Background And Objectives: To compare our initial experience in laparoscopic surgery for ovarian endometriomas performed through an umbilical incision using a single 3-channel port and flexible laparoscopic instrumentation versus traditional laparoscopy.
Methods: This study was conducted in 3 tertiary care referral centers. Since September 2009, we have performed laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in 24 patients diagnosed with ovarian endometriomas.
Objective: To examine the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with endometriosis on the cytoskeleton of metaphase II oocytes and correlate the results with the stage of endometriosis and the duration of infertility.
Design: Prospective-controlled study.
Setting: Center for reproductive medicine at a tertiary-care hospital.
Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in preeclampsia: a systematic review.
Obstet Gynecol Surv
November 2009
Background: Preeclampsia is characterized by increased lipid peroxidation and diminished antioxidant capacity; however, there is no consensus as to the extent of these conditions.
Objective: To assess the association of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status with preeclampsia quantitatively using meta-analysis.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Objective: To study the effect of peritoneal fluid (PF) from healthy women and from women with endometriosis on sperm DNA and its relationship to sperm morphology as assessed by the sperm deformity index (SDI).
Design: Experimental study.
Setting: Research laboratory at an academic hospital.
Objective: To investigate the protective effect of L-carnitine (LC) against deleterious substances present in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of patients with endometriosis, which may affect the oocyte cytoskeleton and embryogenesis.
Design: Experimental study.
Setting: Research embryology laboratory at an academic hospital.
