OBJECTIVES: To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement among sonologists when assessing offline ultrasound (US) video sets of the "sliding sign" and among gynecologic surgeons when assessing corresponding laparoscopi…

article 2015
·doi:10.1002/uog.15237

To determine whether the presence of transvaginal sonographic (TVS) soft markers of ovarian mobility, site specific tenderness (SST) are significantly associated with endometriosis type and location at surgery. Multicentre prospective obser…

Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1002/uog.14756

We read with interest the comments from Noventa et al. regarding the difficulty in identifying the best ‘first-line’ approach for the diagnosis of site-specific deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the posterior compartment. Indeed, the…

Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology ·doi:10.1002/uog.13422

OBJECTIVE: To use office gel sonovaginography (SVG) to predict posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in women undergoing laparoscopy. METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study carried out between January 2009…

article 2014
·doi:10.1002/uog.13567

To determine whether the presence of site-specific tenderness during transvaginal scan (TVS) corresponds with the location of peritoneal endometriosis at laparoscopy in women with normal POD and no deep infiltrating endometriosis. Multi-cen…

article 2014
·doi:10.1002/uog.13568

To determine whether there is an association between pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at laparoscopy and site specific tenderness during TVS. Multi-center prospective observational study undertaken from January 2009 to February 2013. All…

article 2014
·doi:10.1002/uog.14540

To determine whether there is an association between specific symptoms and surgical findings in women with suspected endometriosis. Multi-center prospective observational study undertaken from January 2009 to February 2013. All women includ…

·doi:10.1002/uog.12584

Objectives: Cerebral white matter injury, consisting primarily of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (PVHI) is well-described in premature infants. However, typical lesions of PVL and PVHI are unco…

article 2013
·doi:10.1002/uog.12585

To generate and evaluate new mathematical models to predict POD obliteration in women scheduled for laparoscopy with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09–Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) +/− history o…

article 2013
·doi:10.1002/uog.12586

In a recent study by Hudelist et al, UOG 2013, the authors concluded that the “uterine sliding sign” demonstrated by transvaginal sonography (TVS) was a simple predictor of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum in patients wit…

article 2013
·doi:10.1002/uog.12853

To determine whether the presence of site-specific tenderness during TVS corresponds with the location of peritoneal endometriosis at surgery for women with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study undertaken fr…

To evaluate the relationship between the position of uterus on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) at laparoscopy. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09-Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic…

article 2013
·doi:10.1002/uog.13127

To determine the association between the presence of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at transvaginal ulatrsound (TVS) and surgical findings at laparoscopy in women with endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study underta…
