To study the effect of endometriosis on follicular rupture, endometrial tissue was autografted to New Zealand White rabbits. Endometrium was surgically implanted into the peritoneal cavity or into the rectus muscle. Human chorionic gonadotr…

ObjectiveTo assess the timing of endometrial lesion revascularization in a murine model.DesignProspective experimental study.SettingAn academic research environment.Animal(s)Twenty-six nude mice.Intervention(s)Endometriosis was induced in m…

This immunohistochemical study shows that platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), known to play a role in neoangiogenesis and vascular development, is strongly and homogeneously expressed in endothelial cells lining blood v…

Healthcare workers in rehabilitation clinics frequently perceive safety concerns. The study underlines the importance of promoting a culture of safety and speaking up. The short survey instrument SUPS-Q can be used by rehabilitation clinics…

The diagnosis of peritoneal endometriosis at the time of laparoscopy is often made by the observation of typically puckered black or bluish lesions. There are also numerous subtle appearances of peritoneal endometriosis. The lesions are fre…

ObjectiveTo examine the possible involvement of iron in the physiopathology of endometriosis.DesignProspective study.SettingDepartment of gynecology in a university hospital.Patient(s)Seventy patients undergoing laparoscopy.Intervention(s)C…

ObjectiveTo review the literature associating pelvic endometriosis with oxidative stress and to discuss the potential causes and consequences of a pro-oxidant environment in the peritoneal cavity.DesignLiterature survey.Result(s)Several stu…

ObjectiveTo test whether hemoglobin may accumulate in the peritoneal cavity in case of endometriosis and to assess whether heme oxygenases (HO), detoxifying heme, are expressed in ectopic endometrium and peritoneal cells.DesignProspective s…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the implantation of menstrual endometrium and the early stages of evolution of endometriotic lesions.DesignExperimental prospective study.SettingAn academic research environment.AnimalsTen nude mice.Intervention(s)A min…

The objective of this study was to analyse the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of cultured explants of human endometrium transplanted into nude mice. Biopsies of eutopic endometrium were taken from six patients during l…

Objective: Laparoscopic procedure with excision of deep fibrotic\nendometriotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum and histological\nstudy of the lesions. \nSetting:\nAn academic teaching hospital.\nPatients: A series of 500 patients underw…

OBJECTIVE: Laparoscopic procedure with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum and histological study of the lesions. SETTING: An academic teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: A series of 500 women undergoing …

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) and/or drainage in the management of large endometriomas.DesignThis prospective clinical study was conducted in a parallel and randomized design.SettingDepartment of Gynecology, Cliniqu…

Endometriosis most commonly affects the pelvic peritoneum close to the ovaries, including the uterosacral ligaments, the ovarian fossa peritoneum, and the perito- neum of the cul-de-sac.\nThe increased diagnosis of endometriosis at laparosc…

In this chapter, we will try to classify the different indications of surgery and/or combined (medico-surgical) therapy in 1) peritoneal endometriosis 2) ovarian endometriosis 3) deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the recto-vaginal septum 4…

To evaluate the stromal vascularization of different appearances of peritoneal endometriosis, biopsies were taken from peritoneal areas with endometriosis in a series of 135 infertile women and classified as typical (black), red, or white l…

ObjectiveTo elucidate some biological characteristics of peritoneal endometriosis.DesignA recently advanced stereographic computer technology was applied for the investigation of the three-dimensional (3-D) architectures of peritoneal endom…

Seven hundred fourteen patients underwent CO2 laser laparoscopy for endometriosis (mild = 343, moderate = 211, severe = 160). Following laser treatment the term pregnancy rate was 52% within 18 months. The operating time ranged from 30 to 6…

To evaluate the persistence of endometriosis and the morphologic changes occurring in endometriotic foci after hormonal therapy, microsurgical resection of ovarian endometriosis was performed in 148 women. After hormonal therapy (n = 116), …

To evaluate the results of 54 microsurgical anastomoses in relation to histologic findings, serial sections from 102 stenosed tubal portions (n = 54 women) were examined. The term pregnancy rate was 41% in our series. Unfavorable histologic…
