OBJECTIVE: To evaluate variation in ovarian preservation and excision of extra-ovarian endometriosis during endometrioma surgery across gynecologic subspecialties. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: One tertiary academic medical…

OBJECTIVE: No consensus currently exists regarding patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) instruments. This structured review was conducted to identify the PROMs used by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated surgical treatment…

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting approximately 190 million individuals and up to 50% of women with infertility globally. The disease is characterized by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the uterine corpus, which cause…

Endometriosis is a prevalent and potentially debilitating condition that mostly affects individuals of reproductive age, and often has a substantial diagnostic delay. US is usually the first-line imaging modality used when patients report c…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the perioperative outcomes of premenopausal women undergoing cystectomy or oophorectomy for ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) and other benign neoplasms. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Clinical database con…

BACKGROUND: The lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1.9% among women with endometriosis compared with 1.3% among the general population. When an asymptomatic endometrioma is incidentally discovered on imaging, gynecologists must weigh the pr…

We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools, including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools such as…

Study objectiveTo systematically review the literature regarding the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in reducing adenomyotic lesions, patients' pain and bleeding symptoms, and the impact on patients' quality of life.Dat…

Study objectiveTo validate the algorithm for selective bowel surgery based on preoperative imaging by comparing the perioperative outcomes of patients who undergo each type of bowel surgery for deep bowel disease, and secondarily to evaluat…

Study objectiveTo evaluate bowel function (changes in stool caliber, sensation of incomplete evacuation, stooling frequency, and rectal bleeding) and urinary function (dysuria and retention) after segmental resection in patients with bowel …

In this article we propose a structured imaging report applied to ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with suspected endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic, multifocal disease, which can lead to pain or subfertility. Treatments are tailored toward the therapeutic goals of the individual patient; either to improve a specific pain symptom or optimize fertility. Managem…

Because surgery for endometriosis can involve severe complications, it is important to determine if the patient's quality of life (QOL) is indeed improved after surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis, when appropriate, was conducted…

Treatment options for patients with different types of endometriosis - superficial, ovarian, or deep - vary depending on the clinical presentation. New findings in the recent years regarding the role of preoperative imaging, efficacy of med…

Study objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and learning curve of a sonographic mapping protocol for deep endometriosis (DE).DesignRetrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).SettingTertiary referral center i…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects young women in reproductive age. It has mainly three different clinical presentations: superficial (peritoneal), ovarian (endometriomas) and deep endometriosis (DE).…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic foci of endometrial glandular tissue and/or stroma within the myometrium. The diagnosis of adenomyosis is traditionally made through histologic evaluation of the postsurgical specimen.…

Endometriosis has clearly three distinct clinical presentations and deep endometriosis, especially compromising the rectosigmoid is probably the most concerning one for both patients and surgeons. Currently, with the available tools, it is …

Study objectiveTo show a step-by-step laparoscopic approach for excision of an ovarian endometrioma following surgical principles for safety and maximal preservation of ovarian function.DesignVideo. Medical management of ovarian endometriom…

ObjectiveTo determine perioperative outcomes and factors impacting operating time, length of hospital stay, and complications of patients undergoing surgery for stage 3 or 4 endometriosis.DesignRetrospective review of medical records (Canad…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the risk of postoperative complications in robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery according to case type. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: Mayo Clinic …
