Wertigkeit der präoperativen rektalen Endosonografie bei Patientinnen mit Endometriose
This retrospective evaluation of 682 endometriosis patients compared preoperative transrectal ultrasound findings with intraoperative results to assess the diagnostic value of endosonography for bowel wall involvement.

This retrospective study evaluated the diagnostic utility of preoperative rectal endosonography in 104 women with endometriosis who underwent surgery between 2009 and 2015. The researchers compared endosonography results against intraoperative findings, revealing that while the positive predictive value for bowel wall involvement was high at 0.8, the negative predictive value was lower at 0.64. The authors conclude that despite these limitations, rectal endosonography provides essential information for surgical planning and interdisciplinary discussions regarding potential bowel resection or shaving procedures. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the role of rectal endosonography in diagnosing deep infiltrating lesions involving the bowel wall.
