Robotic-assisted compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal endometriosis: perioperative outcomes in the context of #Enzian-defined anatomical complexity.

The objective of this work was to compare the perioperative safety and operative efficacy of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) versus conventional laparoscopy surgery (CLS) in women with symptomatic colorectal endometriosis, with …

Robotic versus laparoscopic colectomy for deep infiltrative endometriosis of the bowel: a propensity-matched analysis of US-based hospitals.

Deep infiltrative endometriosis involving the bowel is a complex disease in which the optimal minimally invasive surgical approach remains uncertain, particularly regarding long-term fertility, recurrence, and healthcare utilization. We conducted …

Real-time near-infrared fluorescence-guided identification of the hypogastric nerve during robot-assisted nerve-sparing surgery for deep endometriosis.

Identification and preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves is essential for preventing postoperative functional disorders during surgery for deep endometriosis (DE); however, nerve-sparing surgery in patients with severe fibrosis and cul-de-sac …

Somatic Cancer Driver Mutation Analysis in Endometriosis with Tumor-like Presentations: A Case Series Study.

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis manifests as ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. This lesion can sometimes appear at unusual anatomical sites or within the intestinal tract, growing and mimicking cancer. Such …

A prospective study of non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for Rh status, sex prediction and mtDNA copy number analysis using ddPCR on spent culture media.

Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …

Patient-tailored symptom tracking in endometriosis: a framework to explore disease variability and burden.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by highly individualized, multisystemic symptoms, affecting approximately 10% of females. In this work, we present a long-term prospective study in which 34 …

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Women with Surgically Confirmed Endometriosis: Association with Urethral Ultrasonographic Findings.

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Increasing evidence indicates that lower urinary …

Multifocal Endometriosis with Atypical Papillary Fragments: Appendiceal and Tubal Involvement in an Infertility Patient.

Laparoscopic Assessment of the Ovaries after Resolving the Endometriomas with Ultrasound-guided Transvaginal Ethanol Sclerotherapy.

Ultrasound-guided transvaginal ethanol sclerotherapy belongs to one of the minimally invasive methods for endometrioma management. Nevertheless, some reports suggested a possible link between the method and the presence of pelvic …

Laparoscopic Assisted Neo-Cervico-Vaginal Anastomosis by Rail-Road Procedure In Cervico-Vaginal Atresia.

Cervico-vaginal atresia is a rare entity, difficult to diagnose and treat, with a higher rate of complications. It is classified as type 1b mullerian anomaly per ASRM and subclass C4 …
