To report the pain relief and procedure-related outcomes of percutaneous cryoablation (CA) of painful endometriosis deposits in unusual anatomic locations.
Over 75% of failed pregnancies involve implantation defects. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (GRB2) is an adaptor protein involved in signal transduction and cell communication. Here we show that the …
Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to …
Abdominal wall endometriosis consists of endometrial tissue between the peritoneum and the abdominal wall. The established treatment involves amenorrheic drugs-not always successful and tolerated-or invasive surgery. In this scenario, minimally …
Background: Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Beyond medical treatment, surgical intervention is also a viable consideration. However, current guidelines do not clearly indicate …
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-like glands and stroma outside of the uterus. There are three types of endometriotic lesions: superficial or peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometrioma, and deep …
Endometrioma are endometriotic deposits within the ovary. Laparoscopic management of endometriomas is associated with shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and decreased hospital costs compared with laparotomy. The previous version of …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) affects about one in four women globally and has a variety of etiologies, including gynecologic causes. Interventional radiology (IR) offers minimally invasive treatment options for several …
To investigate over 10 years the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation for the treatment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE).
Percutaneous cryoablation (PCA), having shown effectiveness in treating liver, lung, prostate, breast, and kidney tumors, is now gaining attention for the treatment of soft tissue tumors. PCA functions by freezing …
