Diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE) is a frequently underdiagnosed manifestation of deep endometriosis (DE), typically occurring in patients with advanced pelvic disease. Accurate preoperative detection remains challenging, as standard lapar…

Deep endometriosis affecting the lateral pelvic structures (LPS) is a complex and often underdiagnosed manifestation of the disease. The authors review the anatomic features of the LPS and underscore the importance of MRI in detecting lesio…

Endometriosis is a complex, multicompartmental disease in which accurately conveying the extent of involvement to the surgical team is essential for preoperative planning and patient counseling. In this context, medical illustrations have g…

Endometriosis involving the bowel is a severe form of the disease, and the bowel is the most common site of extragenital endometriosis. Surface lesions of the bowel are considered peritoneal disease. Bowel endometriosis (BE) is defined as e…

Endometriosis, a chronic and multifocal inflammatory condition with a substantial estrogen-dependent component, is often linked to infertility. Some patients with endometriosis may require surgical intervention or assisted reproductive tech…

OBJECTIVE: To propose an update of ESUR endometriosis guidelines to reflect advances in MRI protocol and lexicon. METHODS: A literature search was followed by a DELPHI process among 20 experts. RESULTS: Pre-imaging preparation, including …

Endometriosis is a common condition primarily impacting women of childbearing age. Despite increasing awareness that endometriosis can be diagnosed non-invasively with the correct imaging techniques, there exists a significant delay in diag…

Adenomyosis, characterized by heterotopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, is a common yet poorly understood condition affecting patients of childbearing age. Although typical features of adenomyosis are extensively discussed in th…

Endometriosis is the presence of hormonally sensitive endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. It is a common condition, affecting 10% of reproductive-age people assigned as female at birth. Although usually occurring in the pelvis, it c…

Adenomyosis is a common, estrogen-dependent condition where endometrial tissue grows within the myometrium, often accompanied by smooth muscle hypertrophy. Initially thought to represent a condition primarily seen in multiparas with menorrh…

Endometriosis impacts millions of women globally, making precise assessment essential for effective surgical planning and clinical management. Despite advances in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagn…

Endometriosis is a common condition that mostly affects people assigned as female at birth. The most common clinical symptom of endometriosis is pain. Although the mechanism for this pain is poorly understood, in some cases, the nerves are …

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. It occurs most often in reproductive-aged patients and less frequently in postmenopausal women. In postmen…

Endometriosis is a common condition impacting approximately 190 million individuals and up to 50% of women with infertility globally. The disease is characterized by endometrial-like tissue located outside of the uterine corpus, which cause…

Endometriosis is a prevalent and potentially debilitating condition that mostly affects individuals of reproductive age, and often has a substantial diagnostic delay. US is usually the first-line imaging modality used when patients report c…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition affecting 10-15% of women in the reproductive age group. The urinary tract is the second most common extragenital organ system affected by endometriosis, and the urinary bladde…

Introduction: endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the endometrium affects the peritoneum, which can infiltrate structures and organs such as the bowel, ureter, bladder or vagina and is usually accompanied by an inflammatory process.…

Endometrosis is a common gynecologic disease that affects women of reproductive age and commonly causes pelvic pain and infertility. The most common types are superficial peritoneal implants, ovarian endometriotic cysts (endometriomas), and…

PurposeTo compare the performance of imaging interpretation, intra- and inter-reader agreement between an abbreviated (aMRI) and full (fMRI) MRI protocol for diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis.MethodsSeventy consecutive fMRI exams performed …

Deeply infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is a common gynecologic disease affecting women of reproductive age and often causing chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Clinical treatment options and preventive actions are ineffective due to the …

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the effects and applications of a robotic minimally invasive bowel-segmental resection, following intracorporeal anastomosis for treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). The procedu…
