OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of interpregnancy interval on the odds of recurrence of tubal ectopic pregnancy (TEP) following expectant or surgical management. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary early …

OBJECTIVES: The development of valuable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with ultrasound diagnosis depends on algorithms developed using high-quality data. This study aimed to test the intra- and interobserver agreement of a pro…

Endometriosis is a complicated and growing health concern, affecting approximately 2–3% of individuals assigned female at birth worldwide1, 2. Advances in ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allow assessment of disease, to some …

OBJECTIVE: Adhesions between the uterus, bladder and anterior abdominal wall are associated with clinical sequelae, including chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia, and can also yield complications during surgery. The transvaginal sonographic…

OBJECTIVE: To perform an updated meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for detecting lateral parametrial involvement in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: A literature se…

A standardized methodology for the ultrasound evaluation of the pelvic sidewall has not been proposed to date. Herein, a collaborative group of gynecologists and gynecological oncologists with extensive ultrasound experience presents a syst…

The data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author. The data are not publicly available due to privacy or ethical restrictions. Appendix S1 Case reports of clinical and ultrasound charact…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of adenomyosis subtypes defined by ultrasound using the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria, with reproductive and obstetric outcomes following frozen embryo transfer (F…

OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration is a potential treatment for acute adnexal torsion that can be performed in the outpatient setting, offering an alternative to emergency laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this study was to d…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between adenomyosis volume, as a reflection of its severity, and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at a comprehensive tertiary ca…

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…

OBJECTIVE: Around 80% of women with endometriosis have superficial endometriosis (SE) rather than ovarian or deep endometriosis (DE). However, to date, advances in non-invasive, imaging-based diagnosis have been limited to DE or ovarian dis…

We aimed to evaluate the changes of pelvic endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), over a period of at least 24 months, using #Enzian classification in women who were managed only by medical treatment, without previous surgery. We i…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic test accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) using a standardized technique for the diagnosis of deep endometriosis (DE) of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs) and adjacent torus uterinus (TU). METHODS…

We appreciate the feedback from Prof. Guerriero and colleagues and would like to take the opportunity to address their concerns. We agree that the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus opinion1 has contributed significa…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the natural progression of ovarian endometrioma in women who are managed expectantly. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 83 women with evidence of ovarian endometrioma who were managed expectantly bet…

OBJECTIVE: Two-dimensional (2D) transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is an accessible and cost-effective diagnostic tool for the detection of adenomyosis. Different ultrasound features related to adenomyosis have been described, but the predictive…

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 assess the impact of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) on the assessment of ovarian/adnexal lesion(s) of different risk categories using the sonographic ovarian-adnexal imaging-reporting-data system (O-RADS) in women undergoing plan…
