STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the usefulness of narrowband imaging (NBI) to detect additional areas of endometriosis not identified by standard white light in patients undergoing laparoscopy for the investigation of pelvic pain. DESIGN: A pro…
BACKGROUND: To establish whether the ultrasound findings of minimal endometriosis are confirmed at laparoscopy and that a correlation can be established as to the anatomical sites in this mild form of the disease. AIMS: Patients with pain a…
To establish whether a correlation exists between pre-operative ultrasound assessment and laparoscopic findings in women referred to specialist gynecologists with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. 53 patients who had laparoscopy to inve…
STUDY QUESTION: Can the presence of endometrial nerve fibres be used as a diagnostic test for endometriosis in women with pelvic pain? SUMMARY ANSWER: Endometrial fine nerve fibres were seen in the endometrium of women both with and without…
