BACKGROUND: Pain is the primary symptom of endometriosis and may progress into a chronic, acyclic condition driven by neuroinflammatory mechanisms, leading to neuropathic and ultimately nociplastic pain. Central sensitization, a form of noc…
Background and Objectives: Serum albumin is a widely available and inexpensive biomarker that reflects nutritional status and physiological reserve. Hypoalbuminemia has been linked to poor postoperative outcomes in surgical oncology; howeve…
OBJECTIVE: To critically evaluate the evidence linking endometriosis to ovarian cancer, with particular focus on endometrioid and clear cell histologic subtypes, and to inform risk stratification and patient counseling. METHODS: A systemat…
BackgroundOptimized perioperative analgesia is a critical component of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways in robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH). In high-volume robotic programs, predictable pain control may influ…
STUDY QUESTION: Are endometriotic lesions affecting bilateral organs or anatomical structures distributed symmetrically on both sides of the body? SUMMARY ANSWER: The left-sided preponderance of pelvic endometriotic lesions, and the right-…
OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis is challenging to diagnose with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and requires operator expertise to recognize its sonographic features; however, little is known about the learning curve for trainees. This study aimed t…
OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is linked to an increased risk of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), especially clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. The extent and prognostic significance of this link are still not fully understood. This systematic…
IntroductionSeveral surgical approaches are available for the repair of complex vesico-vaginal fistulas; however, robust clinical evidence and standardization of techniques are lacking. Complex vesico-vaginal fistula is defined as either a …
Despite advancements in infection control, surgical site infections (SSIs) and postoperative sepsis remain significant challenges in gynecological surgery, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. In low-income …
Hysteroscopic metroplasty improves reproductive outcomes in women with a dysmorphic uterus, but the impact of adenomyosis in these patients is uncertain. We retrospectively analysed 69 women who underwent metroplasty for a dysmorphic uterus…
A diagnostic challenge: spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy versus uterine rupture
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) for enlarged uteri presents a significant challenge for surgeons due to limited surgical field exposure, increasing the risk of injury to the bowel, bladder, ureters, and blood vessels. To minimize thes…
INTRODUCTION: Dienogest is a synthetic fourth-generation progestin that has been approved for the medical treatment of endometriosis, and its efficacy on pain symptoms and quality of life is well established even in the long term. Nowadays,…
Iatrogenic urinary tract injury is a known complication of pelvic surgery, most commonly occurring during gynecological procedures. The bladder and ureters are particularly vulnerable due to their close anatomical proximity to the uterus. U…
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, limited early screening tools, and the aggressive nature of the disease. Increasing global efforts have been …
Introduction: Actinomyces are commensal bacteria that colonize various sites in the human body. Under certain predisposing conditions, they can proliferate and cause granulomatous inflammation in different tissues. Pelvic actinomycosis is a…
Background and objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the predictive factors associated with failed sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in a large, retrospective cohort of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC).MethodsWe retrospecti…
This feasibility study explores the potential of salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) as non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosing endometriosis and assessing treatment response. Almost one-third of patients with endometriosis do not respond to the sta…
Background: The tumor microenvironment offers a new perspective in gynecologic oncology. In ovarian cancer, numerous preclinical studies, especially organoid models, have highlighted cellular, immune, and biochemical mechanisms. Beyond thes…
Background and Objectives: Uterine ectopic pregnancy includes uterine extraendometrial forms such as cervical, intramural, and interstitial pregnancies, whose incidence is increasing with prior uterine surgery and assisted reproduction. Unl…
BackgroundIn 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT 3.5, which is now widely used in medical education, training, and research. Despite its valuable use for the generation of information, concerns persist about its authenticity and accuracy. Its und…
