The surgical treatment of endometriosis, which used to be performed by laparotomy, is now in most cases performed by coelioscopy. The purpose of surgery is to destroy or remove as much as possible of the endometriotic lesions and to treat t…

Objective To determine whether ileocaecal endometriosis ( ICE ) is a marker for low rectal endometriosis ( LRE ) severity. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting France. Population and sample Analysis of 375 colorectal resections perfor…

To prospectively assess the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) enterography in preoperative screening of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) for the diagnosis of right DIE lesions located in the ileocaecal junction and recto sigmoid junc…

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a history of surgery for endometriosis could be considered as a marker for disease severity. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 780 women with histologically proven endometriosis who underwent surgery.…

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound scanning complement each other in screening for and diagnosis of endometriosis. Fusion imaging, also known as real-time virtual sonography, is a new technique that uses magnetic nav…

Adenomyosis is defined as a benign invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium. Magnetic Resonance Imaging enables the diagnosis, by measuring the thickness of a distinct low-intensity myometrial band on T2- weighted images, called Junc…

MRI and ultrasound complement each other very well for the screening and diagnosis of endometriosis. Real Time Virtual Sonography (RVS) is a new technique which uses magnetic navigation and a computer software to allow for the synchronized …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to describe an imaging method based on a CT technique, CT antegrade colonography, for the evaluation of low anastomosis and to evaluate the value of CT antegrade colonography before early ileostomy cl…

BACKGROUND: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is presented as a disease with high recurrence risk. Bladder DIE is the most frequent location in cases of urinary endometriosis. Surgical removal has been recommended for bladder DIE but lo…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) has important advantages compared with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS): it is less invasive, is cost-effective, is a familiar and well-accepted approach, and anesthesia is not required. We …

Intestinal endometriosis accounts for 8-12% of all endometriosis and rectal involvement is most often encountered in the context of deep pelvic infiltration. Intestinal symptoms, often nonspecific, are most typically seen as painful defecat…
