Histological analysis of (antral) follicle density in ovarian cortex tissue attached to stripped endometriomas
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-024-03058-0

PURPOSE: When resecting endometriomas with the stripping technique, in the majority of cases, a thin line of adjacent ovarian cortex is attached to the endometrioma. In this study, we performed histological analysis to determine (antral) fo…

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Potential Biomarkers for Targeted Intraoperative Fluorescence Imaging in Endometriosis: Towards Optimizing Surgical Treatment
Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) ·doi:10.1007/s43032-024-01715-4

Surgical intervention for endometriosis is an important treatment modality, yet incomplete resection resulting from poor visibility of affected tissue and consequently recurrence of disease remains a prevalent challenge. Intra-operative vis…

The (cost-) effectiveness Of Surgical excision of Colorectal endometriosis compared to ART treatment trAjectory (TOSCA study) - a study protocol
Reproduction & fertility ·doi:10.1530/raf-23-0048

Currently, the optimal treatment to increase the chance of pregnancy and live birth in patients with colorectal endometriosis and subfertility is unknown. Evidence suggests that that both surgery and in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracyt…

Biomarker identification for endometriosis as a target for real-time intraoperative fluorescent imaging: A new approach using transcriptomic analysis to broaden the search for potential biomarkers
European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology ·doi:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.07.007

Intra-operative fluorescent imaging of endometriosis could help to optimize surgical treatment. Potential biomarkers to use as target for endometriosis-binding fluorescent probes were identified using a new five-phase transcriptomics-based …

Preoperative pain measurements in correlation to deep endometriosis classification with Enzian
Facts, views & vision in ObGyn ·doi:10.52054/fvvo.14.3.034

BACKGROUND: Deep Endometriosis (DE) classification studies with Enzian never compared solitary compartments (A, B, C, F), and combinations of anatomical locations (A&B, A&C, B&C, A&B&C), in correlation to pain. Therefore, the results of the…

EQUSUM: Endometriosis QUality and grading instrument for SUrgical performance: proof of concept study for automatic digital registration and classification scoring for r-ASRM, EFI and Enzian
Human reproduction open ·doi:10.1093/hropen/hoaa053

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Is electronic digital classification/staging of endometriosis by the EQUSUM application more accurate in calculating the scores/stages and is it easier to use compared to non-digital classification? SUMMARY ANSWER We…
