Intraoperative ureteral injury, although uncommon, can result in significant morbidity and medicolegal consequences, particularly during complex gynecologic procedures such as endometriosis excision and prolapse repair. Conventional ureteral identification techniques, including …
Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a disorder of impaired reproductive immune tolerance rather than solely an endocrine disease. Although previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the number of regulatory …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, and heterogeneous gynecologic disorder associated with persistent pain, infertility, and substantial impairment in quality of life (QoL), necessitating individualized and evidence-based management. This narrative review …
Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …
Adenomyosis is a prevalent disorder of the archimetra, historically conflated with endometriosis but possessing a unique pathobiological trajectory. This review synthesises current molecular evidence to propose a unified mechanistic framework …
Endometriosis affects 6%-10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and impaired quality of life. The endometriosis fertility index (EFI) predicts spontaneous pregnancy postoperatively, …
Oocyte quality, a critical determinant of female reproductive potential, experiences a progressive decline with age, largely driven by the cumulative effects of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review thoroughly …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Sexual pain disorders impair intimacy and quality of life. While clinicians routinely recommend sexual position modifications, evidence is scattered in gynecology, urology, physiotherapy, sex therapy, and biomechanics.
Bowel endometriosis is often considered an indication for extensive surgical management, including colorectal resection, in women undergoing surgery for concomitant endometriosis at other sites. However, several contemporary studies show little …
