BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a heterogeneous uterine disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the myometrium. Autophagy, a key homeostatic process involved in tissue remodeling and stress adaptation, has been incons…
IntroductionSacrocolpopexy with concomitant hysterectomy is a common procedure for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. However, occult endometrial pathologies, including malignancies, may be present in some patients, which should be con…
BACKGROUND: The surgical management of endometrioma(s) remains challenging. Although laparoscopic surgery is a well-established treatment of endometrioma(s), caution is required to minimize ovarian damage. Several surgical techniques have b…
BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is a common surgical procedure in gynaecology, performed through abdominal, vaginal, and laparoscopic techniques. The vaginal route is typically preferred for benign conditions like fibroids, adenomyosis, and uterin…
Background/Objectives: Adenomyosis is a benign condition where ectopic endometrial glandular tissue is found within the uterine myometrium. Its impact on women's reproductive outcomes is substantial, primarily due to defective decidualizati…
Human reproduction is a captivating yet intricate field, constantly presenting new challenges and discoveries [...].
IN BRIEF: The impact of adenomyosis on reproductive health needs to be fully understood. By using a murine model, this study provides novel insights into the nuanced mechanisms associated with fertility challenges and offers a foundation fo…
OBJECTIVES: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) accounts for 15 to 40 % of exploratory laparoscopies. An exploratory laparoscopy was performed to exclude the presence of peritoneal endometriosis in patients experiencing significant impairment of thei…
Background and Objectives: Adenomyosis (the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma below the endometrial-myometrial junction) is a benign condition which is increasingly diagnosed in younger women suffering from infertility. The …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is one of the main isthmocele symptoms, together with abnormal uterine bleeding and secondary infertility. When patients undergo a laparoscopic niche repair surgery, it is important to determine if they present ass…
Contrary to popular belief, we have known for many years that the endometrium is not a sterile environment and is considered to be a low-biomass milieu compared to the vagina. Numerous trials and studies have attempted to establish a valid …

BackgroundTransvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) is an emerging surgical technique in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery. This technique allows different types of surgical procedures to be performed …
At present, there is no curative treatment for endometriosis. Medical management and surgical treatment do not provide long-term relief. A detailed understanding of its pathophysiology is mandatory in order to facilitate both the diagnosis …
Umbilical endometriosis is a rare manifestation, most often isolated, of endometriosis, accounting for 0,5-1 % of all cases. It can be primary or secondary following surgery. It usually presents as a solid, skin-colored, red or purple-black…
BCL6 (B-cell lymphoma 6) is a proto-oncogene and transcriptional repressor initially described as being involved in B-cell lymphoma. Recently, this factor has been identified as a promising tissue biomarker which could be used to diagnose w…
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…
BackgroundThe application of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser for laparoscopic gynecologic surgery was introduced in 1979 and spread after improving instrumentation, due to the versatility of the CO2 laser technology and the parallel increase of …
Study questionsDoes the application of anti-adhesion gel, compared to no gel, following operative hysteroscopy to treat intrauterine pathology in women wishing to conceive increase the chance of conception leading to live birth?What is know…
BackgroundSeptate uterus is the most common uterine malformation found in women presenting poor reproductive history. Hysteroscopic septoplasty (HS) restores the uterine anatomy in a safe procedure.ObjectivesThe goal of our study is to dete…
Endometriosis is defined as endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is a chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease causing pain and infertility in about 10% of women of reproductive age. Treatment nowadays consists of m…
Study objectiveTo demonstrate a rare case of a pediculated endometriotic nodule that was initially diagnosed as a solid adnexal mass.DesignWe present a stepwise narrated demonstration of our laparoscopic technique.SettingWe present a case r…
A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among members of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), with the aim of increasing awareness of the diagnosis and surgical treatment of tubal disease as an alternative to in-vitr…
