Endometriomas can be managed through various approaches, including careful observation, medical suppressive therapy, or surgical intervention. Malignancy is rarely a concern in women of reproductive age, making pain relief and the managemen…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis-related infertility and its treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been broadly researched. Yet, underlying mechanisms of infertility, particularly in the absence of tubal dysfunction, remain …

As a chronic inflammatory disease, endometriosis generates fibrosis and anatomic distortion, which add extra-challenges to assisted reproductive technology cycles and requires a personalized approach. Patients with endometriomas have signif…

How endometriosis causes infertility, with the exception of tubal dysfunction caused by adhesions, is unclear. The inflammatory milieu in the pelvis and impaired receptivity of the eutopic endometrium are considered to be possible factors. …

This guideline was prepared by the Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine to define the conditions and requirements for an outsourced preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) programme in line with the experience and needs of practitioners. …

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss optimal management of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle in women with endometriosis. RECENT FINDINGS: New studies involving euploid embryo transfers provide more insight on the etiology of endome…

Dysbiosis in the genital tract or gut microbiome can be associated with endometriosis. We sampled vaginal, cervical and gut microbiota from 14 women with histology proven stage 3/4 endometriosis and 14 healthy controls. The V3 and V4 region…

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether endometrioma is associated with a progressive decline in ovarian reserve, and to compare the rate of decline with natural decline in ovarian reserve.DesignProspective, observational study.SettingTertiary univers…

Whether endometriomas grow because of supraphysiological oestradiol levels attained during ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction techniques is a concern. In this prospective study, 25 women with 28 endometriomas underwent three-dime…

STUDY QUESTİON: Are live birth rates (LBR) different after ART cycles between women with primary or recurrent endometrioma? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with recurrent endometrioma have similar LBR as compared to patients with primary endometrioma…

BackgroundThe use of power morcellation (PM) in abdominal and pelvic surgery has been discouraged and even banned in some institutions because of the risk of spreading malignant cells, although some authorities maintain that PM can be an ap…

We reviewed the literature to determine whether different hemostatic methods used following laparoscopic endometrioma excision have differing effects on ovarian reserve. We performed a systematic literature search using the Cochrane Central…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease mostly affecting women at reproductive age. There is a clear association between endometriosis and infertility; however, exact mechanisms are unknown. Some evidence suggests an adverse effect on oocytes. E…

Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D USG) is a fast-evolving imaging technique that holds a great potential for use in gynecology. Its sensitivity and specificity is reported to be close to 100 % for diagnosing congenital uterine anomalies, com…

STUDY QUESTION: Do the presence of endometriomas and their laparoscopic excision lead to a decrease in ovarian reserve as assessed by serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels? SUMMARY ANSWER: Both the presence and excision of endometriomas…

Endometrioma surgery by stripping the cyst capsule has been associated with a reduction in ovarian reserve. It is still not clear whether the inflicted damage is immediate, sustained over time or associated with the use of electrocautery, n…

Cervix uteri is regarded as an infrequent localization for endometriosis. With widespread use of invasive cervical procedures, however, an increased incidence can be expected. Limited awareness of the clinical appearance of the disease may …
