OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the impact of ENDO-GYM Program, which combined Yoga practice and pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFP), on women with ultrasound and/or post-operative histological diagnosis of endometriosis pain resistant …

Objectives: To evaluate whether ultrasound-based #Enzian classification predicts pain profiles and response to hormonal therapy in patients with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting 10% of reproductive-ag…

Adenomyosis is the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrial wall of the uterus. This condition is related to a diffusely enlarged uterus with reactive hyperplasia and fibrosis of the surrounding myometrial smooth musc…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic disease that can compromise fertility in up to 30-50% of affected patients, and it is estimated that patients affected by endometriosis represent about 10% of patients undergoing ART treatments. The hy…

BACKGROUND: Patients with endometriosis are thought to have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and estimates suggest that 6.2% of them were infected with SARS-CoV-2. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study enrolling 284 women at …

BackgroundThe Versius surgical system (CMR Surgical, Cambridge, UK) is a new robotic platform introduced after the original patent of the DaVinci system expired; it has already been applied in different fields, including gynaecology. Unlike…

BACKGROUND: The proliferation of several robotic platforms presents an opportunity to pinpoint the most suitable system for specific procedures and patient profiles. This study aims to explore differences in complications and functional out…

BACKGROUND: It is a common thought that endometriosis and its related pain symptoms could improve during pregnancy. However, endometriosis was shown to affect the regular development of pregnancy and delivery outcomes. Several adverse event…

BACKGROUND: Surgical removal of deep infiltrating endometriosis is frequently associated with improvement in symptoms. However, because of the complex pathogenesis of pain in endometriosis that includes central sensitization and myofascial …

Abstract Purpose: Endometriosis affects 10% of the female population in reproductive age. Although a greater awareness of the condition and constant progress in understanding its natural history, its treatment remain challenging. When it co…

OBJECTIVE: To study how adenomyosis changes during pregnancy and to possibly correlate these changes to maternal and fetal outcomes. METHODS: Retrospective exploratory cohort study including 254 women with a pre-conceptional/first-trimeste…

Abstract Objective: Complete eradication of parametrial nodules of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE) is associated with a high risk of iatrogenic nerves damage and pelvic organs dysfunction. The aim of this study is to evaluate via vali…

Leiomyomas are the most common uterine benign tumor, and their malignant counterpart leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare. Despite this, a preoperative diagnosis could be useful for safe surgical minimally invasive management. At present, som…

INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) has gained widespread application in several surgical specialties. Previous studies on the feasibility and safety of RALS vs standard laparoscopy (S-LPS) for rectosigmoid endometriosi…

The robotic platform is becoming a multidisciplinary tool, versatile, and suitable for multiple procedures. Combined multivisceral resections may represent an alternative to sequential procedures with a potential favorable impact on postope…

ObjectiveTo describe the management and the fertility-enhancing potential of surgery in an infertile patient with deep-infiltrating endometriosis and adenomyosis externa.DesignVideo case report.SettingMinimally invasive and robotic gynecolo…

Descriviamo un caso insolito di un grande endometrioma addominale intramuscolare, diagnosticato inizialmente come tumore desmoide, in una paziente di 36 anni con una storia di un anno di dolore addominale nei quadranti inferiori, parzialmen…

We describe an unusual case of giant intramuscular abdominal endometrioma clinically misdiagnosed as desmoid tumour in a 36-year-old female patient with a one-year history of lower abdominal pain. Endometriosis is defined by the presence of…

ObjectiveTo demonstrate the surgical steps used to perform a robotic radical parametrectomy in a woman with deep infiltrating endometriosis.DesignDescription of the procedure using video.SettingUniversity hospital, referral center for endom…

Intestinal deep infiltrating endometriosis is the most frequent extragenital localisation and its traditional surgical treatment is segmental resection of the affected tract. The need for implementing alternative techniques in the treatment…

The objective of our study was to evaluate surgical outcome of minimally invasive vaginal hysterectomy (MIVH), using the bipolar vessel sealing system (BVSS; BiClamp®). The design was a retrospective analysis (Canadian Task-force Classifica…
