OBJECTIVE: Two years after the French guidelines, the objective was to assess the feasibility and efficiency of ultrasound-guided trans-vaginal drainage of tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOA) and to study the responsible germs. MATERIAL AND METHO…

BACKGROUND: Fertiloscopy is a recent technique designed to explore the tubo-ovarian axis in unexplained infertility. It is a simple outpatient technique, allowing to perform operative procedures, but its position relative to laparoscopy is …

OBJECTIVES: To assess interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and its inhibitory soluble interleukin-1 receptor type II (IL-1sRII) levels into the serum of patients with various forms of endometriosis and normal women, and investigate the correlation with d…

BACKGROUND: Many studies have investigated the association between glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype and the risk of endometriosis. However, the effect of the GSTM1 null genotype on endometriosis is still unclear because of…

Lower urinary tract disorders in case of deep endometriosis are common (up to 50% of patients), although often masked by pelvic pain. They result from damage to the pelvic autonomic nervous system by direct infiltration of these structures …

Endometriosis is considered as a tumor-like lesion under the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of ovarian tumors. Data from large cohort and case-control studies indicate that patients with a history of endometriosis have an in…

Ovarian cysts presumed benign can be organic or functional. Their prevalence is estimated between 14 and 18% in postmenopausal women and around 7% in asymptomatic women of childbearing age. Their incidence during pregnancy is between 0.2 an…

Medical treatment of functional cysts and endometriomas, and the risk of developing functional ovarian cysts in different therapeutic situations are assessed. The available literature regarding the treatment of functional cysts is limited b…

We reviewed the studies about fertility-sparing in young patient presenting a benign ovarian tumor. It appears that more than the histologic nature of the ovarian cysts, it is the surgical treatment of the cyst which may decrease fertility.…

The surgical management of presumed benign ovarian tumors (PBOT) must ensure complete removal of the cyst, reduce the risk of recurrence (especially in case of endometrioma), prevent any risk of tumor dissemination, and must preserve health…

Benign ovarian tumors can be separated in three groups: teratoma, unilocular cyst and endometrioma. Laparoscopy should always be preferred for the surgical approach. Before menopause, conservative treatment should be preferred apart from pr…

Endometriosis concerns 10% of childbearing age women and frequently affects the digestive tract. We report here the case of a 31-year-old patient presenting a severe occlusive syndrome while being treated with GnRH agonist, within the frame…

Although considerable progresses were made in the field of medically assisted procreation, surgery keeps its place in the therapeutic armamentarium of female infertility. Indeed, its results are very interesting, both in its tubal, myometri…

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to summarize the existing literature on the benefice-risk balance for ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy for benign disease in post menopausal women not at high risk for ovarian cancer. METHODS: W…

Recurrence of deep endometriosis remains a major issue in the management of endometriosis. The main cause for recurrence appears to be an incomplete excisional surgery. Therefore, the goal of the primary surgery should be the complete resec…
