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 …
The hidden anomaly: Intrauterine adhesions and implications for reproductive medicine Open Access Government
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 …
Salmonella-induced tubo-ovarian abscesses (TOAs) in patients with ovarian endometriomas and coexisting adenomyosis are rare and surgically challenging due to dense adhesions. We report a woman in her late 30s presenting …
Postoperative adhesions and inflammation remain major challenges following endometriosis surgery. Human amniotic membrane gel (HAG) has emerged as a potential therapeutic strategy with both anti-adhesive and anti-inflammatory properties. This study …
Chronic endometritis (CE) is a plasma cell-related endometrial inflammatory phenotype that may compromise fertility, while endometriosis (EM) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. However, whether EM is associated with CD138-defined CE …
Spontaneous ovarian endometrioma rupture typically presents with acute abdominal pain, a condition often complicated by tissue edema and pelvic adhesions that increase surgical difficulty. This study aims to evaluate the …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent benign inflammatory disorder characterized by the implantation of active endometrial tissue (glands or stroma) outside the uterus, with pelvic adhesions as a core hallmark. Omental endometriosis …
Introduction Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility and affects reproductive outcomes through multiple mechanisms, including pelvic adhesions, altered pelvic anatomy, and inflammatory changes. The Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) was …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe form of endometriosis that rarely undergoes malignant transformation, and when it does, diagnosis is often difficult. Here, we report two cases of long-standing …
