Objectives: This preliminary analysis of an ongoing prospective cohort study aims to validate novel threshold-based and decision-tree (DT) based ultrasound (US) and surgical endometriosis staging systems developed on a retrospective cohort …

Results: We had included 54 videos from 51 patients with 188 labeled frames.Of these, 171/188 frames contained an annotated DE lesion, and 17/188 were without lesion.On lesion-present frames, Dice was 0.45 ± 0.28 (mean ± SD) with a median o…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic performance of each additional step of the four-step International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus protocol for predicting the presence of deep endometriosis (DE) on transvaginal ultrasoun…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In March 2022, updates in the Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule relating to endometriosis surgery were made relating to item numbers 35637, 35631 and 35632 (division of 35638) and 35641. Updated codes aligned with r…

Objective To externally validate the “2021 AAGL Endometriosis Classification” staging system. Design Retrospective, diagnostic accuracy study Setting Multicentre Population or Sample Two hundred and seventy-two endometriosis patients (Janua…

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common, multifactorial disease. While observational studies have identified an association between lower vitamin D and higher CRC risk, supplementation trials have been inconclusive and the mechanisms by which v…

Over recent years, there has been major advancement in the use of transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) for the pre-operative diagnosis and staging of deep endometriosis. The International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) Consensus paper establis…

We read with interest the comments from Noventa et al. regarding the difficulty in identifying the best ‘first-line’ approach for the diagnosis of site-specific deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the posterior compartment. Indeed, the…

OBJECTIVE: To use office gel sonovaginography (SVG) to predict posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in women undergoing laparoscopy. METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study carried out between January 2009…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate preoperative real-time dynamic transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the prediction of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in women undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. METHODS: This was a multicenter prospe…
