Assessing the female urogenital-rectal axis microbiome: focus on endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure.
Emerging evidence suggests microbial dysbiosis may contribute to gynaecological pathologies, including endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The vaginal microbiome is well-characterised, with Lactobacillus-dominance as a hallmark of health, yet …
Robotic-assisted compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery for colorectal endometriosis: perioperative outcomes in the context of #Enzian-defined anatomical complexity.
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 …
Robotic versus laparoscopic colectomy for deep infiltrative endometriosis of the bowel: a propensity-matched analysis of US-based hospitals.
Deep infiltrative endometriosis involving the bowel is a complex disease in which the optimal minimally invasive surgical approach remains uncertain, particularly regarding long-term fertility, recurrence, and healthcare utilization. We conducted …
Long term outcomes of surgical management of rectal endometriosis: 10-year follow-up of patients enrolled in a randomized trial.
Data on long-term outcomes of surgical management of rectal endometriosis are scarce and generally provided by cohort studies where choice of surgical technique is based on various uncontrolled factors with …
Endometriosis in the cecum diagnosed via forward-viewing endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition with a 19G fine-needle biopsy needle: a case report.
Subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the lower gastrointestinal tract are rare, and diagnosis and treatment of colorectal SELs are often challenging. Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is useful for minimally …
Postoperative and long-term outcomes of nerve-sparing segmental rectal resection and complete nodular resection of rectal endometriosis.
Rectal endometriosis is a severe form of deep endometriosis affecting up to 12% of patients, causing significant pain and bowel dysfunction. The optimal surgical approach can be individually tailored based …
