Visual-Numeric Endometriosis Scoring System (VNESS) for mapping surgical findings: A validation study.

Background: Several endometriosis classification systems have been proposed and published but the search for a universal language that communicates the complexity, laterality and severity of this disease continues. The authors introduce the Visual-Numeric Endometriosis Scoring System. VNESS is a novel system for describing surgical findings in each compartment of the pelvis in a way that is simple to use, visually intuitive and mirrors a laparoscopic image of the pelvis.

Pregnancy-related complications in patients with endometriosis in different stages.

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common and costly diseases among women. This study was carried out to investigate pregnancy outcomes in women with endometriosis because of the high prevalence of endometriosis in reproductive ages and its effect on pregnancy-related complications outcomes.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study performed on 379 pregnant women with endometriosis who were referred to the endometriosis clinic of the Avicenna Infertility Treatment Center from 2014 to 2020.

Transvaginal sonography and surgical findings in the diagnosis of endometriosis individuals: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Endometriosis is a challenging gynecological disease and a debilitating condition that profoundly affects the individual's quality of life. Besides pathological confirmation, diagnostic laparoscopy has been internationally accepted as the standard method to identify the accurate mapping of endometriosis. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the first non-invasive imaging modality to estimate the severity of endometriosis.

The co-effect of sensate focus technique and sexual position changing on sexual function of women who use medical treatment for endometriosis.

Endometriosis is one of the most common chronic diseases of women. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sensate focus technique and sexual position changing on sexual function of women who used medical treatment for endometriosis. This clinical trial study was performed on 80 women who used medical treatment for endometriosis.

Laparoscopic excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis: a prospective observational study assessing perioperative complications in 244 patients.

Purpose: To examine peri-operative complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).

Methods: This was a prospective study of a case series of women having laparoscopic excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis from September 2013 through August 2016 in a tertiary referral center for endometriosis and minimally invasive gynaecological surgery in Iran. Data collected included demographics, baseline characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative data up to 1 month following surgery.
