Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a rare disease characterized by pelvic smooth-muscle nodules of various sizes. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma metastasis; therefore, surgical excision for pathologi…

AIM: We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of dienogest (DNG), a progestational 19-norsteroid, administered for 52 weeks in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 130 patients with adenomyosis received 2 mg of…

AIM: We report the clinical characteristics and experience of the surgical management of ureteral endometriosis in our institution. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with hydronephrosis resulting from ureteral endom…

Endometriosis may be a definitive risk factor for ovarian cancer, the most fatal gynecological cancer. The ability of endometriosis to transform into malignancy, first described by Dr. Sampson in 1925, is considered a rare occurrence, affec…

AIM: The aim of this study was to identify predictive factors for emergent surgical interventions in patients with ovarian endometriomas hospitalized for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). METHODS: We retrospectively identified 22 patients…

AIM: The aim of this study was to report the pregnancy outcomes of women who received different doses of corticosteroid supplementation during labor and delivery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of 102 pregnant women who recei…

AIM: Our objective was to determine the preoperative factors associated with difficulty in total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). METHODS: This retrospective clinical study included 157 patients who underwent TLH for leiomyoma or adenomyos…

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disorder presenting with catamenial pneumothorax, hemothorax, hemoptysis or pulmonary nodules. Bilateral involvement is uncommon, and only a very few cases have been reported in the literature…

AIM: We aimed to evaluate the impact of topical hemostatic sealants and bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic ovarian endometriotic cyst resection on ovarian reserve by comparing the rates of decrease in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). MET…

AIM: Preoperative workup of deep infiltrating endometriosis is limited in the evaluation of extragenital and extrapelvic disease and in distinguishing between the previous surgical scar and active lesion. Histological verification remains t…

AIM: Excision of ovarian endometrioma (OE) may induce the reduction of ovarian reserve. We evaluated pregnancy outcomes after laparoscopic cystectomy (LC), and the pre- and postoperative levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) to consider th…

Abstract Ileocecocolic intussusception due to cecal endometriotic lesion is extremely rare, with symptoms that are often non‐specific, and delay in receiving support is resented by patients. We report the case of a 39‐year‐old woman who pre…

AIM: The present study aims to determine how transvaginal ultrasonography and histopathological examination findings are correlated in a cohort of premenopausal and postmenopausal Turkish women with abnormal uterine bleeding. METHODS: This…

AIM: Although there are various hormone therapies, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, danazol, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system, dienogest, and low-dose estrogen progestin, no consensus opinion has been reached in…

AIM: Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) play an important pathological role in endometriosis. Leuprolide acetate, an analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, is widely used to treat endometriosis; however, the molecular mechanisms involved i…

AIM: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) occurs in 10-30% of women of reproductive age and up to 61% of cirrhotic women. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of endometrial ablation (NovaSure therapy) for AUB in cirrhotic women. METHODS: This …

AIM: To assess and compare the uterine volume and endometrium length between women with and without endometriosis, using pelvic magnetic resonance imaging scans. METHODS: In this case-control study, a total of 75 nulligravid women (aged 20…

AIMS: Endometriosis (EM) is a hormone-dependent chronic inflammatory disease, usually accompanied by a high level of localized estrogen and abnormal levels of cytokines, which are regulated by GATA-3 in lymphocytes. This study aimed to inve…

Endometriomas occur in women of reproductive age and are rare after menopause. A 56-year-old gravida 3 para 2 woman complained of abdominal fullness that had gradually worsened over approximately one year (i.e. 5 years postmenopause). Diagn…

A 58-year-old, postmenopausal, multiparous woman presented with a chief complaint of abnormal vaginal bleeding. Endometrial cytology was evaluated twice, revealing only squamous epithelial cells both times. Degenerated leiomyoma or uterine …

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ovarian detorsion in patients with ovarian torsion. METHODS: From February 2014 to September 2015, a total of 11 patients with ovarian torsion underwent laparosc…

AIM: Few studies have investigated the role of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes in uterine leiomyoma. Therefore, in the current study the distribution of these genotypes in Iranian women and susceptibility to uterine leiomyoma was investigated. M…

AIM: Recent investigations have demonstrated that athletes with high relaxin-2 levels have a high risk of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, while athletes taking oral contraceptives (OC) have low relaxin-2 levels. It has not yet been cla…

AIM: In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in ovarian endometriosis and ovarian tissue from women without endometriosis. Understanding the pathogenesis of the disease could help us design preventa…

Catamenial sciatic radiculopathy resulting from endometriosis is a rare presentation of a common disease in which the pathogenesis of pain is still under debate. A 32-year-old woman presented complaining of infertility, catamenial sciatica,…
