Study objectiveTo assess the association between ovarian endometriomas detectable at transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and other specific extraovarian lesions including adhesions, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis.DesignRet…

In the last decade, pregnancy was considered as a therapeutic period for patients affected by endometriosis and painful symptoms. However, several studies have taken into consideration how endometriosis affects pregnancy achievement and pre…

To correlate type and degree of adenomyosis using a new score system based on transvaginal sonographic (TVS) features to patients symptoms and fertility. A new score system able to evaluate the degree and the extension of uterine adenomyosi…

To investigate whether or not an ovarian endometrioma detected by ultrasound was associated with other appearances of pelvic endometriosis such as adhesions and/or deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in order to improve the management of …

ObjectiveTo study outcomes and complications during pregnancy and at delivery in women with a posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) nodule persisting after surgery and diagnosed at transvaginal sonography (TVS) in comparison with …

The aim of this study was to review the sonographic aspects of bladder endometriosis and to establish their usefulness for surgical management. 51 patients with histologically confirmed bladder endometriosis underwent sonographic evaluation…

The aim of this study was to assess three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal sonography (TVS) detectable alterations of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) in patients with only endometriomas (OMAs) or with only deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE…

ObjectiveThe uterine junctional zone (JZ) alterations are correlated with adenomyosis. An accurate evaluation of the JZ may be obtained by 3-dimensional transvaginal sonography (TVS). The aim of the present prospective study was to assess t…

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of 3D TVS to detect morphological alterations of JZ in infertile patients affected by pelvic endometriosis and to correlate the findings to the laparoscopic stage of endometriosis. We evaluat…
