OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify clinical indications for uterine fibroid (UF) treatment by comparing patient characteristics and imaging findings in cases treated with uterine artery embolization (UAE) or total laparoscopic hysterec…

INTRODUCTION: The robotic surgical system equipped with enhanced visualization, flexible instruments, tremor filtration, and improved ergonomics can greatly address difficulties encountered in conventional laparoendoscopic single-site surge…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze success rate and predictive factors for post-NovaSure hysterectomy in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding. STUDY DESIGN: 469 patients undergoing NovaSure endometrial ablation (NEA) were included in this retrospecti…

OBJECTIVE: The AAGL 2021 classification assesses intraoperative surgical complexity using a four-stage scale based on lesion size and location. Despite its potential utility, no data currently assess its correlation with perioperative compl…

Adenomyosis is a benign displacement of endomerial tissue into the uterine myometrium, the exact pathogenesis of which has not yet been established. Recently, there has been increased research on the relationship between microbiota dysbiosi…

OBJECTIVE: This pilot study evaluated Synuclein gamma (SNCG) and B-Cell Lymphoma 6 (BCL6) proteins as potential non-invasive biomarkers in serum and menstrual fluid (MF) to differentiate endometriosis patients from non-endometriosis and hea…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease and a major contributor to dysmenorrhea that substantially reduces the quality of life of the affected. Dienogest has emerged as a promising drug for treating adenomyosis. A few syst…

OBJECTIVES: To analyse levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in follicular fluid in patients with endometrioma, and determine their effect on embryo quality and other relevant influencing factors in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. M…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the diagnostic value of serum-based inflammatory and haematological markers in women with endometriosis, and determine their relationship with disease severity, including lesion characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: …

AIM: GnRH agonists and dienogest are well established treatments for Endometriosis associated pain. Recently, oral GnRH antagonists were introduced and shown to be effective for endometriosis treatment. Yet, superiority of either of those d…

BACKGROUND: Although cystectomy remains the gold standard for ovarian endometrioma surgery, its potential harm to ovarian reserve due to inadvertent removal of ovarian parenchyma has raised concerns. Ablative techniques, like Argon Plasma C…

BACKGROUND: Lower Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels have been observed in women with ovarian endometriomas (OMA) undergoing combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) therapy. However, the extent and timing of AMH recovery after CHC discontinu…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact and diagnostic accuracy of an endometriosis-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol on the management of deep endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study at the Cleveland Clini…

BACKGROUND: The association between endometriosis and cardiovascular disease remains poorly understood. This study conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes in women with endometriosis compared to tho…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological condition associated with chronic pelvic pain, menorrhagia, and infertility. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has gained attention as a noninvasive treatment modality. However, monot…

OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms behind endometriosis-related pain are not yet fully understood. To determine if there is a difference in the density of endometrial nerve fibers between women with endometriosis and healthy controls, and to explore…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with endometrial thermal balloon ablation (TBEA) for treating adenomyosis-related hypermenorrhagia. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included …

BACKGROUND: Uterine peristalsis plays a crucial role in fertility and is affected by various disorders and pathologies. Its knowledge and assessment are very limited with current monitoring techniques. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to objectively …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests a link between dietary antioxidants and endometriosis risk, prompting interest in measures like the Composite Dietary Ant…

Adenomyosis and endometriosis, two common estrogen-dependent benign gynecological disorders usually present with overlapping symptoms, such as pain and infertility. These two conditions often co-exist and are associated with poor reproducti…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying adhesions between pelvic organs caused by endometriosis, comparing MRI findings to those obtained by laparoscopy. DESIGN: Pros…
