To determine the accuracy of office gel sonovaginography in predicting the depth of infiltration of bowel DIE. A retrospective review of 20 patients who had segmental resections for bowel endometriosis over a 4 year period. Each patient had…

Objectives: Cerebral white matter injury, consisting primarily of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (PVHI) is well-described in premature infants. However, typical lesions of PVL and PVHI are unco…

To generate and evaluate new mathematical models to predict POD obliteration in women scheduled for laparoscopy with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09–Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) +/− history o…

In a recent study by Hudelist et al, UOG 2013, the authors concluded that the “uterine sliding sign” demonstrated by transvaginal sonography (TVS) was a simple predictor of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum in patients wit…

To determine whether the presence of site-specific tenderness during TVS corresponds with the location of peritoneal endometriosis at surgery for women with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study undertaken fr…

To evaluate the relationship between the position of uterus on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) at laparoscopy. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09-Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic…

To determine the association between the presence of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at transvaginal ulatrsound (TVS) and surgical findings at laparoscopy in women with endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study underta…

Ultrasound techniques currently employed in the definition of posterior compartment deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) are now well described. These include the sonovaginography, first described by Dessole in 2003, for mapping the locati…

Introduction: Endometriosis is a chronic peritoneal disease that may progress as a deep infiltrating lesion involving the posterior compartment of the pelvis. Efforts to improve pre-operative knowledge of the location and extent of these le…
