Nerve-sparing gynecologic surgery has evolved as a critical advancement in the management of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, aiming to reduce postoperative dysfunction while preserving surgical efficacy. Historically, procedures such as radical …
This study sought to assess the impact of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) prescribed by gynecologists in routine practice on pain, pelvic sensitization, quality of life, and catastrophization scores in …
Pelvic pain has a significant impact on quality of life, especially when associated with benign pelvic diseases, such as endometriosis or chronic conditions leading to persistent discomfort. A substantial proportion …
To demonstrate a reproducible approach to the laparoscopic excision of endometriosis involving the obturator nerve.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue, commonly affecting pelvic structures. Rarely, it occurs in extrapelvic locations, mimicking other pathologies and posing diagnostic challenges.
Pain in endometriosis involves not only nociceptive but also neuropathic and neurogenic components, reflecting its complex nature. Histamine, a biogenic amine, has emerged as a critical mediator connecting inflammation and …
Although the benefit of nerve-sparing surgery for deep endometriosis (DE) with postoperative voiding dysfunction has been demonstrated, it requires a high level of surgical skill to accurately remove endometriosis lesions …
Deep endometriosis (DE) frequently affects pelvic organs and may impair urinary function through both direct involvement and surgical nerve disruption. Minimally invasive excision is the standard treatment for symptomatic DE, …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly understood mechanisms. Inflammatory proteins are hypothesized to play a causal role, but evidence remains limited. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study …
To demonstrate a standardized and reproducible technique utilizing intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) with real-time nerve mapping to improve the safety of deep infiltrating endometriosis surgery and facilitate the preservation of …
