To describe a standardized intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (IOTVUS) technique for assessing rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to explore its potential advantages in guiding real-time surgical decision-making.
Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease progression. …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 5%-10% of reproductive-aged women. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is increasingly used to diagnose deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study assesses the sonographic accuracy of …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have accounted for only a fraction of its high heritability, indicating the …
Gynecologic postoperative adhesions (GPOA) remain an under-appreciated source of morbidity despite advances in minimally invasive surgery. Adhesions forming after myomectomy, extensive endometriosis excision, repeat caesarean section, or hysteroscopic adhesiolysis develop …
Many women with endometriosis turn to digital sources for information. Meanwhile, large language models (LLMs) appear capable of offering health advice. This study aimed to evaluate the potential in answering …
Endometrial regeneration is a cornerstone of reproductive health, with the extracellular matrix (ECM) playing a pivotal role in tissue repair, regeneration, and fertility restoration. Dysregulated ECM remodeling is at the …
Uterine artery pseudoaneurysm (UAP) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that can result in severe hemorrhage. Due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, it is often misdiagnosed, leading to delays …
Infective endocarditis (IE) following transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure is a rare but life-threatening complication. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman who developed device-related IE five …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine corpus, often clinically presenting with pain and/or infertility. Ectopic lesions exhibit features characteristic …
