Endometriosis and risk factors in pregnancy, labor and delivery: a case-control study.

Article Synopsis
- - Endometriosis might be thought to improve during pregnancy, but it can actually lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes and complications like gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia.
- - In a study involving 91 women with endometriosis matched to 273 controls, higher rates of cesarean deliveries and postpartum hemorrhage were observed in women with the condition.
- - The findings suggest that while endometriosis is associated with increased risks during pregnancy, it does not necessarily raise the likelihood of needing a cesarean delivery, which is important for obstetricians to consider in their care.
Background: Patients with endometriosis are thought to have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and estimates suggest that 6.2% of them were infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study enrolling 284 women at the Polyclinic of Modena between January 2020 and April 2021.
Background: Surgical removal of deep infiltrating endometriosis is frequently associated with improvement in symptoms. However, because of the complex pathogenesis of pain in endometriosis that includes central sensitization and myofascial dysfunction, symptoms can persist after surgery. The aim of the present observational study is to explore the effectiveness of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in reducing persistent pelvic pain and dyspareunia in a sample of symptomatic women surgically treated for endometriosis.

Previous studies on the feasibility and safety of RALS vs standard laparoscopy (S-LPS) for rectosigmoid endometriosis are limited and reported conflicting data. This study aims to compare S-LPS and RALS in patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis in terms of perioperative surgical and clinical data.
