Objectives: Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) offers significant benefits in hysterectomy, including reduced postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. However, the cost and accessibility of surgical ports …
Minimally invasive endometriosis surgery can be done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. The choice of modality of this procedure could impact postprocedure pain levels and the need for opioids to …
The advent of a single port robotic platform offers many potential improvements compared with single incision laparoscopy for both patients and surgeons. However, the technology will likely be prohibitively expensive …
The case concerns a forty-year-old patient with adenomyosis, metrorrhagia, and typical sciatic pain during menstruation. After the insertion of an LNG-IUD, the bleeding stopped, but the sciatic pain persisted. MRI …
Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. It affects ~10% of reproductive-aged individuals and is associated with dysmenorrhea and infertility. Although …
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare clinical condition first described over seven decades ago. It typically occurs within 72 hours before or after menstruation and is most frequently observed in women …
Damage control surgery (DCS) is a staged surgical strategy for rapid control of life-threatening bleeding, followed by physiological stabilization and delayed definitive repair. Abdomino-pelvic packing (APP)-placing compressive material within the …
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) frequently affects the posterior pelvic compartment, where accurate non-invasive imaging is essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. Aim: This systematic review evaluates the diagnostic performance …
To investigate the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting and classifying adhesions between pelvic organs caused by endometriosis, comparing MRI findings to those obtained by laparoscopy.
Endometriosis is a prevalent condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility. Diagnosing endometriosis typically requires invasive procedures like laparoscopy. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) …
