Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue growth, causing pain and infertility. Diagnosis is often delayed due to reliance on imaging and invasive methods, highlighting the …
As the aging population grows, the proportion of postmenopausal women is also increasing. Menopause can cause various symptoms and reduce quality of life. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common …
Differentiating superficial endometriosis from soft tissue tumor is important because these two conditions required quite different therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological imaging findings …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of those with infertility. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like …
The Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) is a preoperative MRI-based score initially validated to predict surgical outcomes in patients undergoing laparoscopic treatment for deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE). Its applicability in …
A mural solid component (SC) within an endometrioma (ovarian endometriotic cyst), demonstrating internal vascularity or increased fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET), is considered a characteristic finding suggestive …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
To demonstrate a step-by-step technique of intraoperative intraureteric indocyanine green (ICG) administration under cystoscopic guidance to localize intraoperative ureters under near-infrared fluorescence imaging during laparoscopic deep endometriosis surgery. The standardization …
Fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) has recently gained widespread use in gynecologic surgery and is considered a useful method for facilitation of ureteric identification and dissection during deep endometriosis …
Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
