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 …
• Surgical outcomes in endometriosis vary substantially according to disease phenotype, symptom profile, and reproductive priorities. • Excisional surgery for ovarian endometriomas is associated with lower recurrence rates but carries …
Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is a rare condition classically associated with platinum-based chemotherapy for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. However, post-treatment findings following ovarian immature teratoma may represent a broader …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite significant advances in understanding its pathophysiology, the clinical management of endometriosis remains …
