OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic performance of each additional step of the four-step International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus protocol for predicting the presence of deep endometriosis (DE) on transvaginal ultrasoun…

BACKGROUND: Inter-observer agreement for the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) 2021 Endometriosis Classification staging system has not been described. Its predecessor staging system, the revised American Society for…

In March 2022 Australian Medicare Benefits Schedule updated gynecological item numbers relating to endometriosis surgery. Specific item numbers include 35637, 35631 and 35632 (a division of 35638) and 35641 (14). Each item number correlates…

With the ESHRE 2022 endometriosis guideline outlining the ‘gold standard’ for endometriosis diagnosis is now imaging, the prior mantra of “see and treat” at time of laparoscopy now has a new meaning. The rASRM, AAGL, UBESS, #ENZIAN and EFI …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Externally validate the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) staging system against surgical complexity and compare diagnostic accuracy with revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) st…

Objective To externally validate the “2021 AAGL Endometriosis Classification” staging system. Design Retrospective, diagnostic accuracy study Setting Multicentre Population or Sample Two hundred and seventy-two endometriosis patients (Janua…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive age women. It is associated with abdomino-pelvic pain, infertility and other n…

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease that can cause pain, infertility and reduced quality of life. Diagnosing endometriosis remains challenging, which yields diagnostic delays for patients. Research on diagnostic test accuracy in end…

The modified ultrasound-based endometriosis staging system (M-UBESS) and Ca-125 endometriosis severity prediction model aims to incorporate transvaginal ultrasound (endometrioma, POD obliteration, ovarian fixation, uterosacral ligament(USL)…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether ovarian fixation at transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is a marker for a need for laparoscopic pelvic sidewall surgery (ie, ureterolysis or dissection of adhesions involving the pelvic sidewall). The relationship…

Study objectiveThe 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.DesignA multicenter, inter…

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…

ObjectiveIt is well-established that there is a strong association between ovarian endometriomas (OE) and deep endometriosis (DE) and rectouterine pouch (RP) obliteration. We aimed to determine the prevalence of DE and RP obliteration in th…
