Conservative endometrioma surgery: The combined technique versus CO2-laser vaporization only (BLAST: Belgium LAser STudy): Clinical protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0315709

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…

Estimation of the Endometriosis Fertility Index prior to operative laparoscopy
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deaa346

STUDY QUESTION: Can the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) be estimated accurately before surgery? SUMMARY ANSWER: The EFI can be estimated accurately based on mere clinical/ultrasound information, with some improvement after adding data f…

Reproducibility of the Endometriosis Fertility Index: a prospective inter‐/intra‐rater agreement study
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/1471-0528.15880

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reproducibility of the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI). DESIGN: Single-cohort prospective observational study. SETTING: University hospital. POPULATION: Women undergoing laparoscopic resection of any rASRM-sta…

How do patients score cosmesis after laparoscopic natural orifice specimen extraction colectomy?
Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland ·doi:10.1111/codi.12885

AIM: Laparoscopic colorectal resection results in improved cosmetic outcome and better presumed body image. Laparoscopic NOSE colectomy omits an incision for specimen extraction and is supposed to further improve postoperative cosmesis. Thi…

Standardized laparoscopic NOSE-colectomy is feasible with low morbidity
Surgical endoscopy ·doi:10.1007/s00464-014-3784-3

BACKGROUND: In laparoscopic colorectal surgery, extraction site laparotomy can be avoided by natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) resulting in less postoperative pain, shorter length of stay, and less morbidity such as wound complicat…

External validation of the endometriosis fertility index (EFI) staging system for predicting non-ART pregnancy after endometriosis surgery
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/det017

STUDY QUESTION: Can the ability of the endometriosis fertility index (EFI) to predict non-assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancy after endometriosis surgery be confirmed by an external validation study? SUMMARY ANSWER: The signif…

Clinical outcome after CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of endometriosis with colorectal wall invasion combined with laparoscopic segmental bowel resection and reanastomosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der231

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic segmental bowel resection and reanastomosis for endometriosis with colorectal wall invasion can be associated with high complication rates. This study was performed to test the hypothesis that this high complication…

Laparoscopic sigmoid resection with transrectal specimen extraction: a novel technique for the treatment of bowel endometriosis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/der072

BACKGROUND: Multidisciplinary laparoscopic treatment is the standard of care for radical treatment of deep infiltrating pelvic endometriosis. If bowel resection is necessary, a muscle-split or Pfannenstiel incision is also required. The avo…

article 2008
High prevalence of endometriosis in infertile women with normal ovulation and normospermic partners
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.04.056

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of histologically proven endometriosis in a subset of infertile women.DesignRetrospective case series with electronic file search and multivariable logistic regression analysis.SettingTertiary academic f…
