Traditionally, laparoscopy was considered to be the gold standard for the examination of endometriotic lesions, because it allows their direct visualization. Several international and national guidelines have now shifted their focus to non-…

OBJECTIVE: To perform an updated meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for detecting lateral parametrial involvement in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: A literature sea…

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has revolutionized the diagnosis of deep endometriosis. We can now accurately describe and evaluate lesions in multiple compartments of the pelvis, increasing diagnostic capac…

Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a …

to investigate the prevalence of a new three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound marker of presence of adenomyosis, the roots sign. We evaluated the prevalence roots sign in a series of 48 volumes suspected for the presence of direct and indirect u…

The actual prevalence of superficial endometriosis is not known. However, it is considered as the most common subtype of endometriosis. The diagnosis of superficial endometriosis remains difficult. In fact, little is known about the ultraso…

In recent years, due to the development of standardized diagnostic protocols associated with an improvement in the associated technology, the diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis using imaging is becoming a reality. In particular, transvaginal…

To evaluate reproductive results of patients presenting adenomyosis under Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria who underwent assisted reproductive techniques (ART) using oocyte donation or preimplantation genetic test…

BACKGROUND: Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used for the clinical diagnosis of adenomyosis. OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of TVS and MRI for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. SEARCH STRATE…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for detecting parametrial deep endometriosis, using laparoscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: A search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science for studies…

The role of ultrasound in the detection of the parametrial localisation of deep endometriosis although associated with ureteral stenosis and linked with a complex surgery with a high risk of intra and post-operative complications, is poor i…

The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) to detect parametrial endometriosis, using laparoscopy as the reference standard. A search for studies evaluating the TVS for assessi…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes of the posterior compartment of the pelv…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of endometriosis of uterosacral ligaments. Input data to the models was retrieved…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of forniceal endometriotic involvement. Input data to the models was retrieved fr…

Two main theories have been proposed to explain the origin of adenomyosis. The first theory postulated that adenomyosis results from invagination of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium as a repair mechanism after injury. Alternative…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of uterosacral involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. We included in this prospective observational study all patients wi…
