Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder that may extend beyond the pelvis to involve the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly the rectosigmoid and, less frequently, the small bowel. Although often asymptomatic, …
We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups …
Pain is the primary symptom of endometriosis and may progress into a chronic, acyclic condition driven by neuroinflammatory mechanisms, leading to neuropathic and ultimately nociplastic pain. Central sensitization, a form …
Endometriosis (EMT) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) disproportionately affect middle-aged and older women, where overlapping symptoms (e.g., chronic pelvic pain, bloating) and shared inflammatory mechanisms may drive comorbidity. However, large-scale …
To evaluate whether the use of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence impacts anastomotic safety and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing bowel endometriosis resection.
Endometriosis is known to affect women worldwide, and most commonly involves chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a condition that may involve the bladder, ureter, and …
Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare complication of endometriosis that has sparsely been described in the literature. It involves the development of a thick gray-white fibrotic membrane, which partially or …
Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience distinct physiologic and clinical challenges across their lifespan. In childhood and adolescence, early exposure to corticosteroids, chronic inflammation, and malnutrition may impair pubertal …
Nerve-sparing gynecologic surgery has evolved as a critical advancement in the management of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, aiming to reduce postoperative dysfunction while preserving surgical efficacy. Historically, procedures such as radical …
