Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, leading to pelvic pain and infertility. It affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive …
In Japan, the microwave endometrial ablation system (MEA, Microsulis PLC, Waterlooville, UK) is the most widely used device for endometrial ablation and is considered a minimally invasive, uterus-preserving treatment for …
Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs …
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound using the sliding sign for detecting pelvic adhesions and its correlation with operative time in laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic conditions.
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 …
Rectosigmoid endometriosis is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction and may closely mimic colorectal malignancy, particularly when imaging findings are nonspecific. We report the case of a 39-year-old woman who …
Background: Endometriosis is a complex condition that impairs women's quality of life and reproductive potential. Its diagnosis remains significant challenge for clinicians. The aim of the study was to investigate …
Endometriosis can impair natural reproduction through multiple mechanisms, including distortion of pelvic anatomy and chronic peritoneal inflammation. On this basis, surgical treatment might be reasonably expected to benefit. However, clinical …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with frequent recurrence. Statins, due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, may help control disease progression, but comparative data on local administration are limited. …
