Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine ·doi:10.1002/jum.15022

Women with infertility are often investigated with saline-infusion sonohysterography and hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography. The high prevalence of endometriosis in this population also warrants an evaluation with transvaginal ultrasound f…

We believe the uterosacral ligaments (USLs) are an essential key to resolving the dilemma of diagnosing endometriosis non-invasively. This editorial will utilise laparoscopic and ultrasonographic figures and videos, along with written descr…

OBJECTIVE: Deep endometriosis transvaginal ultrasound (DE TVS) is accurate in the detection of ovarian endometriosis and DE; however, realisation of its full potential and utilisation remains variable. As such, patients may require a two-st…

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/1471-0528.15916

BACKGROUND: The aetiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis are still under investigation. There is evidence that there is a complex bidirectional interaction between endometriosis and the microbiome. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the…

We aim to demonstrate whether the WERF EPHect questionnaire can be used as a triaging tool to determine which women, based upon symptoms, are more likely to have ovarian and posterior compartment endometriosis on ultrasound. Prospective obs…

Saline-infusion sonoPODography (SPG) is a novel ultrasound procedure that involves introducing fluid into the pouch of Douglas (POD) via the uterus and tubes to create an acoustic window and enhanced contrast between tissues in the posterio…

We believe the proposed USL-DE classification system provides a simple and standardised approach to describe such lesions, which may prove to assist sonologists and surgeons in their ability to predict ureteral involvement and/or the need t…

We have read the article entitled “Laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis and predictors of major complications: a retrospective cohort study” by Clark et al1 with great interest. It has been reported that major complications following lap…

Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration can be predicted with a high degree of certainty in patients with symptoms of endometriosis using transvaginal ultrasound (TVS). Studies on POD obliteration and the sliding sign, as part of an expert-guid…

We aim to evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of deep endometriosis transvaginal ultrasound (DE TVS) in the presence and absence of ovarian endometriomas (OEs). This was a multicentre observational study of prospectively collected …

Our primary goal was to compare how obstetrician-gynecologists (OBGYNs) in four English-speaking regions (Australia/New Zealand (ANZ), Canada (CAN), United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US)) think of and use transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) …

We aimed to evaluate the learning curve of gynecological sonology trainees to correctly classify pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration state and identify rectal deep endometriosis (DE) in real-time while simultaneously performing and interpre…

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement among sonologists when assessing offline ultrasound (US) video sets of the "sliding sign" and among gynecologic surgeons when assessing corresponding laparoscopi…

The uterosacral ligaments (USL) have been reported to be the most common site of deep endometriosis (DE) in the pelvis1. A nodule within the USL may infiltrate the parametrium, increasing the complexity of surgical resection, and larger nod…
