This study provides a comprehensive analysis of surgically managed thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) patients, primarily assessing whether diaphragmatic reconstruction is associated with lower postoperative recurrence. Secondarily, the study aims to …
Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Although it typically presents within the pelvis, extragenital manifestations are well documented with gastrointestinal (GI) …
Small bowel herniation through a Caesarean section wound is exceedingly rare and may present with erythema and induration clinically indistinguishable from superficial wound infection, risking dangerous diagnostic delay. A case …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder that is generally localized in the pelvis affecting up to 10% of women in the reproductive age. Extra-pelvic locations are estimated to 9% of …
Laparoscopic retrograde hysterectomy (LRH) represents an innovative minimally invasive approach for managing complex pelvic pathology where conventional techniques are contraindicated. This review synthesizes current evidence regarding its techniques, indications, and …
Endometriosis is a chronic hormone-responsive disorder linked to infertility, usually characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the pelvis that disrupts local homeostasis. Advances in single-cell "omic" methods have …
Beyond the Pelvis: Catamenial Pneumothorax in a Patient with Severe Endometriosis Cureus
Endometriosis involves ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus, commonly in the pelvis but sometimes affecting organs like the urinary tract, gastrointestinal system, and respiratory tract. Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is …
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, …
Müllerian anomalies complicated by extrapelvic endometriosis are uncommon, and herniation of Müllerian remnants into the inguinal canal is exceptionally rare. These complex presentations pose significant diagnostic challenges arising from intricate …
