BACKGROUND: Rectosigmoid endometriosis is an underdiagnosed disease responsible for abdominal pain, transit disorders and rectal bleeding. Two surgical approaches, rectosigmoid bowel resection (segmental or patch) or intramuscular layer dis…

ObjectiveTo compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis.MethodsIn retrospective study, 407 patients operated on service of gynecology of Tenon…

Recto-sigmoid endoscopic ultrasonography (RS-EUS) has first been used in the staging of pelvic deep infiltrating endometriosis in the early 1990's. Since then, although publications have been sparse, RS-EUS is routinely used for this indica…

OBJECTIVE: We conducted a prospective study to assess the long-term results of complete surgery for low rectal endometriosis (LRE), paying particular attention to surgical complications, functional results, and disease recurrence after a fo…

ObjectiveTo compare the value of physical examination, transvaginal sonography (TVS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of different locations of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) has important advantages compared with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS): it is less invasive, is cost-effective, is a familiar and well-accepted approach, and anesthesia is not required. We …

BACKGROUND: We compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE), with respect to surgical and histological findings. METHODS: Longitudinal …

OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), with respect to surgical and histological findings. METHODS: This was a …

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography (REU) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting rectal wall involvement in patients presenting histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). …

UNLABELLED: Deep pelvic endometriosis may lead to severe pain, the treatment of which may require complete surgical resection of lesions. Digestive infiltration is a difficult therapeutic problem. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and dig…

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The main area of the gastrointestinal tract affected by deep pelvic endometriosis is the rectosigmoid colon in 3-37% of cases. Due to the risk of infiltration and the clinical symptoms of endometriosis, with pain …

The objective of this work was to assess the advantages and the role of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) when establishing evidence of infiltration of the rectal wall in patients with proven deep pelvic endometriosis. To this end we …
