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 …
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 …
Implantation failure remains a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART) and is a significant contributor to infertility in women with endometriosis. Beyond mechanical distortion and ovarian dysfunction, increasing evidence …
Ovarian endometriosis is a common manifestation of endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Although transvaginal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging are central to diagnosis, challenging cases may benefit …
BackgroundTransitioning to parenthood is stressful for relationships. Women with endometriosis face several health challenges, which may further strain their relationships when they become parents. However, it remains uncertain whether this …
Melatonin has evolved from its classical role as a pineal-derived circadian regulator to a molecule increasingly recognized for its mitochondrial and cytoprotective functions. This review examines the molecular mechanisms and …
The objective of this work was to compare the perioperative safety and operative efficacy of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) versus conventional laparoscopy surgery (CLS) in women with symptomatic colorectal endometriosis, with …
Deep infiltrative endometriosis involving the bowel is a complex disease in which the optimal minimally invasive surgical approach remains uncertain, particularly regarding long-term fertility, recurrence, and healthcare utilization. We conducted …
Presence of embryo-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in spent culture medium (SCM) represents a promising non-invasive alternative to the conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The present study evaluated the feasibility of …
