AI Article Synopsis
- Surgical removal of deep endometriosis lesions can relieve symptoms but often causes problematic adhesions; this study evaluates a new hyaluronic acid gel designed to reduce those adhesions after surgery.
- Conducted on 60 patients, the study analyzed inflammation, pain, and complications within 72 hours after laparoscopic surgery, indicating a slight increase in inflammatory markers post-surgery yet no serious adverse events.
- Findings suggest that the antiadhesion gel (HyaRegen) is safe for managing inflammatory responses after surgery, with manageable pain levels reported by over 60% of participants.
Article Abstract
Surgical removal of deep endometriosis lesions is an established method of reducing patient symptoms, but it often results in iatrogenic adhesions that lead to further problems. This pilot study presents the safety evaluation of a novel self-cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel used to reduce adhesions after non-bowel deep endometriosis surgery. A single cohort, single-center, non-randomized pilot study was conducted in patients diagnosed with non-bowel deep endometriosis who underwent a three-stage treatment regimen consisting of first surgery, hormone therapy and second surgery. The present report is limited to an analysis of the inflammatory parameters, pain and complications occurring within a 72 h period following the initial laparoscopy (FLL) utilizing the anti-adhesion gel. 60 patients (28.48 ± 5.9 years old) were included. 24 h after the intervention, a slight elevation in C-reactive protein levels was observed in 38.33% of cases (0.98 ± 1.46 mg/dL), with a statistically significant difference after FLL (0.98 ± 1.46 mg/dL before FLL vs. 1.03 ± 1.29 mg/dL after FLL; =< 0.001); there were no patients with levels above 10 mg/dL before or after surgery. 24 h after FLL, 29.33% of patients had a leukocyte count greater than 11 Thous/μL, with a maximum observed value of 16.2 Thous/μL. The count was found to be statistically significantly higher after FLL (6.03 ± 1.91 Thous/μL before FLL vs. 9.15 ± 2.61 Thous/μL after FLL; =< 0.001). At 72 h post-intervention, postoperative pain was reported in up to 63.33% of cases, and one urinary tract infection with fever occurred but was not considered to be related to the product. No serious adverse events were observed. The results of this exploratory study showed a safe range of inflammatory response within a 24 h period following the application of the novel self-cross-linked hyaluronic acid antiadhesion gel (HyaRegen) in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for non-bowel deep endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects 10% of reproductive-aged women and characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The disease is linked to a pro-inflammatory environment in the peritoneal fluid of patients, with high levels of cytokines, growth factors, and reactive oxygen species. Changes in the peritoneal fluid, such as altered immune cells and cytokines, can be linked to the immune balance in endometriosis.

Study Question: How do endometriosis diagnoses and subtypes reported in administrative health data compare with surgically confirmed disease?
Summary Answer: For endometriosis diagnosis, we observed substantial agreement and high sensitivity and specificity between administrative health data-International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9 codes-and surgically confirmed diagnoses among participants who underwent gynecologic laparoscopy or laparotomy.
What Is Known Already: Several studies have assessed the validity of self-reported endometriosis in comparison to medical record reporting, finding strong confirmation. We previously reported high inter- and intra-surgeon agreement for endometriosis diagnosis in the Endometriosis, Natural History, Diagnosis, and Outcomes (ENDO) Study.

Endometriosis is a common condition among women of reproductive age worldwide, with the urinary tract being the second most frequently affected extragenital organ system, particularly the bladder and ureters. Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is relatively rare, often asymptomatic, and can lead to progressive renal function loss if not addressed promptly. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential, requiring a high index of suspicion.

Study Question: Is there an association between the somatic loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and ARID1A (AT-rich interaction domain 1A) and endometriosis disease severity and worse clinical outcomes?
Summary Answer: Somatic PTEN loss in endometriosis epithelium was associated with greater disease burden and subsequent surgical complexity.
What Is Known Already: Somatic cancer-driver mutations including those involving the PTEN and ARID1A genes exist in endometriosis without cancer; however, their clinical impact remains unclear.
Study Design, Size, Duration: This prospective longitudinal study involved endometriosis tissue and clinical data from 126 participants who underwent surgery at a tertiary center for endometriosis (2013-2017), with a follow-up period of 5-9 years.

: Postsurgical lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a common problem following deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) resection. The condition may be caused either by surgically induced damage to the bladder innervation or by pre-existing endometriosis-associated nerve damage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative and postoperative multichannel urodynamic testing (UD) in identifying pre-existing or surgically induced LUTD among patients with DIE.
