OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy for parametria endometriosis (PE) of transvaginal sonography (TVS) performed following a systematic approach for the assessment of the lateral parametria. DESIGN: A di…
The purpose of this State-of-the-Art Review was to provide a strategic analysis, in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), of the current evidence regarding the management of uterine isthmocele (Cesarean …
IntroductionDysmorphic uterus or T-shaped uterus is an increasingly frequent diagnosis among the infertile population that has been associated to worse reproductive results. Hysteroscopic metroplasty is a safe and simple procedure that can …
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 2-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography (US) in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for identification of deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHOD…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the utility of transvaginal ultrasound-guided thrombin injection (UGTI) to treat uterine artery pseudoaneurysms (UAPs) as an alternative to emergency arterial embolization.MethodsTwo females presenting with heavy vagina…
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of extended transvaginal sonography for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted comprising 51 women (mean age, 32.…
STUDY QUESTION: In the use of 'tenderness-guided' transvaginal ultrasound, is the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography better than two-dimensional (2D) ultrasonography in the identification of deep endometriosis? S…
The diagnosis rate of deep pelvic endometriosis is increasing. Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare neoplasm. Extragenital ESS is an extremely uncommon event. Very few cases of extragenital ESS have been reported to date. The diagnos…
In this study we aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound for assigning a specific diagnosis to benign adnexal masses in pre- and postmenopausal women. The study comprised 2146 adnexal masses in 1980 women. 1420 wo…
Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease of unknown aetiology. Angiogenesis appears to be one of the processes involved in its pathogenesis. Angiogenic factors are increased in the peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis (Mc…
There are no sufficiently sensitive and specific signs and symptoms or diagnostic tests for the clinical diagnosis of endometriosis, and no diagnostic strategy is supported by evidence of effectiveness. Pelvic and rectal examinations should…
Abnormal thickening of the Endometrial Subendometrial Myometrium Unit (ESEMy Unit, including basal endometrium and inner myometrium) has been detected on imaging and referred to as "diffuse adenomyosis" in infertile patients with proven end…
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the analysis of cyst content using mean gray value (MGV) can discriminate ovarian endometriomas from other unilocular ovarian cysts in premenopausal women. METHODS: Stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes from 54 …
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of pelvic endometriosis is high, affecting approximately 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age. Although endometriosis has been associated with the occurrence of menstrual cycles, it can affect between 2% to 5%…
BackgroundThe aim of this paper is to review and compare the results obtained using the Pfannenstiel, laparoscopy and minilaparotomy approaches for total hysterectomy procedure in relation to benign uterine diseases.MethodsA retrospective d…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this presentation is to investigate the potential role of 3-dimensional (3D) sonography in the assessment of deep endometriosis. METHODS: Cases of deep endometriosis are presented to illustrate the spectrum of app…
OBJECTIVE: Thrombospondin-1 serum levels is correlate with pelvic pain in patients with ovarian endometriosis. PATIENTS: Thrombospondin-1 serum levels were prospectively analysed in 51 patients (group A asymptomatic patients or patients pre…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this investigation was to assess whether a correlation exists among microvascular density (MVD), expression of endothelial growth factor, and pelvic pain in patients with ovarian endometriosis. METHODS: Sixty-five pati…
ObjectiveTo assess whether a correlation exists between angiogenesis in ovarian endometrioma with the presence of pelvic pain.DesignProspective study.SettingTertiary-care university hospital.Patient(s)Sixty-five patients (mean age, 33.3 yea…
BACKGROUND: The aim of this investigation was to correlate ovarian endometrioma vascularization with the presence of pelvic pain. METHODS: The presence of blood flow, peak systolic velocity (PSV, cm/s) and lowest pulsatility index (PI), ass…
ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography alone and combined with color velocity imaging and pulsed Doppler in differentiating ovarian endometriomas from other nonendometriotic masses.DesignProspective study…
