BACKGROUND: Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) has important advantages compared with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS): it is less invasive, is cost-effective, is a familiar and well-accepted approach, and anesthesia is not required. We …

OBJECTIVE: It has been hypothesized that bladder endometriotic nodules are an independent form of endometriosis that should be considered a distinct clinical entity. If this is true, the frequency of nonvesical endometriotic lesions in affe…

BACKGROUND: To investigate whether knowledge of the anatomical distribution of histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions contributes to understanding the pathogenesis. METHODS: Observational study between June 1…
