OBJECTIVES: Endometriosis is a chronic disease for which no curative treatment currently exists. The available palliative treatments are not without side effects and must be tailored to the individual expectations and objectives of each pat…

Abstract Objective To investigate, in the context of endometriosis management, the perceptions of patients and healthcare professionals regarding hormonal treatment options. Design Qualitative study using semi-structured focus group methodo…

BACKGROUND: Rectal endometriosis is among the most symptomatic forms of the disease. When hormonal therapy fails, surgery is often required. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used in gynecology for the treatment of myomas a…

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a comparative retrospective bicentric study of rectal endometriosis treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and surgery in terms of symptoms and treatment-related morbidity at 6 months. METHODS: All …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) of anterior abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) lesions and to describe its efficacy on clinical symptoms and on the volume of the lesion. DESIGN: Int…

STUDY QUESTION: Is increasing the intensity of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) by 30% in the treatment of rectal endometriosis a safe procedure? SUMMARY ANSWER: This study demonstrates the safety of a 30% increase in the intensity…

Comparing rectal endometriosis treatment with HIFU and surgery in terms of symptoms at 6 months and treatments-related morbidity. Comparative retrospective, bicentric study in 2 endometriosis reference centers. Patients operated by HIFU or …

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity which could affect 200 million women worldwide. One of the most common symptoms of endometriosis is pelvic chro…

Endometriosis of the rectosigmoid is associated with painful symptoms. Surgical resection remains the standard. FocalOne is a transrectal (TR) HIFU device. In a preliminary study, we demonstrated the feasibility of TR-HIFU in 20 patients pr…

This study aimed to evaluate the value of an e-learning program for the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis lesions using rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (rectosonography/RSG). Theoretical RSG training using videos wi…

Three-dimensional rectosonography (RSG) is a transvaginal sonography technique using rectal water contrast and 3-D acquisitions. The main points of interest of 3-D RSG could be its easy accessibility and its quick learning curve, especially…

OBJECTIVE: To review prospectively the clinical characteristics of patients suffering from urinary tract endometriosis (UTE) in France, in 2017. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a prospective observational multicenter study including women manag…

INTRODUCTION: Surgical management of Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is still controversial, a thoracic or an abdominal approach can be proposed. METHODS: We conducted a multicentric retrospective study in 8 thoracic, gyneco…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the surgical management and risks of postoperative complications of patients with urinary tract endometriosis in France in 2017. DESIGN: Multicenter retrospective cohort pilot study. SETTING: Departments of gy…

OBJECTIVES: In this thesis we describe a new technique for the management of rectosigmoid endometriosis by transrectal ultrasound-guided high intensity focused ultrasound ultrasound (TR-USgHIFU). We also review several limiting factors of t…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Comparison of 3D-rectosonography (3D-RSG), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and MRI performances in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis using surgery as the Gold Standard. DESIGN: Monocentric retrospective longi…

Tridimensional rectosonography (3-D RSG) is a transvaginal ultrasonography procedure combining intrarectal contrast with tridimensional technology. The objectives of this study were to assess the diagnostic performances of 3-D RSG in deep i…

OBJECTIVES: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectosigmoid is associated with painful symptoms. When medical treatment is ineffective, surgical resection remains the standard treatment, despite significant risk of adverse events.…
