“…24 This is the reason why we decided to reserve this type of eligibility only to patients attending recognized and trained endometriosis centers. 25 For ethical reasons, it was not possible to let the patients without any golden standard treatments. Therefore, this is a particular challenge of this study to be able to show a superiority of metal trace elements versus placebo in the context of an add-on therapy.…”

“…[13][14][15] Diagnostic laparoscopy is an excellent tool for direct visualization of the pelvis and may help identify the etiology of the patients' pain, 16 and surgical ablation of disease can occur in the same procedure. However, the quality of the available literature on the efficacy of diagnostic laparoscopy as it relates to patient outcome is limited, as almost all of the available studies are retrospective studies from single institutions.…”

Defining Future Directions for Endometriosis Research: Workshop Report From the 2011 World Congress of Endometriosis in Montpellier, France

Endometriosis, defined as estrogen-dependent lesions containing endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus, is a chronic and often painful gynecological condition that affects 6% to 10% of reproductive age women. Endometriosis has estimated annual costs of US $12 419 per woman (approximately €9579), comprising one-third of the direct health care costs with two-thirds attributed to loss of productivity. Decreased quality of life is the most important predictor of direct health care and total costs. It has been estimated that there is a mean delay of 6.7 years between onset of symptoms and a surgical diagnosis of endometriosis, and each affected woman loses on average 10.8 hours of work weekly, mainly owing to reduced effectiveness while working. To encourage and facilitate research into this debilitating disease, a consensus workshop to define future directions for endometriosis research was held as part of the 11th World Congress on Endometriosis in September 2011 in Montpellier, France. The objective of this workshop was to review and update the endometriosis research priorities consensus statement developed following the 10th World Congress on Endometriosis in 2008. 1 A total of 56 recommendations for research have been developed, grouped under 6 subheadings: (1) diagnosis, (2) classification and prognosis, (3) clinical trials, treatment, and outcomes, (4) epidemiology, (5) pathophysiology, and (6) research policy. By producing this consensus international research priorities statement, it is the hope of the workshop participants that researchers will be encouraged to develop new interdisciplinary research proposals that will attract increased funding support for work on endometriosis.

Using location, color, size, and depth to characterize and identify endometriosis lesions in a cohort of 133 women

Abstract: Wide, deep, mixed-color lesions in the cul-de-sac, the ovarian fossa, or the utero-sacral ligaments had the highest frequency of endometriosis. More than half of subtle lesions had endometriosis. These results should be considered when diagnosing endometriosis.
