Given the complexities and controversies that exist in diagnosing adult endometriosis, as well as optimizing medical and surgical management, it is not surprising that there is even more ambiguity and inconsistency in the optimal surgical c…
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of gonadal vein refluxes associated with lower-extremity varicose veins with Doppler ultrasonography (DUS).MethodA total of 6279 patients with venous disease-related symptoms …
BACKGROUND: Several endometriosis classification systems have been proposed and published but the search for a universal language that communicates the complexity, laterality and severity of this disease continues. The authors introduce the…
ObjectiveMyofascial tenderness is present in most chronic pelvic pain conditions and causes significant distress to patients. Treatment is challenging and often not curative. Cannabis is often used for self-management of chronic pelvic pain…
Objective The aim of this study was to assess inter-rater reliability for components of the Visual-Numeric Endometriosis Scoring System (VNESS). VNESS is a novel system for describing surgical findings in each compartment of the pelvis in a…
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a cell surface glycoprotein complex most commonly associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Koprowski first described it in 1979 using a mouse monoclonal antibody in a colorectal carcino…
AIM: Myofascial pelvic pain is a chronic and debilitating condition, sometimes associated with pelvic floor disorders (PFD) such as urinary incontinence, defecatory dysfunction or pelvic organ prolapse. Our aim was to identify risk factors …

Studies have shown an increased risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence following total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). Patient variables associated with dehiscence have not been well described. This study aims to identify factors associated with …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the laparoscopic repair of bladder and bowel injuries using barbed suture and review postoperative outcomes. DESIGN: Retrospective medical chart review (Canadian Task Force classification II-3). SETTING: Large…
PURPOSE: Mechanisms of immune dysregulation associated with advanced tumors are relatively well understood. Much less is known about the role of immune effectors against cancer precursor lesions. Endometrioid and clear-cell ovarian tumors p…
PURPOSE: Endometriosis, a largely benign, chronic inflammatory disease, is an independent risk factor for endometrioid and clear cell epithelial ovarian tumors. We aimed to identify plasma miRNAs that can be used to differentiate patients w…
OBJECTIVE: To compare laparoscopic anterior discoid resection (ADR) with low anterior resection (LAR). METHODS: This is a retrospective review of a cohort (Canadian Task Force classification II-2) of patients undergoing laparoscopic ADR or …
