Endometriosis is the presence of stromal and epithelial cells outside the uterine cavity. This chronic inflammatory disease affects about 10 % of the female population in reproductive age and is responsible for chronic pelvic pain and infer…

It is defined by the presence of endometriosis in macroscopically normal-looking tissue. Even though there have been further studies, the meaning of OME is still unclear. Firstly, it could have an important status in the pathogenesis of end…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrium outside of uterine cavity and thought to develop through reverse menstruation of endometrial tissue into the peritoneal cavity. Endometrial cell implantation into peritoneal cavity is …

Background. Endometriosis (EMs) is a non-malignant gynecological disease, whose pathogenesis remains to be clarified. Recent studies have found that hypoxia induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) as well as epigenetic modification …

'To whom correspondence should be addressed A series of 231 cases of deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectovaginal septum is presented. Laparoscopic procedures with excision of deep fibrotic endometriotic nodules were performed i…

Minimal and mild endometriosis (stages I/II) is frequently identified in subfertile patients, especially in case of unexplained infertility. The impact of those lesions on fecundity is still debatted and they have been considered as paraphy…

'To whom correspondence should be addressed A computerized morphometrical investigation was per-formed on endometriotic tissue from the peritoneum (n = 225) and rectovaginal nodules (n = 65) to compare histologically and stereologicall…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the interest of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis and to investigate perioperative results. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From November 2008 to April 2012, 164 women with stage IV …

Adenomyosis is a medical benign condition of the endometrium-myometrium interface that is histopathologically characterized by the presence of ectopic tissue (endometrial glands and stroma) in myometrium. The diagnosis is complicated by the…

Ureteral endometriosis is a rare entity, especially when it occurs in the postmenopausal period. In certain circumstances, this severe disease can cause obstruction, leading to ureterohydronephrosis and, finally, to a progressive and often …

Endometriosis is usually described as a complex multifactorial disease involving dysregulation of estrogen metabolism, inflammatory and immunological mechanisms. Recently, many authors have questioned the environmental pollution and toxins …

Endometriosis, defined by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, is a benign disease responsible for infertility and pelvic pain. The diagnosis based on a detailed gynaecological history and a careful clinical examination…

Over the last ten years, progress in evidence-based medicine coupled with technological and surgical breakthroughs have deeply changed the management of our patients. Uterine bleeding is the first cause of gynaecological consultation and th…
