Background: Cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE) is a rare complication (0.03%-1.7%) following cesarean sections, caused by endometrial tissue implantation in the incision site. Symptoms include abdominal mass, scar swelling, and cyclic pain. …
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Adenomyosis, characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, causes chronic pelvic pain, heavy bleeding, and reduced fertility. Nowadays, diagnosis relies heavily on imaging, primarily transvaginal ultr…
To evaluate the efficacy of VR for alleviating pain and anxiety in patients undergoing transvaginal sonography (TVS) for endometriosis. This was a prospective randomised controlled study, carried out at a single tertiary center between Dece…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes in the ultrasound characteristics of decidualized non-ovarian endometriotic lesions that occur during pregnancy and after delivery. METHODS: This was a prospective observational cohort study carried out at…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in predicting deep endometriosis (DE) following the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus methodology. METHODS: This was an international m…
The gold standard for endometriosis diagnosis is laparoscopy, affecting a diagnostic delay of 8 years on average. We aimed to evaluate factors responsible for delay in endometriosis diagnosis in women attending a tertiary referral endometri…
Hysterosalpingo-foam sonography (HyFoSy) is considered an acceptable alternative for hysterosalpingography (HSG). By combining HyFoSy with two and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) ultrasound and hysterosonography, a complete fertility work-up …
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) to predict overall deep endometriosis (DE) and DE locations by applying the IDEA terminology. This was an international, multicentre prospective diagnostic accuracy study …
To describe the natural history of pelvic findings with enhanced vascularity found during pregnancy in women suffering from endometriosis. This is a prospective observational cohort study carried out at a single tertiary centre. Pregnant wo…
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings suggestive of endometriosis. Materials and Methods A prospective design. Women referred for a diagnostic ultras…
External validation of the IOTA classification of adnexal masses as benign or malignant in women with suspected endometriomas. Retrospective study including women referred to an endometriosis tertiary referral centre between 2011-2016. All …
Evaluation of the uterine cavity, tubal patency and the ovaries is an essential part of fertility work-up, traditionally done by two-dimensional ultrasound (2D US), hysterosalpingography (HSG) or hysteroscopy. The implementation of foam hys…
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the development of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, but its cause remains largely unknown. Numerous genes have been studied and proposed to help explain its pathogenesis. However, the large …
OBJECTIVE: To assess the learning curves of trainees during a structured offline/hands-on training program for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: Four trainees (all Ob/Gyn postgraduates with at…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Bladder involvement is rare in endometriosis. The prevalence is estimated to be ∼1% in patients with endometriosis. However, this figure seems to be an underestimation. The diagnosis of bladder endometriosis might be missed…
Women with endometriosis often have gastrointestinal complaints (GIC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between these complaints and findings on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). A prospective observational study includi…
To assess if a structured off-line training program improves diagnostic performance of gynecologist in evaluation of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). A two week training program was conducted. One day was devoted to theo…
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography in comparison with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This diagnostic test study included 117 patients scheduled for surgery becau…
