Endometriosis is a highly prevalent and morbid condition in women of reproductive age, often leading to well-known complications such as infertility, intestinal adhesions, and severe chronic pelvic pain. There is …
Deep endometriosis affecting the lateral pelvic structures (LPS) is a complex and often underdiagnosed manifestation of the disease. The authors review the anatomic features of the LPS and underscore the …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by chronic pelvic inflammation, but the etiology of this inflammation remains poorly understood. The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), whereby senescent cells secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a …
To estimate the incidence of reoperation after minimally invasive surgery for endometriosis and to explore differences according to disease subtype, surgical technique, hysterectomy, postoperative hormonal therapy, and follow-up duration.
