OBJECTIVE: To correlate with histopathological features the adenomyosis-induced morphological alterations of the outer myometrium and the inner myometrium ('junctional zone', JZ) detectable on two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvagin…
The aim of this study was to evaluate in patients with pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) the accuracy of transrectal ultrasound examination using the transvaginal probe to assess grade of rectal wall infiltration in comparison wi…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged to be the best diagnostic imaging to evaluate the extent pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is very accurate in diagnosing ovarian endometriomas but shows…
Recently it has been reported that a levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) could be an effective and safe method in the treatment of adenomyosis. The aim of this study was to assess whether the sonographically detectable morphologica…
Medical therapies that suppress ovarian function are effective and alternative methods in pain-related relief of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The aim of this study was to assess whether the sonographically detectable posterior pel…
To compare transvaginal sonography (TVS) with laparoscopy in the diagnosis of pelvic adhesions in patients with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). Twenty-two patients with CPP underwent TVS up to 7 days prior to laparoscopic surgery. An accurate ma…
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged to be the best diagnostic imaging to evaluate the extent posterior pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Two dimensional transvaginal sonography (2D TVS) shows some diagnostic limits in t…
Recently it has been reported that levonorgestrel intrauterine system could be an effective and safe method in the treatment of adenomyosis. The aim of this study is to assess whether the sonographic detectable morphological alterations of …
To evaluate the accuracy of different sonographic approaches in the assessment of posterior site of deep endometriosis: pouch of Douglas, rectovaginal septum, uterosacral ligaments, vaginal wall, comparing sonographic findings with laparosc…
The aim of this study was to review the sonographic aspects of bladder endometriosis and to evaluate the extension of the disease and associated symptoms. Ten patients had a TVS diagnosis of infiltrative bladder endometriosis. Excision of t…
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in the detection and follow-up of recurrence of ovarian endometriomas after laparoscopic removal. We studied 62 patients in fertile age who underwent laparoscop…
The use of the laparoscopic approach, in particular the “stripping” technique, has been questioned because it may involve excessive removal of ovarian tissue with loss of follicles. The aim of this study was to determine how and if the lapa…
