Ovary4
  • The mesovarium is a short peritoneal fold that attaches the anterior border of the ovary to the posterior leaf of the broad ligament. (medscape.com)
  • The mesosalpinx is the part of the broad ligament that lies between the utero-ovarian ligament, the ovary, and the fallopian tube. (medscape.com)
  • Both tubal structures (hydrosalpinx, hydatids) and congenital broad ligament cystic masses (paramesonephric remnants) can appear to be ovarian cysts if the ovary is not seen in imaging separately on that side. (wdxcyber.com)
  • The fallopian tubes are formed from the Müllerian (paramesonephric duct) system and lie within the broad ligament between the ovary and the uterus. (basicmedicalkey.com)
Uterus10
  • The broad ligament is a peritoneal fold that attaches the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to the pelvis. (medscape.com)
  • Medially, it encloses the uterus, and laterally, it encloses the ovarian vessels forming the infundibulopelvic ligament, attaching the ovaries to the lateral pelvic sidewall. (medscape.com)
  • Together with the uterus, the broad ligament forms a septum across the female pelvis, dividing that cavity into 2 compartments-in the anterior part is the bladder and in the posterior part is the rectum. (medscape.com)
  • The broad ligament is believed to hold the uterus in its normal position within the pelvis and maintains the relationship of the fallopian tubes to the ovaries and the uterus, a role that might be important in reproduction. (medscape.com)
  • Endometriosis is a disease of the female reproductive system in which cells similar to those in the endometrium, the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus, grow outside the uterus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Endometriosis usually refers to the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus while adenomyosis refers to the presence of endometrial tissue inside the uterus at an abnormal site. (nftartranking.com)
  • Contributing to the clinical "mass" were multiple thin walled subserosal cystic spaces and more solid nodules aggregated along the right side of the uterus and in the adjacent parametrial tissue and broad ligament. (bmj.com)
  • Rare sites (5%): The ovaries, a rudimentary horn of a bicornuate uterus, broad ligaments, peritoneum and cervix. (gfmer.ch)
  • Here we present a case of agenesis of the upper vagina and cervix with bilateral rudimentary horns in a bicornuate uterus with a well differentiated and functioning endometrium causing endometriosis and cyclical pain. (jpgo.org)

Ovaries2
  • Endometrial deposits on pelvic wall, broad ligament, tubes, and ovaries can bleed causing irritation of the pelvic peritoneum. (nftartranking.com)
  • Endometriosis is usually confined to the peritoneal or serosal surfaces of pelvic organs, commonly the ovaries, broad ligaments, posterior cul-de-sac, and uterosacral ligaments. (msdmanuals.com)
Cervix2
  • This lesion is to be distinguished from other benign conditions including multicystic mesothelioma, endometriosis, endocervicosis, florid deep glands of the uterine cervix, and deep Nabothian cysts of the uterine cervix. (bmj.com)

Uterosacral ligaments1
  • Few endometriotic spots were seen over the peritoneum covering the pouch of Douglas and bilateral uterosacral ligaments and bladder peritoneum (figure 1). (jpgo.org)
Infundibulopelvic ligament1
  • Once the areolar tissue surrounding the obliterated umbilical artery opens from the pneumoperitoneum, the uteroovarian ligament or infundibulopelvic ligament (if the adnexa is going to be removed) is desiccated and cut. (nezhat.org)
Posterior3
  • Superiorly, it engulfs sequentially from anterior to posterior the round ligaments, fallopian tubes, and utero-ovarian ligaments. (medscape.com)
  • The fenestra type: The defect involves both the anterior leaf and the posterior leaf of the broad ligament, creating an open window anteriorly to posteriorly. (medscape.com)
  • The pouch type: The defect involves only 1 layer, either the anterior leaf or the posterior leaf of the broad ligament. (medscape.com)
Cystic3
  • Congenital cystic structures have been described within the broad ligament as remnants of the mesonephric or müllerian ducts. (medscape.com)
  • Operative, birth, or pregnancy traumas may also induce such a defect in the broad ligament by rupturing the cystic embryologic remnants. (medscape.com)
  • Presence of pain symptoms are associated with the type of endometrial lesions as 50% of women with typical lesions, 10% of women with cystic ovarian lesions, and 5% of women with deep endometriosis do not have pain. (wikipedia.org)
Peritoneum2
Ovarian1

