Endometriosis occurs in 50 % of women with infertility. Ovarian endometriosis affects 55 % of women with this disease. Surgical treatment of endometrium is indicated if its size is over 3 cm. After removal of the endometriomas there are used diathermic, bipolar energy, radio wave energy, argon plasma coagulation for hemostasis of ovarian tissue. The use of argon plasma coagulation in ovarian hemostasis causes not only hemostatic but also protective effect, which is mediated by the induction of HSP27, SOD2, VEGF and iNOS, which renders an organ−preserving effect when applied to ovarian tissues. Repeated surgery for ovarian endometrium should be performed taking into account the risk of reduced levels of antimullerian hormone, which may adversely affect the further implementation of reproductive function, including the use of assisted reproductive technologies. The authors comparatively have evaluated the treatment of 900 patients of reproductive age with endometrioid cysts of the ovaries and other concomitant gynecological pathology, which were three clinical groups. The patients received radiowave energy, argonoplasmic coagulation, intraoperative use of various anti−adhesive drugs and combinations of drugs in the postoperative period. It was found that the use of argon plasma coagulation for hemostasis of ovarian tissues after removal of endometrioid cysts, polyethylene oxide gel with carboxymethylcellulose intraoperatively and gonadotropin−releasing hormone agonists, dienogest 2 mg per day for three months contributed to the pregnancy onset in post−srugery period in 56.7 % of patients. It has been noted that in women the presence of adhesions in combination with corpus luteum cysts, endometrial polyps, uterine leiomyoma reduces the onset of pregnancy by 8.0, 12, and 24 times, respectively. Key words: endometrial ovarian cysts, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation in the post−surgery period.

This review summarizes current understanding of the pathogenesis of one of the most common forms of external genital endometriosis ovarian endometriomas. Due to their frequent occurrence in young women of reproductive age and extremely negative impact on the morphophysiological state of the ovaries, this disease makes a significant contribution to the structure of endometriosis-associated infertility. The main determinant of the negative effect of ovarian endometriomas on reproductive function is a decrease in ovarian reserve, which can occur either due to the direct gonadotoxic effect of the endometriod cyst itself, or due to the unintentional removal of healthy ovarian tissue during surgery or the use of aggressive methods of electrosurgery. Hence, the question of methods for achieving hemostasis during surgery in terms of iatrogenic effects on healthy ovarian tissue is debatable. The management strategy for patients with infertility associated with ovarian endometriosis consists of two components: surgical treatment and/or the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Laparoscopic cystectomy is indicated for cysts larger than 3 cm. Repeated surgical interventions in case of endometriosis do not improve fertility outcomes. Assisted reproductive technologies methods should be considered as a priority tactic in patients of older reproductive age with low ovarian reserve indicators or infertility duration of more than 2 years, as well as in cases of recurrent ovarian endometriomas. Management of such patients must be personalized and take into account the age, state of the ovarian reserve, duration of infertility, stage and number of surgical interventions for this disease.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an overt or occult source of gastrointestinal bleeding. Despite several therapeutic approaches have been successfully tested for preventing chronic bleeding, some patients present recurrence of GAVE lesions. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case, of a 86-year-old woman who presented severe iron-deficiency anemia due to GAVE and showed recurrence of GAVE lesion despite the intensive argon plasma coagulation treatment. We performed endoscopic mucosal resection of bleeding GAVE with resolution of anemia.

Genital endometriosis is a disease of women of reproductive age, accompanied by infertility in 50% [1]. Adenomyosis can be considered as an endometriosis of the uterus. Histologically, this process is represented by ectopic, non-tumor endometrial glands, and stroma surrounded by hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrium [2]. Adenomyosis is accompanied by pelvic pain of varying intensity as well as menstrual disorders [1]. The disease is accompanied by significant violations of reproductive function (infertility, unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy and miscarriage, abnormal uterine bleeding). Adenomyosis can be accompanied by a violation of the function of adjacent organs (such as the bladder, rectum). Often, one of the clinical manifestations of adenomyosis is the development of sideropenic syndrome, which is also caused by the development of chronic post-hemorrhagic iron deficiency anemia. This is accompanied by a deterioration in the general condition of patients, a decrease in their ability to work. Despite a large number of publications in Russian and foreign scientific sources devoted to this problem, reproductive doctors and obstetricians-gynecologists often underestimate the role of adenomyosis in pregnancy planning using assisted reproductive technologies. Without interpreting the anamnesis data obtained through an active survey, doctors do not prescribe additional methods for diagnosing this pathology, which is not complex and expensive. To confirm the diagnosis, a transvaginal ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs during the premenstrual period is sufficient. In cases that are difficult to diagnose, the MRI method of the corresponding anatomical area can be used. Underestimation of the clinical picture and under-examination of the patient did not allow prescribing timely correction of the pathology and led to unsuccessful attempts to implement the generative function using assisted reproductive technologies. The conducted examination with clarification of the cause of IVF failures and the prescribed reasonable treatment made it possible to achieve regression of endometriosis foci in this clinical situation, followed by the patient's ability to realize generative function.
