Advances in preoperative diagnostics as well as in surgical techniques for the treatment of endometriosis, especially for deep endometriosis, call for a classification system, that includes all aspects of the disease such as peritoneal endo…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the agreement of measurements of the three diameters of rectosigmoid deep endometriosis (DE) lesions between presurgical evaluation using transvaginal sonography (TVS) and postsurgical specimen measurement (PSM). …

The study aims to determine the anatomic distribution of DE, provide an epidemiological overview based on advanced transvaginal ultrasound (aTVS), and describe the possible relationship with clinical features obtained with the World Endomet…

This study's objective was to develop a model to predict the need for ureterolysis (i.e. dissection of the ureter) during laparoscopy for endometriosis. Ureterolysis may be considered an advanced laparoscopic procedure not usually performed…

The study objective is to evaluate how many scans are necessary for trainees with intermediate sonography experience to be proficient in diagnosing endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments (USL), torus uterinus (TU) and pouch of Douglas (…

We will demonstrate that with intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (iTVS), it is possible to identify the posterior compartment structures, special attention to the uterosacral ligaments and the pouch of Douglas (POD) peritoneum. This tec…

51-year-old female, multiparous, referred for left ovarian “complex” mass on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). The symptoms' summary: menorrhagia; dysmenorrhoea 7/10; dyspareunia 0/10; dyschezia 2/10; dysuria 0/10. Final advanced TVS conclusio…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that affects pelvic structures and causes adhesions. Endometriosis outside the pelvis exists but is rarer. Deep endometriosis may affect organs such as the urinary bladder,…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to validate temporally and externally the ultrasound-based endometriosis staging system (UBESS) to predict the level of complexity of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis. DESIGN: A multicenter,…

In transverse, this clip shows the right and left ovary both contain an endometrioma and the ovaries are fixed to each other medially, known as “kissing ovaries.” They are densely adherent to an area that also contains bowel deep endometrio…

Large rectal deep endometriosis nodule completely fixed to the fundus of a retroverted, retroflexed uterus, resulting in complete rectouterine pouch obliteration (negative sliding sign).

COVID-19 has led to new obstacles in the care for women with endometriosis. With many centers around the globe temporarily ceasing outpatient appointments, diagnostic imaging for non-acute pelvic pain, surgery for endometriosis, and fertili…

Abstract We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools…

We aim to describe the diagnosis and surgical management of urinary tract endometriosis (UTE). We detail current diagnostic tools, including advanced transvaginal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and surgical diagnostic tools such as…

This opinion article is endorsed by the World Endometriosis Society (WES) and the International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS)The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic shift in the clinical practice of women’s health and routine…

We are proposing a shift in mindset in the field of endometriosis, whereby care for patients with endometriosis mirrors that of patients with gynaecological cancer. To achieve this, we advocate for the recognition of complex benign gynaecol…

Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been demonstrated to have a high diagnostic accuracy for ovarian endometriomas (OE), deep endometriosis (DE) and pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration when performed and …

Given the challenges of the current coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic and to protect both patients and ultrasound providers (physicians, sonographers, allied professionals), the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecolo…

Can technology help provide answers to a complex condition? This guide demonstrates how to use ultrasound as a first-line diagnostic tool.

To determine the relationship between a negative ovarian sliding sign (i.e. fixed ovary) at transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) and surgical skill level required for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, according to the Royal Australian and New Ze…

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 …
