Adenomyosis is a disorder of uterus in which endometrial glands and stroma are present within the uterine musculature. The main clinical manifestations are dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia. Adenomyosis has a great impact on both the quality of …

INTRODUCTION: The objectives were to establish the prevalence of persistent vaginal bleeding following subtotal hysterectomy, to analyze the effect of intraoperative cervical treatment on the occurrence of persistent vaginal bleeding, and t…

INTRODUCTION: Optimal surgical treatment of rectovaginal endometriosis remains a controversial topic. The objective of this study was to evaluate long-term postoperative outcomes after rectal shaving or colorectal resection for rectovaginal…

Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Aberrant progesterone signaling in the endometrium plays a significant role in impaired decidualization and establishment of ectopic endometr…

Endometriosis is characterized by the growth of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, most commonly on the pelvic peritoneum and ovaries. Although it may be asymptomatic in some women, in others it can cause debilitating pain, inferti…

INTRODUCTION: We identified risk factors for trachelectomy after supracervical hysterectomy (SCH) due to persistence of symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective case-control study in a university-affiliated hospital. Seventeen women…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriomas are present in up to 44% of all women with endometriosis and have a detrimental effect on fertility. However, it is controversial whether endometriomas should be surgically removed before assisted reproduction te…

INTRODUCTION: Operative morbidity of laparoscopic myomectomy largely relates to the potential for intraoperative blood loss. We sought to determine whether blood loss varies according to the menstrual cycle. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrosp…

INTRODUCTION: To study the trends in incidence rate, type and surgical treatment, and patient characteristics of surgically verified endometriosis during 1987-2012. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a register-based cohort study. We identified…

This review includes an analysis of the clinical studies evaluating reproductive outcome and adenomyosis, and a review of studies on reproductive outcome and surgical treatment options for adenomyosis. Strict diagnostic criteria and classif…

IntroductionScheduling of ovum pickup only on weekdays may result in cases of apparently suboptimal timing for human chorionic gonadotropin and ovum pickup. This study aimed to assess whether live-birth rates were reduced in women with a po…

Endometriosis is a common disease with severe impact on quality of life but its etiology is still poorly understood and diagnosis and adequate treatment is frequently delayed. In this theme issue of AOGS we have included reviews and origina…

INTRODUCTION: Although endometriosis is a benign disease, it shares some features with cancers, such as invasiveness and the potential to metastasize. This study sought to investigate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition status in human en…

INTRODUCTION: The aim of our study was to compare the stage and severity of endometriosis in fertile and infertile women with congenital uterine malformations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed an observational study from September 2007 t…

The painful symptoms of endometriosis were described as early as 1690 1, but more than 300 years later there is still no definitive treatment or prevention for a disease that affects an estimated 6–10% of women of reproductive-age 2. This e…

Endometriosis is a common condition in women of reproductive age. In addition to pain, endometriosis may also reduce fertility. The causes of infertility in women with endometriosis may range from anatomical distortions due to adhesions and…

INTRODUCTION: Prevalence of planned pregnancies varies between countries but is often measured in a dichotomous manner. The aim of this study was to investigate to what level pregnant women had planned their pregnancies and whether pregnanc…

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate learning curves and short-term outcomes following laparoscopic surgery for early endometrial cancer in women of different body mass index (BMI) classes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: D…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis affects up to 15% of women of reproductive age. There is an obvious lack of studies dealing with morphological parameters of oocyte morphology in endometriosis patients in assisted reproduction. One aim of the st…

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this review was to evaluate the published literature on epidemiologic risk factors for epithelial ovarian cancer among women with a diagnosis of endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic literature se…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of dyspareunia, therefore this chronic gynecologic disease should be considered as a major cause of sexual dysfunctions. The aims of this study were to review the literature o…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations following ovarian cyst surgery, and predictors of these changes. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study with follow up at 3 and 6 months. SETTING: University…

INTRODUCTION: A negative "sliding sign" during transvaginal sonography (TVS) is associated with pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at laparoscopy in women with suspected endometriosis. The aim of the current study was to develop and valida…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the expression of oxytocin receptor in the uterine junctional zone of the fundus and isthmus in the proliferative and secretory phases in women with and without adenomyosis. DESIGN: Experimental prospective clinical s…
