Objective: To evaluate the incidence of oophorectomy during planned removal of benign-appearing ovarian endometrioma in reproductive-age women and identify risk factors for intraoperative conversion. Design: Retrospective case-control study…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that is characterized by pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Despite varied treatment modalities, a high proportion of individuals experience debilitating symptoms and develop comorbid pain con…

Background: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) has a significant impact on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Endometriosis is a common cause of CPP. Data is lacking on long-term HRQoL outcomes in patients with endometriosis-associate…

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…

INTRODUCTION: Few studies have examined the differing natural histories and quality of life in women with endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain (EACPP) versus other chronic pelvic pain (OCPP) in the years following surgery. In this s…

Infertility affects 30% to 50% of women with endometriosis. Women with endometriosis are at risk of decreased ovarian reserve, both because of the pathophysiology of the disease and iatrogenic injury resulting from surgical intervention. Fe…

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…

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…

Endometriosis is commonly associated with dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. When medical therapy fails, surgery is often recommended; unfortunately, endometriosis surgery can adversely impact fertility and ovarian reserve …
