To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of vaginal ethanol sclerotherapy (EST) for ovarian endometriomas, with a focus on recurrence and subsequent fertility outcomes.
How do unoperated ovarian endometriomas affect ovarian response during ovarian stimulation cycles?
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus. Recent data suggest a potential role for endometrial stem/progenitor cells in the development of …
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, also referred to as obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA) is a rare congenital urogenital anomaly resulting from abnormal development of the Müllerian and Wolffian ducts, classically …
Endometriosis frequently involves the ovaries. Surgical management of endometriomas traditionally includes cystectomy, electrocoagulation, or ablative techniques. Ethanol sclerotherapy has emerged as a low-cost, time-efficient alternative. When performed laparoscopically, it allows …
Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease in which immune dysregulation and oxidative stress contribute to pain and impaired quality of life. This study aimed to examine whether antioxidant and inflammatory …
Ovarian endometriomas are commonly assessed according to cyst size and laterality, anatomical features that have long been regarded as indicators of disease severity and potential ovarian compromise. Consequently, these characteristics …
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for adenomyosis (AM). However, its clinical effectiveness in patients with comorbid gynecologic disorders remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate …
Current guidelines recommend laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometrioma (OMA) ≥4 cm before fertility treatment, yet cystectomy inevitably damages ovarian reserve. While recent large-scale studies have confirmed that cystectomy reduces antimüllerian …
