BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a gynaecological lesion that impairs female fertility and contributes to reduced quality of life. There are several surgical and medical options for the management of this lesion; however, women who wish to concei…

OBJECTIVES: To validate probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (pCLE) as a method in assessing endometriosis during conventional and robot-assisted laparoscopy. STUDY DESIGN: Pilot study, including five women in Hospital Moriah, São Pau…

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of appendiceal endometriosis (AppE) in patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE), compare it with the prevalence in patients without DiaE, and delineate the anatomical…

OBJECTIVE(S): Chronic endometritis (CE) is a localized mucosal inflammatory disorder associated with female infertility of unknown etiology, endometriosis, tubal factors, repeated implantation failure, and recurrent pregnancy loss, along wi…

The authors regret “We are very sorry for the careless printing mistake in the proper alignment of case numbers in Table 2, Table 3 of the mentioned article. These case numbers [(n = 25) and (n = 782)] should be read above the line and belo…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate and present the clinical characteristics of diaphragm endometriosis, to approach the pathogenetic mechanisms, and to answer the question of whether this disease can be considered an extend…

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have suggested that endometriosis could be the result of excessive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is associated with the regulation of essential cellular mechanisms …

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to develop a deep learning model, using the ConvNeXt algorithm, that can effectively differentiate between ovarian endometriosis cysts (OEC) and benign mucinous cystadenomas (MC) by analyzing ultraso…

In this review, a systematic literature search on the effectiveness and complication rates of ultrasound-guided and magnetic resonance-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USg-/MRgHIFU) for abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) was conduc…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and conduct a meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness of dienogest (DNG) in the prolonged conservative drug management of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The findings from this study are intended…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the outcomes between patients undergoing surgery for ruptured endometrioma versus non-ruptured endometrioma. STUDY DESIGN: The study was conducted at Health Sciences University, Etlik Zübeyde Hanım Training and Resear…

Endometriosis is a disease affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. Loss of the tumor suppressor gene AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) occurs in some endometriosis cases. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC-6)…

OBJECTIVE: To identify related factors that affect the ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy in patients with endometriomas. STUDY DESIGN: It was a retrospective cohort study performed in a tertiary-care university hospital…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis diagnostic delays are still encountered due to the lack of a reliable, noninvasive diagnostic test. Besides, menstrual blood is a relatively untapped field for diagnostics, yet it provides a readily accessible sourc…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and clinical significance of HIF-1α and DcR3 in endometriosis by analysing clinical case data. Tissue samples were collected for tissue chip analysis and staining, and human…

BACKGROUND: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a tumor marker overexpressed in ovarian cancer and is commonly utilized to aid with diagnosis of an adnexal mass. HE4 levels vary based on pregnancy, age, menopausal status, and tobacco use. …

Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) represent between 20 and 35 % of premenopausal pneumothorax and is related to endometriosis in 50 % of cases [1,2]. Endometriosis-related non-catamenial pneumothorax (ER non-CP) represent between 6 and 10 % of p…

OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with a significant economic burden. Growing evidence has suggested the role of aberrant gene expression and epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This study a…
