Laparoscopic discoid resection represents a conservative surgical alternative to segmental resection in the treatment of rectal deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This technique allows excision of infiltrative lesions while preserving rectal …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis predominantly affects the posterior pelvic compartment and often requires complex surgical procedures, which are associated with a significant risk of postoperative complications. Limited evidence is available regarding …
Cesarean section has become a frequent mode of delivery in the last few decades. While generally regarded as a safe procedure, it is not free of potential complications, often requiring …
Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Small bowel herniation through a Caesarean section wound is exceedingly rare and may present with erythema and induration clinically indistinguishable from superficial wound infection, risking dangerous diagnostic delay. A case …
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of temporary protective loop ileostomy (PLI) on postoperative complications, bowel function, and quality of life (QoL) in women undergoing rectal surgery for deep …
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay …
Here, we report a case of catamenial pneumothorax that occurred during endometriosis treatment. A 46-year-old woman presented with a history of right pneumothorax. At 43 years of age, the patient …
This case report describes a rare presentation of primary periumbilical endometriosis, also known as Villar's nodule, highlighting the diagnostic difficulties and the importance of maintaining clinical suspicion. A 37‑year‑old woman …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease including aberrant local steroidogenesis, inflammation, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and prostaglandin-mediated pain. Given the elevated adrenergic receptor expression in endometriotic lesions and the potential …
