A study was conducted to determine if the increased recognition of various forms of endometriosis might have increased the ability to correlate focal tenderness with lesions. The prospective study of 82 patients revealed a strong correlatio…
Vesical endometriosis is an uncommon entity characterized by the deposition of benign, hyperplastic endometrial tissue in the bladder. To date, only about 160 cases have been reported in the world literature. More uncommon, however, are cas…
This article studies endometriosis diagnosed in patients undergoing laparoscopy for infertility and/or pain from 1982 to 1988. The diagnosis of endometriosis at laparoscopy increased from 42% in 1982 to 72% in 1988. The greatest change is i…
Palpable endometriotic nodules deep in the cul-de-sac and vagina represent the extension of intraperitoneal disease. Although such nodules used to be excised with vaginal colpotomy and by tracing the endometriosis to the peritoneum, the dis…
This retrospective study demonstrates an increased documentation of subtle appearances of endometriosis. This documentation was associated with an increased emphasis on excising these lesions for histologic examination. Endometriosis was do…
Laparoscopic excisional techniques, used for endometriosis on 319 of 495 patients during the years 1982-1986 at Baptist Memorial Hospital, Memphis, significantly increased the percentage of confirmation per patient. That percentage for all …
Laparoscopic vaporization with the carbon dioxide laser has become a popular treatment modality for endometriosis-associated infertility, yet little data exist regarding the efficacy of such an approach. The authors have applied sophisticat…
Medical, surgical and combined therapy have been used in the treatment of infertility associated with endometriosis. The CO2 laser offers the advantage of precise excisional surgery at the initial laparoscopy and potentially avoids further …
Both medical and surgical therapy have been used in the treatment of infertility associated with endometriosis. Danazol has been used following screening laparoscopy to avoid the discomfort, expense and risk of laparotomy. The CO2 laser off…
It has been suggested that the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, by virtue of its hypothetical capabilities for precise incisions, minimization of tissue handling and bleeding, and shortened operating time, may improve the success rate of gynecol…
