RPL is a very debated condition, in which many issues concerning definition, etiological factors to investigate or therapies to apply are still controversial. ML could help clinicians to reach an objectiveness in RPL classification and acce…
Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium within the myometrium. This features lead to structural changes in the surrounding myometrium and endometrium resulting also in functional changes. Alterations in the myome…
The incidence of endometriosis in middle-aged women is not minimal compared to that in the reproductive age group. The treatment of affected women after childbearing age to the natural transition toward menopause has received considerably p…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To correlate the type and degree of adenomyosis, scored through a new system based on the features of transvaginal sonography, to patients' symptoms and fertility. DESIGN: This is a multicenter, observational, prospective …
OBJECTIVE: To study the interobserver reproducibility of our new ultrasonographic mapping system to define the type and extension of uterine adenomyosis. DESIGN: Interobserver study involving two observers with different medical background…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Laparoscopic surgical excision of bladder nodules has been demonstrated to be effective in relieving associated painful symptoms; the data are lacking concerning the impact of anterior compartment endometriosis on…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between ovarian endometriomas detectable at transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and other specific extraovarian lesions including adhesions, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis. DESIG…
Ulipristal acetate (UPA) is used for medical treatment of uterine fibroids. The aim of this study was to describe the effects on painful symptoms and the sonographic uterine modifications in patients with adenomyosis erroneously treated wit…
Endometriosis is a chronic benign disease affecting women of fertile age, associated with pelvic pain and subfertility, often with negative impacts on quality of life. Meetings involving 5 gynecologists skilled in endometriosis management a…
We read with interest the article by Menakaya et al.1 on the importance of accurate sonographic detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). They reported for the study group all details related to location, dimension and overall fea…
The main challenges of imaging for endometriosis are the detection of nonovarian disease and the evaluation of the extension of the disease into pelvic structures. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) has been proposed as the first-line imagi…
