Current Evidence and Emerging Directions in Endometriosis Pharmacotherapy: A Systematic Review of Recent Advances.

Background: Endometriosis affects 190 million women worldwide, so there is a need for accessible and more comprehensive knowledge regarding the pharmacotherapeutic options that can be offered to patients. This systematic …

Ultrasound Sliding Sign Assessed by Transvaginal or Transrectal Route for Predicting Complete Pouch of Douglas Obliteration in Patients with Ovarian Endometriomas: An Exploratory Retrospective Study.

Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …

Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, Computer Vision, and Three-Dimensional Modeling in Fertility-Preserving Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery: A Scoping Review with Narrative Synthesis.

Background and Objectives: Augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), and three-dimensional (3D) modeling may be particularly relevant in fertility-preserving gynecologic surgery, where disease must be …

Risk factors for intraoperative adhesion in ovarian endometriosis patients: A retrospective study.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can cause pelvic adhesions. Severe adhesions increase the difficulty of surgery, resulting in prolonged operation time, increased intraoperative bleeding, and increased complications such …

Letter to the Editor: "Conventional laparoscopic segmental bowel resection with mini-laparotomy specimen extraction compared with Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction (NOSE) procedures in patients with colorectal endometriosis".

The microbiome-inflammasome axis in endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities from an immunological perspective.

Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-skewed activation in …

Chronic abdominal pain and dyspareunia in endometriosis: pain therapy with a nerve and muscle stimulation device with biofeedback function.

Endometriosis (EM) is frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and dyspareunia, often linked to secondary pelvic floor dysfunction and hypertonicity. To evaluate whether the use of an intravaginal electromyography …

Functional outcomes after laparoscopic colorectal resection with natural orifice specimen extraction and conventional specimen extraction for deep endometriosis: a 24-month prospective cohort study.

To assess changes in bowel function, pain symptoms, and endometriosis-related quality of life over 24 months after laparoscopic colorectal resection with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) and conventional abdominal specimen …

Integrative analysis and experiment validation of SLC12A8 as a biomarker for the malignant transition from endometriosis to endometriosis associated ovarian cancer.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory, estrogen‑dependent benign gynecological disorder. A subset of patients with EM may subsequently develop endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), implying a biological continuum between these two …

Transperineal Ultrasound in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Systematic Review.

This systematic review aimed to explore the application and effectiveness of transperineal ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for evaluating pelvic floor musculature (PFM) dysfunction in patients with chronic pelvic pain …
