A Search to Identify Genetic Risk Factors for Endometriosis
American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989) ·doi:10.1111/aji.12034

PROBLEM: To search for molecular markers of endometriosis the following polymorphisms: p53 codon 72 Pro (apoptosis), TNF alpha-308 (inflammation), VEGF-1164AA (angiogenesis), and SOD2 (oxidative stress) were investigated. METHOD OF STUDY: F…

Large Abdominal Wall Endometrioma Following Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons ·doi:10.4293/108680811x13071180407078

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common condition in women that affects up to 45% of patients in the reproductive age group by causing pelvic pain. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and is ra…

Incidental appendectomy during endoscopic surgery.
JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The first laparoscopic appendectomy was performed over 25 years ago, and yet controversy still exists over the open method vs. the laparoscopic approach, and whether an incidental appendectomy is warranted. This s…

Decrease in the size of ovarian endometriomas during ovarian suppression in stage IV endometriosis. Role of preoperative medical treatment.
The Journal of reproductive medicine

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of hormonal suppression on the size of ovarian endometriomas and to develop a predictive model for changes in the size of these lesions. STUDY DESIGN: The study consisted of 80 women of reproductive age wit…

article 1996
Ovarian remnant syndrome after laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for severe pelvic endometriosis
The Journal of the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists ·doi:10.1016/s1074-3804(96)80075-2

Ovarian remnant syndrome is a rare complication of total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). Ovarian enlargement and dense periovarian adhesions are the predisposing factors. Recurrent ovarian remnant syndrome …
