Postoperative and long-term outcomes of nerve-sparing segmental rectal resection and complete nodular resection of rectal endometriosis.

Rectal endometriosis is a severe form of deep endometriosis affecting up to 12% of patients, causing significant pain and bowel dysfunction. The optimal surgical approach can be individually tailored based …

Cutting through the pain: The role of the registered nurse first assistant in endometriosis surgery.

Multidisciplinary care for endometriosis often includes surgical diagnosis and management, and within this context, the registered nurse first assistant (RNFA) plays a critical leadership role across the perioperative continuum. Surgical …

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pelvic Endometriosis: Imaging Characteristics and Anatomical Distribution at a Tertiary Care Study.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder, characterized by the presence of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It commonly presents with pelvic pain and infertility and may …

Surgically confirmed severe endometriosis is associated with lower risk of steatotic liver disease: Evidence of estrogen-linked hepatic-reproductive crosstalk.

The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is increasing globally. Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a major cause of infertility. While associations between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome …

Robotic versus laparoscopic enucleation of ovarian endometriotic cysts with pathological analysis of inadvertent follicular loss.

Ovarian endometrioma cystectomy may compromise ovarian reserve through inadvertent excision of ovarian cortex. We compared inadvertent cortical removal between robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic cystectomy using digital pathology. We retrospectively analyzed …

Endometriosis-Associated Infertility: A Review of Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Current Treatment Strategies.

Background: Endometriosis affects 10-15% of reproductive-aged women and is a leading cause of infertility through anatomical, inflammatory, and molecular mechanisms. Objective: This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathophysiology of …
