OBJECTIVE: Diminished quality of life, inadequate support and social isolation are commonly experienced by individuals living with the chronic pain condition, endometriosis. We aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of EndoSMS…
INTRODUCTION: As a high symptom burden chronic condition, endometriosis is associated with diminished quality of life (QoL) and psychological distress. The EndoSMS text message intervention was developed to inform and support individuals li…
Open-label single- and double-blind repeat-dose studies in healthy female volunteers were conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety/tolerability of epelsiban total daily doses ranging from 600 to 900 mg. In 1 study (n = …
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a poorly understood, benign disease of the uterus. OBJECTIVE: In this study, patient interviews were conducted to characterize the symptoms and impact of adenomyosis. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study in w…
STUDY QUESTION: Which essential items should be recorded before, during and after endometriosis surgery and in clinical outcome based surgical trials in patients with deep endometriosis (DE)? SUMMARY ANSWER: A DE surgical sheet (DESS) was …

AIMS: To compare bowel and bladder function following uterosacral or rectovaginal excision of endometriosis with excision of endometriosis from other sites of the pelvis. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed via a questionnai…
ObjectiveTo determine whether accuracy of visual diagnosis of endometriosis at laparoscopy is determined by stage of disease.DesignProspective longitudinal cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).SettingTertiary referral cent…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate preoperative real-time dynamic transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the prediction of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in women undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. METHODS: This was a multicenter prospe…
Dear Editor, With respect, Dennerstein1 raises two issues with our paper.2 Firstly, he appears to consider the necessity for bowel resection in cases of endometriosis involving the bowel is rare. We disagree. Such cases are being increasing…
BACKGROUND: Hydronephrosis is a rare but serious manifestation of ureteric endometriosis. FINDINGS: One hundred and twenty-six women underwent ureterolysis for ureteric endometriosis betweeen and October 1996 and June 2009. Thirteen of the …
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis currently requires a laparoscopy and this need probably contributes to the considerable average delay in diagnosis. We have reported the presence of nerve fibres in the functional layer of endometrium …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To identify the volume and type of laparoscopic surgery being performed. To review the incidence, nature of associated complications, and reasons for conversion to laparotomy. DESIGN: A multicenter, prospective case load a…
In this retrospective study on banked tissue, we found that alpha-actinin and talin were completely de-expressed in both endometriosis and endometrioid carcinoma tissue. Some patchy, depolarized labeling for ezrin was noted in the endometri…
In this retrospective and quantitated study on banked tissue we found that, compared to normal uterine epithelial cells, growth hormone (GH) is increased 3.4-fold in endometriosis and 3.8-fold in endometrial adenocarcinoma. Similarly, inter…
A widely accepted theory of the etiology of endometriosis is that it originates from the implantation and invasion of cells from retrograde menstruation to various sites in the body particularly the pelvic peritoneal cavity. Little is known…
PURPOSE: Surgical treatment of females with rectal endometriosis is challenging. The aim of this study was to review the results of laparoscopic intervention in the management of females with this complex disorder. METHOD: All cases of comp…
AimTo study the presence and morphological features of smooth muscle in the subcoelomic mesenchyme with the aim of establishing both a normal range for the female pelvis, and its possible relationship to endometriosis, diffuse peritoneal le…
Endocervicosis is a benign lesion in which endocervical mucosa develops in anatomic locations distant from the endocervical canal. Two cases of infiltrating endocervicosis of the urinary bladder were managed by laparoscopic partial cystecto…
Heparan sulfate (HS) serves as a receptor for adherence of herpes simplex viruses, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and, indirectly, human immunodeficiency virus. Using primary human culture systems, we identified sulfated carb…
