence-based data for endometriosis management are limited. Experiments are excluded without adequate animal models. Data are limited to symptomatic women and occasional observations. Hormonal medical therapy cannot be blinded if recognis…

Your article 'Endometrial preservation during resection of type II and type III submucosal fibroids' (Vorona and Saridogan, 2022) and the discussion on the healing of the endometrium, was read with interest.However, hysteroscopic resection …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the added value of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) in the investigation of the infertile patient. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study, based on records from 01/09/2006 to 30/12/2019 wa…

Background and Objective: to study the natural history of endometriosis. Materials and methods: the analysis of all women (n=2086) undergoing laparoscopy for pelvic pain and endometriosis between 1988 and 2011 at University Hospital Gasthui…

The mainstay of endometrioma management, when treatment is required, is surgical. Although laparoscopy is considered to be the gold standard for endometriosis surgery, there is no clarity on the preferred laparoscopic technique, which may d…

A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among members of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), with the aim of increasing awareness of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of tubal disease as an alternative to in-vitr…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder where endometrial glands and stroma are pathologically demonstrated within the uterine myometrium. The pathogenesis involves sex steroid hormone abnormalities, inflammation, fibrosis and …

The availability of non-invasive diagnostic tests is an important factor in the renewed interest in adenomyosis, as the disease can now be more accurately mapped in the uterus without a need for hysterectomy. An agreed system for classifyin…

PurposeTo evaluate reproductive outcomes of artificial insemination and IVF with donor sperm (AID or IVF-D) for male-factor couples with a history of unsuccessful ICSI attempt.MethodsThis retrospective cohort includes couples with severe ma…

Formation of the ovarian endometrioma consists of implantation, invagination of the ovarian cortex, and adhesion formation. Progression is characterized by repeated injury and repair with degenerative changes. Already with a partially depri…

Modern hysteroscopy represents a copernical revolution for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine pathology. Traditionally hysteroscopy was performed in a conventional operation room under general anaesthesia (in-patient hysteroscopy). Rece…

Increasing evidence indicates that early onset endometriosis (EOE), starting around menarche or early adolescence, may have an origin different from the adult variant, originating from neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB). This implies seeding o…

Where histology used the presence of glands and/or stroma in the myometrium as pathognomonic for adenomyosis, imaging uses the appearance of the myometrium, the presence of striations, related to the presence of endometrial tissue within th…

The pathophysiology of (deep) endometriosis is still unclear. As originally suggested by Cullen, change the definition "deeper than 5 mm" to "adenomyosis externa." With the discovery of the old European literature on uterine bleeding in 5%-…

Management of ovarian endometrioma is a matter of debate between those advocating early treatment and those believing that cysts less than 3 cm in diameter should not be submitted to surgery. To explore a new approach to its management capa…

Accumulating evidence indicates that adolescent endometriosis is common and often severe. Here we explore the possibility that seeding of naive endometrial progenitor cells into the pelvic cavity early in life, that is, at the time of neona…

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of ovarian endometriomas is commonly achieved through laparoscopic surgery and this can be effective in eliminating the disease, although a majority of recent trials documented an adverse effect of surgery on ovarian…

What is the recommended diagnostic work-up of female genital anomalies according to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)/European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE) system? The ESHRE/ESGE consensus for …