Orthopedic1
  • Sports injuries: Orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat a variety of sports-related injuries, including ligament/tendon/meniscal tears and rotator cuff injuries. (nanyanghealthcare.com)
Tubal1
  • In patients with severe endometriosis and distorted pelvic anatomy, the infertility rate is high, possibly because the distorted anatomy and inflammation interfere with mechanisms of ovum pickup, oocyte fertilization, and tubal transport. (msdmanuals.com)
Incidence2
  • It also explains the increased incidence of endometriosis in patients with Mullerian anomalies, which obstruct menstrual flow and thus retrograde menstruation [ 10 ]. (polradiol.com)
  • Endometriosis, whose incidence is increasing, is currently recognized as a major risk factor in its development. (egojournal.eu)
Peritoneal3
  • This fusion brings together 2 peritoneal folds that become the broad ligament on each side of the fused müllerian ducts. (medscape.com)
  • This drawback is explained by immunological theory, which states that normally refluxed menstrual endometrium is cleared from the peritoneal cavity by macrophages, natural killer cells, and lymphocytes preventing endometriosis in most cases. (polradiol.com)
  • However, there is reduced immunological clearance of refluxed endometrium from the peritoneal cavity, causing endometriosis in some women with immune system dysfunction. (polradiol.com)
Tissue4
  • Between the 2 layers of the broad ligament is extraperitoneal tissue referred to as the parametrium and consists of connective tissue, smooth muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. (medscape.com)
  • Metaplastic theory suggests the differentiation of serosal surfaces or celomic epithelium into endometrial tissue, and arguments given in favour include the fact that endometriosis can also occur in patients with uterine agenesis, gonadal dysgenesis, and Turner syndrome [ 12 ]. (polradiol.com)
  • Adenomyosis and endometriosis are both due to the presence of endometrial tissue in sites other than the normal uterine cavity. (nftartranking.com)
  • Endometriosis is defined medically as the presence of endometrial tissue at sites other than the normal uterine cavity. (nftartranking.com)
Laterally1
  • The round ligament is first dessicated and cut laterally near the inguinal region. (nezhat.org)

Anterior2
  • Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury (ACLI) is most often a result of low-velocity, noncontact, deceleration injuries and contact injuries with a rotational component. (experts.com)
  • Contact sports also may produce injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) secondary to twisting, valgus stress, or hyperextension all directly related to contact or collision. (experts.com)
Benign1
  • Endometriosis is a common benign and chronic inflammatory gynaecological disease due to functional endometrial glands and stroma in an ectopic location outside the uterine cavity [ 1 ]. (polradiol.com)
Commonly2
  • Endometriosis is commonly misdiagnosed and females often report being incorrectly told their symptoms are trivial or normal. (wikipedia.org)
  • Pelvic endometriosis causes subfertility much more commonly than adenomyosis. (nftartranking.com)
Chronic1
  • A 2018 study of 3,394 cases of laparoscopically-confirmed endometriosis found the risk greater among those who experienced early-life severe physical or sexual abuse, especially severe-chronic abuse of multiple types, compared to those reporting no early-life physical or sexual abuse. (wikipedia.org)

Surgical3
  • Several factors have been attributed to causing these defects, including trauma during pregnancy or delivery, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and surgical damage. (medscape.com)
  • Surgical removal of endometriosis may be used to treat those whose symptoms are not manageable with other treatments. (wikipedia.org)

  • There is no cure for endometriosis, but a number of treatments may improve symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
Menstruation3
  • The drawback of the theory is that a more significant proportion of patients experience retrograde menstruation, but endometriosis affects only 10% of women [ 11 ]. (polradiol.com)
  • In endometriosis pain is the main feature while in adenomyosis irregular menstruation is the main feature. (nftartranking.com)
  • The most widely accepted hypothesis for the pathophysiology of endometriosis is that endometrial cells are transported from the uterine cavity during menstruation and subsequently become implanted at ectopic sites. (msdmanuals.com)
