Does surgical management of ovarian endometriomas improve in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)?
A 44-year-old woman with biopsy-proven endometriosis underwent 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT. MRI revealed bilateral ovarian endometriomas, uterine adenomyosis, and deep pelvic endometriotic lesions. FAPI PET/CT demonstrated concordant uptake in deep infiltrating lesions …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingly …
Lower Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels have been observed in women with ovarian endometriomas (OMA) undergoing combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) therapy. However, the extent and timing of AMH recovery after CHC …
Endometriosis is known as a chronic inflammatory disease. This study investigates the differences in the inflammatory response between endometriomas and benign ovarian cysts during the preoperative and postoperative periods.
Objective The objective of this study was to compare the surgical approaches and postoperative outcomes of endometriosis surgeries performed by different obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) subspecialties: minimally invasive gynecologic surgery …
Endometriomas may adversely affect fertility; however, the necessity of its surgical management is a controversial subject. The aim of this study was to compare the time to conception, mode of …
Endometriomas affect up to 44% of women with endometriosis and are associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced ovarian reserve. Diagnosis and management are clinically challenging, requiring a nuanced …
In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum NGAL, MMP-9 and the MMP-9/NGAL ratio, which are inflammatory markers used for the diagnosis and follow-up of some diseases, can be …
This systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42024588171) compared the effectiveness of surgery followed by IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with direct IVF/ICSI (i.e. without previous surgery) on the reproductive outcomes of infertile …
