Ultrasound Sliding Sign Assessed by Transvaginal or Transrectal Route for Predicting Complete Pouch of Douglas Obliteration in Patients with Ovarian Endometriomas: An Exploratory Retrospective Study.
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
Polyphenols as Modulators of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Endometriosis: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Perspectives.
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age individuals, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Current treatments are based primarily on …
Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Computer Vision, and Three-Dimensional Modeling in Fertility-Preserving Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery: A Scoping Review with Narrative Synthesis.
Background and Objectives: Augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and three-dimensional (3D) modeling may be particularly relevant in fertility-preserving gynecologic surgery, where disease must be …
Anogenital distance as a biomarker for endometriosis in adolescents: a prospective, matched case-control study.
To determine whether anogenital distance (AGD), a potential non-invasive biomarker reflecting prenatal androgen exposure, differs between adolescents with laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis and matched controls.
Risk factors for intraoperative adhesion in ovarian endometriosis patients: A retrospective study.
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can cause pelvic adhesions. Severe adhesions increase the difficulty of surgery, resulting in prolonged operation time, increased intraoperative bleeding, and increased complications such …
Letter to the Editor: "Conventional laparoscopic segmental bowel resection with mini-laparotomy specimen extraction compared with Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction (NOSE) procedures in patients with colorectal endometriosis".
Aetiology of pelvic neuropathies in women: a narrative review.
Pelvic neuropathy is an under-recognised contributor to chronic pelvic pain in women, yet a structured overview of its identifiable causes has been lacking. In this narrative review we searched PubMed, …
Progesterone receptor modulators for endometriosis.
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrium-like tissue developing outside the uterine cavity. This condition is oestrogen-dependent and thus is seen primarily during the reproductive years. Owing to their …
