OBJECTIVE: To assess the associations of time to endometriosis diagnosis after presentation for pelvic pain between patients of different ages, races, ethnicities, and body mass index (BMI) ranges. METHODS: This retrospective study was con…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting ~10% of reproductive-age individuals and contributing significantly to infertility, pain, and reduced quality of life. Since our 2020 review, new pharmacologic strate…

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic disorder that had previously not been well studied or understood. However, it is now become a more common diagnosis with long-standing implications especially for fertility. In this literature review, the…

Endometriosis is a common disease among women of reproductive age in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic localizations, primarily within the pelvic cavity. These ectopic "lesions" grow as well as migrate and invade underlying tissues.…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis involving the colon and/or rectum (CRE) is operatively managed using various methods. We aimed to determine if a more limited excision is associated with 30-day complications, symptom improvement, and/or recurrence. …

Several mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis-related infertility. For patients considering surgery, the risk of iatrogenic injury is among the most important factors in the context of fertility preservation, …

Endometriomas may contribute to infertility and are associated with diminished ovarian reserve. Surgical management can damage the ovarian cortex and further diminish ovarian reserve. Surgical therapy of endometriomas can be achieved via cy…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative outcomes of premenopausal women undergoing cystectomy or oophorectomy for ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) and other benign neoplasms. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Clinical database con…

BACKGROUND: The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1.9% among women with endometriosis compared with 1.3% among the general population. When an asymptomatic endometrioma is incidentally discovered on imaging, gynecologists must weigh the pr…

PurposeTo compare morphokinetic parameters in embryos obtained from women with and without endometriosis.MethodsWe evaluated a total of 3471 embryos resulting from 434 oocyte retrievals performed at a single academic center. One thousand se…

BACKGROUND: miR-451a can function as a tumor suppresser and has been shown to be elevated in both endometriotic lesion tissue and serum from women with endometriosis. To further explore the role of miR-451a in the pathophysiology of endomet…

Endometriosis is a disease of reproductive age women that is commonly characterized by symptoms that often negatively impact quality of life. The clinical management of endometriosis remains highly variable and mostly influenced by geograph…

Study objectiveThe objective of this video is to review relevant surgical anatomy, resection and ablation methods, and techniques to optimize management of diaphragmatic endometriosis.DesignVideo footage of surgical anatomy and surgical tec…

Endometriosis describes a condition with the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma outside the endometrial cavity that affects up to 15% of reproductive-aged women. Of women affected with endometriosis, 3.8-37% will have endomet…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is estimated to affect 10% of reproductive-aged women. The gold standard for treatment is surgery; however, surgery carries a significant morbidity and cost burden. There is an ongoing need for safe, effective me…

Endometriosis is a female disease which is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue and is dependent on estrogen for its survival in these ectopic locations. Expression of the ribosomal protein large P1 (RPLP1) is associated wi…

Reproductive surgery for proximal and distal tubal occlusion, as well as for reversal of tubal ligation, may be an alternative or an adjunct to IVF. Surgery for adenomyosis and endometriosis, including endometriomas, may be considered for t…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition in which endometrial tissue grows in ectopic locations. Survival and growth of these ectopic lesions is associated with pain and infertility. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been postulated to play a role …

Importance Endometriomas are a unique and complex representation of the classic phenotypes of endometriosis. Associated symptoms, high recurrence rate, and multimodal approach represent ongoing challenges in the management of this chronic d…

Uterine factor infertility (UFI) may affect up to 1 in 500 reproductive age women. The uterus is an essential component of achieving pregnancy and carrying a pregnancy to term successfully. There are many etiologies of UFI which may be cate…

Endometriosis is a common and challenging condition of reproductive-aged women that carries a high individual and societal cost. The many molecular dissimilarities between endometriosis lesions and eutopic endometrium create difficulties in…

CD74 is the primary receptor for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Although expression of MIF has been described in endometriotic lesions, the cellular localization and function of the MIF receptor, CD74, are poorly understood. …
