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 …
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.
Endometriosis is frequently associated with infertility and postoperative recurrence, and fertility-sparing surgery may be considered when symptoms, endometriomas, adhesions, or deep infiltrating disease are unlikely to be adequately managed with …
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is increasingly utilized worldwide, yet concerns remain regarding its potential association with breast and gynecological malignancies and the safety of fertility-preservation strategies in cancer survivors. Ovarian …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and up to 40% of women with infertility, with a significant impact on quality of life …
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of concurrent transvaginal ovarian puncture for oocyte retrieval and ethanol sclerotherapy of ovarian endometriomas (eSCLT) during controlled ovarian stimulation.
The management of endometriomata remains a challenge, with current options associated with either high recurrence rates or significant reduction in ovarian reserve. Ethanol sclerotherapy has been suggested as a treatment …
Endometriosis may rarely present with atypical manifestations that closely mimic intra-abdominal malignancy or severe pelvic sepsis, resulting in significant diagnostic uncertainty. We present two contrasting cases of presumed severe endometriosis …
Deep endometriosis (DE) involving the bowel presents a complex management challenge. While surgery is often emphasized, limited evidence exists on long-term outcomes of conservative (non-surgical) management. This study aimed to …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
