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 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 …
The right side of the ovary (when watching the video) is noted to slide smoothly over the pelvic sidewall laterally, suggesting that it is mobile in this dimension.
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…
OBJECTIVES: Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration can be predicted with a high degree of certainty and reproducibility using the dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) sliding-sign technique. So far, studies on POD obliteration prediction have…
Viewers should focus their eyes on the area closest to the probe, the vagina. With the application of pressure, the operator is attempting to understand whether the bowel is tethered, which it is (demonstrated by the acute angle of the rect…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether gynecologic surgical trainees (fellows) can become competent in the real-time classification of the pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration state and direct visualization of bowel deep endometriosis (DE) during a…
The care of patients with endometriosis has been complicated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Medical and allied healthcare appointments and surgeries are being temporarily postponed. Mandatory self-isolation has created…
ObjectiveTo perform a pilot diagnostic accuracy study of a novel transvaginal ultrasonography procedure called saline-infusion sonoPODography to predict superficial endometriosis in patients with suspected endometriosis.Study designA prospe…
The gold standard for diagnosis of endometriosis remains direct visualization at laparoscopy and histological confirmation. However, ultrasound is emerging as a key modality in detecting endometriosis. This case demonstrates how ultrasound …
OBJECTIVES: First, to investigate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for presurgical evaluation of the distance between the most caudal part of the endometriotic lesion and the anal verge (lesion-to-anal-verge distance (LAVD)) in…
Study objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound in predicting a laparoscopic, surgically assigned, revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) endometriosis stage.DesignA multicenter, retrospective…
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound has been demonstrated to accurately diagnose rectal deep endometriosis (DE) and pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration. The role of ultrasound in the assessment of patients who have undergone surgery for rectal DE and PO…
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the learning curve of gynecologic surgical fellows (ie, in training) to properly identify the ureters in real time while simultaneously performing and interpreting transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) examinations. METHODS…
A hypoechoic deep endometriosis nodule is noted within the hyperechoic uterosacral ligament.
A hypoechoic deep endometriosis nodule is noted within the hyperechoic uterosacral ligament, infiltrating the parametrium
We aimed to assess the knowledge of the lay general population regarding the utility and availability of tools to diagnosis endometriosis, with special attention on ultrasound. An international cross-sectional e-mail survey study was perfor…
Considered an advanced surgical skill, ureterolysis is necessary to ensure safe surgical treatment of endometriosis. The objective of this study was to develop a decision tree model to predict the need for ureterolysis during laparoscopy fo…
(Abstracted from J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2020;27:390–407) Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by endometrium-like lesions outside the uterus. Pelvic pain and infertility are hallmarks of the disorder.
