Endometriosis is a chronic, hormone-dependent disorder characterized by an inflammatory response. The disease affects approximately 10% of the general female population, with prevalence rates reaching 30-40% in women with dysmenorrhea and 5…
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of premenopausal women worldwide. Despite its impact on quality of life, the delay in diagnosing this chronic disease is well known. Many patients with endometriosis report having suffered from dysmen…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate transvaginal sonography (TVS) findings after laparoscopic partial cystectomy for bladder endometriosis and to correlate postsurgical ultrasound findings with symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study incl…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings in patients who underwent segmental rectosigmoid resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and to correlate postsurgical ultrasound findings with symptoms. METHODS: …
To correlate type and degree of adenomyosis, scored through a new system based on transvaginal sonographic (TVS) features, to patient's symptoms and fertility. This is a multicentre, prospective study performed in two Endometriosis tertiary…
To assess the prevalence and ultrasound features of pelvic endometriosis in adolescents. This retrospective observational study included 238 adolescents (mean age 17.7 ±1.9 yrs.) referred to our Gynecological Clinic from January 2010 to Dec…
To determine the ultrasound feasibility and the interobserver reproducibility of a new classification of pelvic endometriosis based on an integration of the Enzian classification. 52 women with ultrasound features of endometriosis were enro…
This prospective study had the objective to compare anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) serum levels among women with endometriomas and those with other benign ovarian cysts and verify a possible correlation between the AMH post-operative decline …
OBJECTIVE: To study the interobserver reproducibility of our new ultrasonographic mapping system to define the type and extension of uterine adenomyosis. DESIGN: Interobserver study involving two observers with different medical background…
Ulipristal acetate (UPA) is used for medical treatment of uterine fibroids. The aim of this study was to describe the effects on painful symptoms and the sonographic uterine modifications in patients with adenomyosis erroneously treated wit…
In the last decade, pregnancy was considered as a therapeutic period for patients affected by endometriosis and painful symptoms. However, several studies have taken into consideration how endometriosis affects pregnancy achievement and pre…
To describe sonographic findings in patients with adenomyosis erroneously treated with ulipristal acetate (UPA). This an observational ultrasound (US) study on premenopausal patients who were treated with UPA for menorrhagia and uterine fib…
To correlate type and degree of adenomyosis using a new score system based on transvaginal sonographic (TVS) features to patients symptoms and fertility. A new score system able to evaluate the degree and the extension of uterine adenomyosi…
To purpose a score system based on transvaginal sonographic features of adenomyosis to assess the severity of the disease and to evaluate the diagnostic reproducibility by intraobserver analysis. Two experienced observers performed a review…
To investigate whether or not an ovarian endometrioma detected by ultrasound was associated with other appearances of pelvic endometriosis such as adhesions and/or deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in order to improve the management of …
To evaluate the presence or absence of residual posterior disease and adhesions by 2D and 3D transvaginal sonography in patients who underwent segmental bowel resection for Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Furthermore the presence or …
The main challenges of imaging for endometriosis are the detection of nonovarian disease and the evaluation of the extension of the disease into pelvic structures. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) has been proposed as the first-line imagi…

Objective Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is a macromolecular glycoprotein. The peritoneal fluid of women affected by endometriosis shows a significant increase of PAPP-A levels. Given the important role of PAPP-A in first tr…
