OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of physical examination, transvaginal sonography (TVS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of different locations of deep infiltrating endometriosis (D…

Menometrorrhagia is a frequent cause of medical consulting. After a clinical examination showing the uterine origin of bleeding and that excludes a cervical or vulvo-vaginal origin, transvaginal sonography (TVS) represents the first-line te…

This is a review of different diseases implicated in chronic pelvic pain (endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic varices, and pelvic chronic inflammatory disease) assessed by different imaging modalities (US, CT, MRI).

Menometrorrhagia is a frequent cause of medical consulting. After clinical examination showing the uterine origin of bleeding and excluding a cervical or vulvo-vaginal cause, ultrasonography is indicated. It is the first-line technique exam…

Surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. However, few data are available on complications, especially urinary disorders. The aim of this longitudinal study (Canadian Task Force classifica…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis can improve quality of life (QOL), but the results vary widely from one woman to another. The aim of this study was to determine whether the preoperative results on the Physica…

BACKGROUND: We compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE), with respect to surgical and histological findings. METHODS: Longitudinal…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), with respect to surgical and histological findings. METHODS: This was a…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the urinary side effects after laparoscopic surgery for deep endometriosis. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Longitudinal study including 86 patients operated for deep pelvic endometriosis : 58 (68%) with colorectal endometriosi…

Pelvic endometriosis primarily affects the ovaries, pelvic peritoneum, utero-sacral ligaments, Douglas pouch, vagina, rectum and bladder. Clinical assessment is difficult, and imaging proves necessary to determine location and extent of the…

BACKGROUND: Deep pelvic endometriosis with colorectal involvement is a complex disorder often requiring segmental bowel resection. This study investigated the limits and complications of laparoscopic segmental colorectal resection. METHODS…

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Endometriosis is a frequent gynaecological disorder in young women. Colorectal endometriosis accounts for about 90% of all intestinal locations. The effectiveness of medical therapies is poor, and surgery, including color…

BACKGROUND: The hypothesis is tested that there is a strong association between endometriosis and adenomyosis and that adenomyosis plays a role in causing infertility in women with endometriosis. METHODS. Magnetic resonance imaging of the u…

BACKGROUND: Indications of colorectal resection for endometriosis remain controversial because of the risk of major complications. Therefore, the aims of the current study were to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic segmental colorectal r…

OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility and complications of laparoscopic segmental colorectal resection for endometriosis and its efficacy on gynecologic and digestive symptoms. STUDY DESIGN: After magnetic resona…

OBJECTIVE: To examine fertility, reproductive outcomes, and determinants of fertility after laparoscopic segmental colorectal resection for endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective longitudinal study. SETTING: Tertiary university gynecology u…

Deep pelvic endometriosis may involve the uterosacral ligaments, the pouch of Douglas, the vagina, the rectum, and occasionally the bladder. Assessment by physical examination is difficult, and imaging techniques are needed to evaluate the …

Deep pelvic endometriosis may involve the uterosacral ligaments, cul-de-sac of Douglas, vagina, rectum, and occasionally the bladder. Evaluation by physical examination is difficult, and imaging techniques are needed to evaluate the locatio…

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for the preoperative diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis and extension of the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred ninety-five patients (mean age,…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: In a prospective study, 142 women with clinical signs of endometriosis underwent TVS followed by surgical and hi…

OBJECTIVE: Colorectal endometriosis is source of chronic pelvic pain greatly affecting quality-of-life. Colorectal resection is indicated after failure of medical treatment. Few data are available on complications and functional results aft…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of colorectal resection for endometriosis on symptoms and quality of life or on potential side effects. STUDY DESIGN: After magnetic resonance imaging and rectal endoscopic so…

OBJECTIVE: We compared two rapid MR imaging T2-weighted pulse sequences with high-resolution turbo spin-echo for the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and we evaluated interobserver variability. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Fifty-six consecutive patients…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis and possible rectal involvement are difficult to assess by physical examination. Previous studies have shown the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) in this setting…
