To estimate the incidence of reoperation after minimally invasive surgery for endometriosis and to explore differences according to disease subtype, surgical technique, hysterectomy, postoperative hormonal therapy, and follow-up duration.
Endometriosis is frequently associated with infertility and postoperative recurrence, and fertility-sparing surgery may be considered when symptoms, endometriomas, adhesions, or deep infiltrating disease are unlikely to be adequately managed with …
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of concurrent transvaginal ovarian puncture for oocyte retrieval and ethanol sclerotherapy of ovarian endometriomas (eSCLT) during controlled ovarian stimulation.
The management of endometriomata remains a challenge, with current options associated with either high recurrence rates or significant reduction in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy has been suggested as a treatment …
Deep endometriosis (DE) involving the bowel presents a complex management challenge. While surgery is often emphasized, limited evidence exists on long-term outcomes of conservative (non-surgical) management. This study aimed to …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
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 …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that causes debilitating pain and significantly impairs quality of life. Due to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, vitamin D has been proposed as …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory and estrogen-dependent disease in which oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and lesion-supportive microenvironmental signaling contribute to lesion development. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a glutathione-replenishing and redox-modulating agent, has …
