The occurrence of perineal endometriotic lesions can be explained by mechanical dissemination and transplantation of endometrial cells. Viable decidual endometrial cells are likely to be transplanted into the episiotomy wounds or perineal t…

OBJECTIVES: Endometrioid and clear cell ovarian adenocarcinomas are suspected to derive from ectopic endometrial foci. The aim of the study was to determine PTEN and MMP-2 immunoexpression in endometrial ovarian cysts, endometrioid and clea…

Ovarian cancers pose the greatest challenge for gynecological oncology. They are a heterogeneous, rapidly progressing and highly lethal group of malignancies and their etiology is still poorly understood. Among many hypotheses, explaining t…

OBJECTIVES: To determine and compare the prevalence of insulin resistance and carbohydrate metabolism parameters in women with endometrial pathology MATERIAL AND METHODS: 100 perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding and/or abnor…

Despite significant scientific progress, etiology of endometriosis remains enigmatic. New advances in molecular biology have allowed the use of proteomics in demystifying this puzzling disease. Proteomics is a technology that permits the vi…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the reproductive outcomes of patients after surgical treatment of endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 100 infertile women, aged 21 to 41 years, who underwent surgical t…

Despite many years of extensive investigations and increasing number of studies, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear Accumulated data suggests that disrupted iron metabolism may induce oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity…

Intrauterine device is a popular cost-effective method of contraception known worldwide. It is extremely effective, with pregnancy rates comparable to tubal ligation (5-year cumulative rate varying from 0.5 to 1.1). LNG-IUS increases in pop…

OBJECTIVE: Mechanical factors are responsible for approximately 30% of female infertility and various methods such as transvaginal ultrasonography, hysterosalpingography (HSG), hysteroscopy and laparoscopy have been used to investigate thes…

Endometriosis is a common disease concerning 5-10% of women at reproductive age. It may cause sterility and decrease the quality of life. The best known symptoms are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain and pain related to ovulati…

Ovarian cancers (OC) belong to a heterogeneous group of pathologies and are traditionally classified with regard to histological type and degree of differentiation. OC was hypothesized to originate from ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) and …

Introduction of robotic surgery in the first decade of the 21 century was one of the biggest breakthroughs in surgery since the introduction of anesthesia. For the first time in history the surgeon was placed remotely from the patient and w…

Endometriosis is defined by endometrial glands and stroma outside of the endometrial cavity Three types of endometriosis have been described: peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis and deep infiltrating endometriosis. Endometriosis…

A 25-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for atypical cyclic pain and masses at both ends of a Pfannenstiel incision scar. Ultrasound of the anterior abdominal wall showed two masses. Both masses were hypoechoic, heterogeneous lesions…

OBJECTIVES: To analyse I/D polymorphism of ACE gene in women with diagnosed endometriosis and to determine the correlation of the identified genotypes with the stage of the disease and its clinical picture. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The analys…

INTRODUCTION: Proinflammatory and prooxidative environment in the peritoneal cavity may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Imbalance between reactive oxygen species levels and the antioxidant capacity leads to oxidation of lo…

Vulvovaginal infection is the most common cause of gynecological problems in sexually active women. Knowledge about pharmacological properties of drugs used in treatment recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis allows for tailoring therapy to eac…

UNLABELLED: To present a rare case of spontaneous ectopic pregnancy in a non-communicating heterotopic fallopian tube associated with unicornuate uterus without a rudimentary horn. Case report. SETTING: Tertiary referral obstetrics and gyn…

INTRODUCTION: HOXA genes are receptivity markers and their altered expression can help identify women with implantation defect. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the expression pattern of HOXA11 and expression and locali…

AIM: Endometriosis is characterized by a cyclic hemorrhage within the peritoneal cavity. Accumulating data suggests that iron homeostasis in the peritoneal cavity may be disrupted by endometriosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate iron …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the potential risk factors for adenomyosis in patients with symptomatic uterine leiomyomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The medical charts and histopathology reports of 1499 women who underwent hys…

Physical training is a method supporting pharmacological and surgical treatment by shortening the time of recovery and effectiveness of the entire treatment. Many kinds of such methods, despite their availability remain unpopular and unused…

UNLABELLED: Pathophysiology of endometriosis remains enigmatic despite extensive investigations. Accumulating data suggest that oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity may be implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. AIM: The aim …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate selected clinical, histological and diagnostic factors as prognostics of time and location of endometrial cancer recurrence. We also attempted to design a more efficient follow-up protocols f…

PURPOSE: To establish if and to what extend women find the time of waiting for an elective gynecological operation difficult, how it is manifested and what the conditioning factors are. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The investigation was carried ou…
