Introduction: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, includes deep endometriosis (DE), which can affect the urinary tract. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare but significant manifestation t…

Purpose: Mutations in Topoisomerase I-binding RS protein (TOPORS) have been previously documented and have been described to result in pathological autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). In our study, we describe the various genoty…

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether continuous wound infiltration (CWI) can replace intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA) and to investigate effective pain control strategies after a single-port access (SP…

Background: Fatigue is mentioned as one of the most significant symptoms of endometriosis. The impact of laparoscopic endometriosis surgeries on fatigue remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the effe…

Background: Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential (STUMP) is a poorly studied neoplasm that does not fulfill the definition of either leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma. STUMP symptoms are indistinguishable from those of benign lesi…

Background: There are many reports about variations in the menstrual cycle after infection with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccination against it. However, data on SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination-related changes in menstruation-associated endometrio…
