ObjectivesCompare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before deeply infiltrating endometriosis surgery.Patients and methodsA retrospective study with …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate complications of transient ovariopexy performed to reduce adhesions in patients with severe endometriosis. METHODS: A bicentric retrospective study involved 193 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery…
OBJECTIVE: To assess adhesion formation and fertility outcome after transient abdominal ovariopexy performed in patients with severe endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study including 218 patients who underwent surgery for severe e…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to ascertain whether the incidence of spontaneous pregnancy is increased in infertile women with deep and intraperitoneal endometriosis undergoing extensive surgery compared with those undergoing o…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the fertility status in women suffering from major postoperative complications following deep endometriosis surgery.Study designA retrospective study in teaching and research hospitals (tertiary centers) including 23 wo…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to show the treatment outcome in women affected by bladder endometriosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of records of 24 women with deep vesical endometriosis treated between 1998 and 2007. RESULTS:…
Localisation of endometriosis on the sciatic nerve is exceptional. We report the case of a patient presenting an endometriotic nodule of the left ischio-rectal excavation, with an extension contiguous to the sciatic nerve, responsible of in…
Several surgical treatment modalities have been described in cases of isolated or multiple ovarian endometriotic cysts. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate and test the efficacy of ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for recurrent …
ObjectivesIndications of colorectal resection for endometriosis are controversial because of the risk of major complications. This study aims to evaluate the value of different diagnostic tests in decision-making, and to evaluate the surgic…
Despite the lack of complete data concerning their effects, the use of progestin-only contraception is increasing in France (particularly the intra-uterine device, the subdermal implantation, and microprogestins). These prescriptions includ…
ObjectiveTo investigate the follicular response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in IVF-ET cycles after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for large endometriomas.Patients and methodsIn the set of a retrospective controlled study, …
Adenocarcinomas developing in endometriotic lesions have been reported, most commonly in the ovary. The rectovaginal septum is a rare location of this neoplastic transformation. We report a case of primary adenocarcinoma arising from endome…
ObjectivesTo assess the value of MRI and ano-rectal endosonography (ARES) for the diagnosis and surgical prognosis of rectovaginal septum endometriosis and to analyse the surgical management in order to evaluate its functional results and c…
ObjectiveTo assess adhesion reformation and subsequent fertility after a transient ovariopexy performed during severe pelvic endometriosis surgery.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUniversity hospital.Patient(s)Twenty young women who underwe…
Endometrioma is one of the most frequent localisations of endometriosis. The diagnosis is based mainly on the intravaginal ultrasonography which has a good predictive value, even if there are a lot of atypical echographic aspects. Endoscopi…
ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of Dienogest versus Decapeptyl at 3.75 mg as consolidation therapy for surgery in the treatment of endometriosis.DesignMulticenter, open, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial.SettingVolunteer patients i…
BACKGROUND: To evaluate (a) cadherins and CD44 expression in normal endometrium and in peritoneal endometriosis, and (b) to correlate, their expressions with clinicopathological parameters. METHODS: E- and N-cadherin, CD44 isoforms, CD44v3…
BACKGROUND: The aim of our study was to measure concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) CD31 and vascular cell adhesion molecules (VCAM-1) in the follicular fluid …
Investigations are performed in women with external endometriosis to confirm the diagnosis and to evaluate extension of the disease before treatment. Elevated serum CA 125 level is correlated with the severity of the disease. CA 125 may be …
We evaluated the immunohistochemical expression of cadherins and CD44 variants in 20 endometriomas, 20 cystadenomas, 20 borderline ovarian tumours as well as 20 ovarian carcinomas, and the serological and cystic fluid concentrations of solu…
