ABSTRACT Objective To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) with surgical assessment of disease, using the #Enzian classification for endometr…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effectiveness and reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative near-infrared indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) analyses as a tool for anastomotic perfusion assessment after full-thickness bowel resection for rectosigmoid…

Background and Objective: The indication and techniques of endometriosis surgery changed rapidly over the last 40 years since better understanding the disease and an improved diagnosis. This review will therefore include a short discussion …

Endometriosis and pelvic pain are associated. However, only half of the subtle and typical, and not all cystic and deep lesions are painful. The mechanism of the pain is explained by cyclical trauma and repair, an inflammatory reaction, act…

Advances in preoperative diagnostics as well as in surgical techniques for the treatment of endometriosis, especially for deep endometriosis, call for a classification system, that includes all aspects of the disease such as peritoneal endo…

ObjectiveTo show the surgical steps used to perform a totally laparoscopic segmental rectal resection, with intracorporeal anastomosis and transanal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE), in a context of deep endometriosis.DesignStep-b…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that affects pelvic structures and causes adhesions. Endometriosis outside the pelvis exists but is rarer. Deep endometriosis may affect organs such as the urinary bladder,…

ObjectiveTo show the surgical steps used to perform a rectal disc excision in the context of deep infiltrating endometriosis characterized by contiguity between an intestinal lesion and the retrocervical region.DesignStep-by-step video demo…

Study objectiveTo identify bowel nodule features of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) measured through preoperative ultrasound scanning that influence laparoscopic surgical strategy.DesignA retrospective study.SettingMalzoni Clinic-Endo…

Study objectiveTo demonstrate the surgical steps involved in segmental rectosigmoid resection and reanastomosis in a deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) setting.DesignStep-by-step video demonstration of the technique.SettingDespite effort…

Abstract Background To review women with symptomatic and clinically progressive endometriosis after menopause in the absence of estrogen intake or excessive systemic endogenous production. Design Seven case reports and a systematic review o…

Study objectiveTo assess the sensitivity and accuracy of combined transvaginal/ transabdominal ultrasonography (TV/TA US) for evaluation of deep infiltrating bowel endometriosis nodules measured after surgery.DesignProspective study (Canadi…

Study objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic segmental bowel resection for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).DesignRetrospective clinical study (Canadian Task Force classification II-3).SettingEndoscopica Malzon…

ObjectivesDeep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) represents the most complex form of endometriosis and its treatment is still challenging. The coexistence of DIE with other appearances of endometriosis stimulates new studies to improve the p…

Laparoscopic treatment of deep endometriosis is the most challenging surgery for gynecologists. The difficulties of this approach are associate with a quite large number of complications. Presurgical sonographic diagnostic findings are ofte…

The aim of this study was to review the sonographic aspects of bladder endometriosis and to establish their usefulness for surgical management. 51 patients with histologically confirmed bladder endometriosis underwent sonographic evaluation…

ObjectiveTo assess the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) in defining size and location of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with laparoscopic/histologic confirmation.DesignProspective observational study.SettingUniversity hospit…
