Rectosigmoid endometriosis is a severe form of deep endometriosis, which may be responsible for pain symptoms and a wide range of intestinal complains such as diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal cramping. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of long-term Objective: To assess the long-term genitourinary and gastrointestinal complaints following presacral neurectomy.Design: A prospective postoperative follow-up of patients who underwent laparoscopic presacral neurectomy and treatment of endometriosis.Materials and Methods: The mean follow-up of the 67

Concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced anal canal carcinoma, although treatment-related side effects can affect patient quality of life (QOL). The purpose was to prospectively evaluate the effects of Tomotherapy (HT) based CCRT on patient reported QOL in
BACKGROUND
Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for endometrial cancer (EC) may affect patients' quality of life (QoL). There is a paucity of data on prognostic factors for long-term QoL and sexual functioning. This study aimed to investigate such factors and assess the role of the vaginal dilator
Deep invasive endometriosis (DIE) of the rectosigmoid is associated with painful symptoms. When medical treatments are ineffective, surgical resection remains the standard despite significant adverse events. High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a minimally invasive ablative OBJECTIVE
Intensified preoperative treatments have been increasingly investigated in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), but limited data are available for the impact of these regimens on quality of life (QoL) and bowel function (BF). We assessed these outcome measures in EXPERT-C, a randomized
