Endometriosis

The Endometriosis Concepts page includes Concepts and Theories, the Endometriosis Fertility Index, and Stage 5 Endometriosis

Endometriosis Concepts and Theories (2020) (PDF) has more than 300 theories and concepts and 400 references since 1855 BC.

Laparoscopic Appearance of Endometriosis (1988) was revised in 2018 to use the 1980s slide images in a PDF.

Laparoscopic Appearance of Endometriosis Color Atlas (1990) was revised in 2017 as a PDF.

The “Pimple Model” of endometriosis was presented as part of "Clinical and Research Aspects of Endometriosis" in 2005.

Retrocervical, rectovaginal pouch, and rectovaginal septum endometriosis (2001) is a summary of observations of deep infiltrating endometriosis. This article clarifies that rectovaginal endometriosis in in the rectovaginal (RV) pouch of Douglas (cul-de-sac) above the RV septum. This was reported as early as 1917.

Laparoscopic and vaginal colpotomy for the excision of infiltrating cul-de-sac endometriosis (1988) is a report of the ongoing development of excisional techniques first published by Professor Kurt Semm in 1980. This reports the transition from Professor Semm's use of laparoscopy to observe vaginal excision of retrocervical endometriosis (1984) to the use of partial and then total laparoscopic excision. Bowel and suturing techniques were subsequently reported in the AAGL Manual of Endoscopy (1990) and AAGL Color Atlas of Endoscopy (1993).

The pathogenesis of endometriosis: Molecular and cell biology insights (2019) covers the multiple inherited, acquired, genetic, epigenetic, reactive, inflammatory, immunologic, immunohistochemical, histological, and biological aspects of endometriosis as a multifactorial process resulting in a heterogeneous disease.

Adamson's Endometriosis Fertility Index is described on the Endometriosis Concepts page. The complete calculations are linked as a Figure at Endometriosis Fertility Index. There is a short form of the calculations at Endometriosis Fertility Index Calculations.

Tubal Reversal Physicians are on the links page.

Tubal Reversal Insurance Information can be helpful in investigating insurance coverage of tubal sterilization reversals or tubal anastomosis.

The Tubal Reversal Success Worksheet (PDF) can be used to predict success rates after tubal reversal. Although last updated in 2016, the calculations are based on biologic information that is still reliable.

Tubal Reversal Pictures (PDF) were taken with a Zeiss OpMi Vario S88 operating microscope and have actual and magnified sizes.

Infertility Toolbox has 3 levels of Tools used to promote fertility services from the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO).
