Impact of deep or ovarian endometriosis on pelvic pain and quality of life: prospective cross-sectional ultrasound study.

Objective: To assess whether premenopausal women diagnosed with deep or ovarian endometriosis on transvaginal sonography (TVS) were more likely to suffer from dyspareunia and pelvic pain symptoms, and have a lower quality of life, compared to women without sonographically diagnosed deep or ovarian endometriosis.

Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study carried out between February 2019 and October 2020 at the general gynecology clinic at University College London Hospital, London, UK. All premenopausal women aged 18-50 years, who were examined consecutively by a single experienced examiner and underwent a detailed TVS scan, were eligible for inclusion.

Obstetric outcomes in women with pelvic endometriosis: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: To determine whether obstetric outcomes differ between women with endometriosis and those without, where all women undergo first-trimester screening for endometriosis.

Design: A prospective observational cohort study.

Setting: The Early Pregnancy Unit at University College London Hospital, United Kingdom.

Laparoscopic suture sacrohysteropexy: A meshless uterine- sparing technique for surgical management of uterine prolapse.

Background: Laparoscopic mesh sacrohysteropexy has been established as an effective, safe, and popular technique to treat uterine prolapse. Nevertheless, recent controversies regarding the role of synthetic mesh in pelvic reconstructive surgery have triggered a trend towards meshless procedures. Other laparoscopic native tissue prolapses techniques such as uterosacral ligament plication and sacral suture hysteropexy have been previously described in literature.

Prevalence of deep and ovarian endometriosis in women attending a general gynecology clinic: prospective cohort study.

Objectives: To assess using transvaginal ultrasound the prevalence of deep and ovarian endometriosis in premenopausal women attending a general gynecology clinic. We also investigated whether the presence of endometriosis was associated with various demographic factors and other pelvic abnormalities.

Methods: This was a prospective observational cohort study carried out between February 2019 and October 2020.
