Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare but potentially devastating manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis, often remaining asymptomatic until irreversible renal damage occurs. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman …
Background Endometriosis often requires surgery, especially in deep-infiltrating cases unresponsive to medical therapy. This study presents our institutional experience with robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) for endometriosis in Indian patients. Methodology This …
Excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis in the parametrium involving pelvic nerves can be challenging and requires good anatomical knowledge and surgical strategy (1). Based on our experience, we have identified …
To present a laparoscopic nerve-sparing technique for the excision of a retrorectal fibrotic lesion involving the sacral roots (S2-S4), with additional dissection of the lumbosacral trunk based on the patient's …
Symptom Profiles and Anatomical Distribution of Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis Cureus
Endometriosis is known to affect women worldwide, and most commonly involves chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a condition that may involve the bladder, ureter, and …
This study aims to investigate the differences in response to dienogest (DNG) therapy among patients with 3 different phenotypes of endometriosis: ovarian endometrioma (OMA), superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), and deep …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disease manifesting in three distinct phenotypes: superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified …
Deep endometriosis causes significant pain which adversely affects quality of life and utilises healthcare and wider societal resources. Laparoscopic excision of endometriosis has shown to improve pain symptoms in observational …
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and, in particular, bowel endometriosis stand out for their complexity. While surgery for bowel endometriosis has proven to be effective, there is a lack of …
