Traditionally, laparoscopy was considered to be the gold standard for the examination of endometriotic lesions, because it allows their direct visualization. Several international and national guidelines have now shifted their focus to non-…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the sonomorphological changes and appearance of deep endometriosis (DE) affecting the nervous tissue of the sacral plexus (SP). METHODS: This was a retrospective study of symptomatic patients who underwent radical re…
To evaluate the accuracy of preoperative transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) in deep endometriosis and adhesions using surgical findings as the reference standard. The test and reference standard bo…

BACKGROUND: The treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis requires a complex, multidisciplinary approach. Some centres have established multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and regular meetings. There are currently no international data or recomm…
Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of identifying and measuring the normal sacral plexus (SP) on gynecological transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study conducted at a single tert…
Gynecological ultrasonography plays a central role in the management of endometriosis. The rapid technical development as well as the currently increasing evidence for non-invasive diagnostic methods require an updated compilation of recomm…
Introduction: Endometriosis, one of the most common benign gynaecological diseases, is characterized by a reduced quality of life due to various physical and psychological stresses. Late diagnosis is associated with disease progression and …
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that affects pelvic structures and causes adhesions. Endometriosis outside the pelvis exists but is rarer. Deep endometriosis may affect organs such as the urinary bladder,…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of transvaginal sonography for the preoperative detection of leiomyoma, adenomyosis, or combined compared…
To evaluate the accuracy of TVS for preoperative detection of bladder endometriosis (BE) and to describe TVS-based surgical outcomes of women undergoing laparoscopic procedures for UTE including BE and/ or hydronephrosis (HN). Retrospective…

The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometriosis. Currently…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate interobserver agreement and accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and endometriomas. METHODS: A total of 67 consecutive patients referred to a pelvic pain clini…
BACKGROUND: The management of symptomatic rectal endometriosis is a challenging condition that may necessitate limited stripping or limited segmental anterior rectal resection (LSARR) depending upon the extent and severity of the disease. O…
