OBJECTIVE: To establish a model for predicting revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) scores before endometrioma surgery based on serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and to identify factors that might reliably predic…
BACKGROUND: The presence of an endometrioma can often be accompanied by a clinical dilemma during the course of fertility treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and spontaneous pregnancy rate in…
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate whether symptoms and/or transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) 'soft markers' (ovarian immobility and/or site-specific tenderness (SST)) are associated with endometriosis type/location. STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter prospective obse…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the capacity of transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) versus hysterosalpingography (HSG) as a primary tool to diagnose tubal pathology. STUDY DESIGN: We performed a multicenter RCT (NTR3462) in 4 teaching hospitals in th…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the presence and incidence of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in patients diagnosed with adenomyosis and to evaluate the impacts of urinary symptoms on the quality of life of the patients. MATERI…
OBJECTIVE: To reappraise the anatomic distribution of endometriosis lesions in cases with Superficial Implants (SI), Ovarian Endometrioma (OMA) and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective observational s…
OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis has been associated with a wide range of factors. The disease share immunological features with autoimmune diseases, and the prevalence of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism has been reported to be increased. However, …
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare 1.5-Tesla (1.5 T) to 3-Tesla (3 T) Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in assessing multifocal (multiple lesions affecting the same segment) and multicentric (multiple lesions affecting several digestive segmen…
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the immunohistochemical (IHC) differences of endometrioma tissues that may have the potential to progress to ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) by using KRAS, HNF1β, PIK3CA, PPP2R1A, and ARID1A as biomarkers. STUDY…
OBJECTIVE: Deep endometriosis may simultaneously infiltrate the vagina and the rectosigmoid, which associated resection may increase the risk of postoperative complications. Among these complications, rectovaginal fistula is one of the wors…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of an antioxidant preparation with N-acetyl cysteine, alpha lipoic acid and bromelain on endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter, open-label, non-comparative clinical trial in a repre…
OBJECTIVE(S): Endometriosis is a major cause of infertility and disability for women, caused by the presence of inflammatory endometrial implants in extrauterine locations. Among the constituents involved in the immune response during the d…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) with other treatments as a postoperative maintenance therapy for endometriosis in terms of pain reduction, recurrence prevention, side effects and …
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of NovaSure® radiofrequency global endometrial ablation (GEA) in adenomyosis. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a monocentric longitudinal cohort study at Croix-Rousse University Hospital (Lyon, France). Inclus…
Adenomyosis is the presence of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. The focal and localized form of adenomyosis is known as adenomyoma. It is rarely located outside the uterus which is termed as extrauterine adenomyoma. We d…
OBJECTIVE: To compare HOXA-10 gene expression in eutopic endometrium samples, between fertile and infertile endometriosis patients and the fertile control cases, and in endometrium and endometrioma specimens, between severe and moderate end…
The diagnosis of peritoneal endometriosis during laparoscopy may be difficult due to the polymorphic aspects of the lesions. Enhanced imaging using contrast agents has potential to provide a better identification of peritoneal endometriosis…
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have found a high prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, data on this relation in women without bowel endometriosis is limited. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of IBS in women…
OBJECTIVE(S): To investigate Mesenteric vascular and nerve Sparing Surgery (MSS) as surgical laparoscopic technique to perform segmental intestinal resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study…
INTRODUCTION: This patient preference prospective study was designed to compare patients' satisfaction in women with endometriosis treated either by an extended-cycle oral contraception (OC) or by norethindrone acetate (NETA). METHODS: Thi…
OBJECTIVES: To determine response to controlled ovarian stimulation in a random start cycle and utilisation of cryopreserved oocytes and embryos in cancer patients. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was carried out in an assisted …
