OC13.02: Ultrasound in the detection of rectal- and distal sigmoid involvement of deep endometriosis
Accurate prediction of the extent of distal bowel involvement in case of deep endometriosis could help in the planning of surgery: if the endometriotic lesion does superficially (only serosa) involve the bowel wall, conventional operative (…
