Intestinal Endometriosis, A Challenge for Gastroenterologists: A Narrative Review.

Endometriosis is a medical condition where endometrial tissue and glands are found outside the uterine cavity: on ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, rectovaginal septum, bladder, bowel and more. The ectopic tissue is …

Incidental Primary Ovarian Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in Endometriosis Presenting As Adenomyosis-Related Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

Adenomyosis often coexists with endometriosis, which primarily involves the ovary and can lead to endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancers, most commonly endometrioid and clear‑cell carcinomas. Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) arising in …

The vaginal microbiome drives endometriosis pain.

Despite being one of two cardinal disease symptoms, endometriosis pain is poorly understood. Using a validated mouse model, we demonstrate that endometriosis-associated vaginal dysbiosis is sufficient to induce pain in …

Nuck canal cyst: use of immunohistochemistry to reveal vestigial endometriosis hidden within mural granulation tissue.

A case of a Nuck canal cyst (NCC) associated with vestigial endometriosis is presented. An ultrasound scan revealed a multicystic sac in the right groin of a 42-year-old woman who …

Natural Pregnancy Following Oocyte Retrieval in a Luteal-Phase Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS) Protocol With Concurrent Blastocyst Cryopreservation: A Case Report.

Ovarian stimulation is used in assisted reproductive technology to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy. Luteal-phase stimulation with progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) is a practical approach, as it involves oral medication …

Detection of bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria and outcomes during clinical gynaecological conditions using qPCR: A retrospective cohort study.

Endometriosis, chronic endometritis (CE), unexplained infertility (UI), and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are gynecological conditions frequently associated with inflammation and alterations in the endometrial microbiome. The presence of bacterial vaginosis-associated …

Anatomic subtype-specific causal effects of endometriosis on ovarian cancer: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

While epidemiological studies have associated endometriosis with ovarian cancer risk, the causal relationships across anatomic subtypes and histotypes remain undefined. Using two-sample Mendelian randomization with 84 genetic instruments (F-statistic = …

Comment on "The Diagnostic Accuracy of Transvaginal Ultrasound for Detection of Ureteral Involvement in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis".

Intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound: a novel approach to refine surgical strategy in rectosigmoid endometriosis surgery.

To describe a standardized intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (IOTVUS) technique for assessing rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to explore its potential advantages in guiding real-time surgical decision-making.

Correlation of Sonographic and Intraoperative Findings of Deep-Infiltrating Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 5%-10% of reproductive-aged women. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is increasingly used to diagnose deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study assesses the sonographic accuracy of …
