While endometriosis is thought to be a heterogeneous disease, the pathophysiologic heterogeneity across the three visualized lesion macrophenotypes (i.e., superficial peritoneal endometriosis(SPE) lesions, endometriomas, and deep lesions) remains unclear.
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus. Recent data suggest a potential role for endometrial stem/progenitor cells in the development of …
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, also referred to as obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly resulting from abnormal development of the Müllerian and Wolffian ducts, classically …
Cervical agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the female reproductive tract characterized by normal fallopian tubes, an absent cervix, a functioning uterine body, and, occasionally, partial or total …
Endometriosis frequently involves the ovaries. Surgical management of endometriomas traditionally includes cystectomy, electrocoagulation, or ablative techniques. Ethanol sclerotherapy has emerged as a low-cost, time-efficient alternative. When performed laparoscopically, it allows …
Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease in which immune dysregulation and oxidative stress contribute to pain and impaired quality of life. This study aimed to examine whether antioxidant and inflammatory …
To assess whether specific markers of oxidative stress and DNA damage are expressed at higher levels in primordial follicles of patients with endometriomas compared to age-matched controls.
Ovarian endometriomas are commonly assessed according to cyst size and laterality, anatomical features that have long been regarded as indicators of disease severity and potential ovarian compromise. Consequently, these characteristics …
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …
Gossypiboma, the unintentional retention of surgical materials, is a rare but significant postoperative complication. While most of the literature focuses on retained sponges, absorbable hemostatic agents such as Surgicel may …
