The management of endometriomas in women wishing to preserve their fertility is complex. While surgery can help to achieve pregnancy in some, it may also have a detrimental effect on a woman's ovarian reserve. The present article reviews th…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of hemostatic techniques (bipolar energy versus hemostatic sealants versus suture) on the ovarian reserve of patients submitted to laparoscopic cystectomy for the surgical excision of unilateral endometrioma…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease are considered to be risk factors for ovarian cancer, as dysbiosis probably contributes to ovarian cancer development via chronic inflammation and immune response alteration. Therefor…

OBJECTIVE: Systematic placement of a ureteral stent before surgery for posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) was previously recommended, but it could increase perioperative complications. We evaluate the role of preoperative urete…

OBJECTIVE: To improve the management of patients with chronic endometritis (CE) by using a molded sorbent-modified by polyvinylpyrrolidone (FSMP). METHODS: This prospective study included 70 patients with CE divided into two groups: group …

OBJECTIVE: To compare vaginally-assisted natural orifices endoscopic transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) hysterectomy with salpingectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy with standard laparoscopic access. METHODS: Medical records for patients un…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the significance of perioperative levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and/or gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) as adjuvant therapy in preventing recurrences or progression of diseas…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of occult microscopic endometriosis in patients with chronic pelvic pain and negative laparoscopy. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study included women who underwent laparoscopic evaluation f…

OBJECTIVE: To apply rapid online surveying to determine the knowledge and perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic on patients with endometriosis in Turkey. METHODS: An online survey was conducted by the Turkish Endometriosis & Adenomyosis Soc…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of triptorelin for the treatment of adenomyosis, the benign invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, as a fertility-preserving alternative to the gold standard hysterectomy. METHODS: In t…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of hematologic, inflammatory, and immunologic biomarkers for differentiating between ovarian cancer and endometriosis. METHODS: Data were retrospectively reviewed from women diagnosed with ovarian cancer an…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic metroplasty for the treatment of unicornuate uterus with a functional noncommunicating rudimentary horn. METHODS: Laparoscopic metroplasty was performed in one patient using traditiona…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) in detecting deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), using Enzian classification. Secondarily, to evaluate the influence of nodule si…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term impact of laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas and benign cysts on ovarian reserve and selection of the most effective method of assessment. METHODS: The present study was carried out between Nove…

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of fibromyalgia among women with endometriosis and analyze the effect of fibromyalgia on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS: An observational case-control study conducted at a tertiary hos…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of contained manual morcellation (CMM) with a tissue pouch during minimally invasive robotic or laparoscopic surgeries. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study included women who underwent robotic…

BACKGROUND: Studies on the impact of adenomyosis and its pregnancy complications have yielded conflicting results. OBJECTIVE: To determine the likelihood of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with adenomyosis relative to women without …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate features of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) and endometrioid carcinoma (EC) by presence of endometriosis among women with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). METHODS: A retrospective review of the med…

OBJECTIVE: To assess three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound combined with power Doppler (PD) for the differential diagnosis of endometrial lesions among infertile women. METHODS: A prospective study carried out at a reproductive medicine center…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term effects of using the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) to treat symptomatic adenomyosis. METHOD: A prospective longitudinal study was conducted among 1100 women who received the LN…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the predictive ability of a combination of anogenital distance (AGD) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to diagnosis the presence of endometriosis without surgery. METHODS: The present study included women diagnosed with…

Challenges intrinsic to the accurate diagnosis of endometriosis contribute to an extended delay between the onset of symptoms and clinical confirmation. Intraoperative visualization, preferably with histologic verification, is considered by…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of vaginal hysterectomy for benign conditions (excluding prolapse) using the BiClamp (Erbe Elektromedizin, Tübingen, Germany) bipolar electrocoagulation system. METHODS: The present study was …

Efforts by the health and scientific community have focused on providing women with the means to control and regulate their fertility. We paid less attention to the reality of women achieving their reproductive revolution while burdened wit…
