Diaphragmatic endometriosis: a practical radiologic guide to diagnosis, mapping, and multidisciplinary surgical planning.

Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE) is a frequently underdiagnosed manifestation of deep endometriosis (DE), typically occurring in patients with advanced pelvic disease. Accurate preoperative detection remains challenging, as standard laparoscopy may overlook …

MRI-based morphology of ovarian clear cell carcinomas.

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is a distinct histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer characterized by unique biological behavior and heterogeneous clinicopathological features. In contrast with other epithelial ovarian malignancies, …

Salivary miRNAs in the diagnosis of endometriosis An invited narrative scientific literature review, commissioned by European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG).

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition, the diagnosis of which has been made for many years through invasive procedures, such as laparoscopy. In recent years, non-invasive methods have been proposed, …

Catamenial Pneumothorax as an Underrecognized Manifestation of Thoracic Endometriosis: A 25-Year Single-Center Experience.

Objectives: Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare but clinically relevant cause of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) in women and is associated with high recurrence rates. We hypothesized that CP is underrecognized …

Does size matter? Expectations and limitations in imaging diagnosis of deep endometriosis?

A multi-state survival model to identify risk factors for lethal ovarian cancer.

Given primary prevention strategies for ovarian cancer, such as surgery and medications, have inherent risks, identifying those at high risk of lethal ovarian cancer is critical. We examined pre-diagnosis factors …

Cutting through the pain: The role of the registered nurse first assistant in endometriosis surgery.

Multidisciplinary care for endometriosis often includes surgical diagnosis and management, and within this context, the registered nurse first assistant (RNFA) plays a critical leadership role across the perioperative continuum. Surgical …
