STUDY OBJECTIVE: To estimate the association between urinary symptoms and quality of life in patients with posterior deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with anatomical locations of endometriosis. DESIGN: Prospective nonrandomized study …

OBJECTIVE: We report the first randomized trial of laparoscopically assisted versus open colorectal resection for endometriosis focusing on perioperative complications, improvement in symptoms, quality of life, and fertility. SUMMARY OF BA…

This retrospective study of women undergoing IVF (29 with colorectal endometriosis, 157 with tubal factor infertility, and 340 with male factor infertility) found similar fertility outcomes between the groups.

BACKGROUND: Thin-section oblique axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful in staging endometrial and cervical carcinomas but there are no data on its contribution to assessing deep endometriosis. We evaluated the contribution of thi…

Pelvic endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. There are three types: endometrial cysts, superficial peritoneal lesions and lesions of deep endometriotic location1. It can be associated wit…

PURPOSE: To prospectively evaluate the ability of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to assess physiological microvascular states in normal myometrium. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-five women (62 women of repro…

Au cours des deux dernieres decennies, l’endometriose s’est imposee comme une pathologie emergente dont l’incidence ne cesse de croitre avec des arguments epidemiologiques majeurs suggerant l’implication dans sa genese, y compris pour les l…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition affecting 10 to 15% of the female population. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is diagnosed in 20% of women with endometriosis. Moreover, bowel endometriosis is found in five to 12% of…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the value of physical examination, transvaginal sonography (TVS), rectal endoscopic sonography (RES), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the assessment of different locations of deep infiltrating endometriosis (D…

This is a review of different diseases implicated in chronic pelvic pain (endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic varices, and pelvic chronic inflammatory disease) assessed by different imaging modalities (US, CT, MRI).

La prise en charge medicale d’une infertilite du couple est fonction de la ou des causes de l’infertilite. L’IRM est de seconde intention pour la prise en charge d’une patiente infertile pour l’enquete etiologique (infertilite d’origine mas…

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine transvaginal hydrolaparoscopy (THL) practices in French tertiary care centers. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal study (Canadian Task Force classification III). SETTING: University hospital in France. PARTICIPA…

Surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis can relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. However, few data are available on complications, especially urinary disorders. The aim of this longitudinal study (Canadian Task Force classifica…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colorectal resection for endometriosis can improve quality of life (QOL), but the results vary widely from one woman to another. The aim of this study was to determine whether the preoperative results on the Physica…

Deep infiltrating (or pelvic) endometriosis may involve the uterosacral ligaments, the rectum, the vagina and rectovaginal septum, the pouch of Douglas and, occasionally, the bladder. Assessment by physical examination is difficult, and MRI…

BACKGROUND: We compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE), with respect to surgical and histological findings. METHODS: Longitudinal…
