Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and progression of lower urinary tract symptoms following laparoscopic surgery for deep-infiltrating endometriosis of the rectosigmoid and identify preoperative factors associated with worse postoperative outcomes.
Methods: Prospective, observational study.
Settings: single-center, referral hospital for endometriosis.
Acute vulvar ulcer (Lipschütz's ulcer) is a rare lesion with local hyperimmunoreactivity triggered by infection, which is characterized by acute, painful, and necrotic ulcerations. This condition is usually found in non-sexually active adolescents, and it resolves spontaneously. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman who was diagnosed with COVID-19 who did not have severe symptoms, but had high levels of D-dimer for 9 days.

Objective: Our aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the most commonly used examinations for rectosigmoid lesions of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, transvaginal sonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to compare their diagnostic accuracy and enhanced or non-enhanced techniques.
Methods: A systematic search was performed until March 2018 without time or language restrictions. Eligibility criteria included studies that compared the accuracy of TVS and MRI for diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis.
Purpose: To analyze the factors that might influence the recurrence of ovarian endometriomas after laparoscopic excision.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study. We evaluated 129 patients who underwent laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometriomas from 2003 to 2012 and who were followed up for at least two years after surgery.
