Objectives: This preliminary analysis of an ongoing prospective cohort study aims to validate novel threshold-based and decision-tree (DT) based ultrasound (US) and surgical endometriosis staging systems developed on a retrospective cohort …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic performance of each additional step of the four-step International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus protocol for predicting the presence of deep endometriosis (DE) on transvaginal ultrasoun…

In March 2022 Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule updated gynecological item numbers relating to endometriosis surgery. Specific item numbers include 35637, 35631 and 35632 (a division of 35638) and 35641 (14). Each item number correlates…

With the ESHRE 2022 endometriosis guideline outlining the ‘gold standard’ for endometriosis diagnosis is now imaging, the prior mantra of “see and treat” at time of laparoscopy now has a new meaning. The rASRM, AAGL, UBESS, #ENZIAN and EFI …

Transvaginal ultrasound is highly effective for diagnosing gynecological conditions like deep endometriosis, uterine pathologies, and evaluating adnexal masses. This study aims to emphasise the role of transvaginal ultrasound in directing s…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Externally validate the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) staging system against surgical complexity and compare diagnostic accuracy with revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) st…

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, taking 6.4 years to diagnose using conventional laparoscopy. Non-invasive imaging enables timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay, risk and expense of surgery. This review updates literature explori…

Endometriosis has been described by many different theories of pathogenesis over the years. It is now also appreciated to be a state of chronic inflammation, and the role of immune dysfunction in its development has been proven. There is in…

Objective To externally validate the “2021 AAGL Endometriosis Classification” staging system. Design Retrospective, diagnostic accuracy study Setting Multicentre Population or Sample Two hundred and seventy-two endometriosis patients (Janua…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in predicting deep endometriosis (DE) following the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus methodology. METHODS: This was an international …

To determine the effectiveness of advanced transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) to triage endometriosis surgeries to either a tertiary hospital with planned presence of multidisciplinary surgical teams (MDT) or a non-tertiary hospital. A retrospec…

This study's objective was to develop a model to predict the need for ureterolysis (i.e. dissection of the ureter) during laparoscopy for endometriosis. Ureterolysis may be considered an advanced laparoscopic procedure not usually performed…

We will demonstrate that with intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (iTVS), it is possible to identify the posterior compartment structures, special attention to the uterosacral ligaments and the pouch of Douglas (POD) peritoneum. This tec…
