INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term outcomes in terms of pain, quality of life (QoL), and gastrointestinal symptoms in women following colorectal surgery for deep endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this hi…

Abstract Study question What is the impact of laparoscopic conventional or NOSE colorectal resection on bowel function in patients with deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum one year postoperatively? Summary answer Both conventional an…

INTRODUCTION: Surgical experience and hospital procedure volumes have been associated with the risk of severe complications in expert centers for endometriosis in France. However, little is known about other certified units in Central Europ…

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic disease that can cause pain, infertility and reduced quality of life. Diagnosing endometriosis remains challenging, which yields diagnostic delays for patients. Research on diagnostic test accuracy in end…

Endometriosis of the urinary tract (UTE) is rare, but has great impact on the patient. An infestation of the urinary bladder has typical symptoms and can be diagnosed relatively well and reliably. Depending on the size and location of the l…

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 endometriosis. …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare a preoperative evaluation of deep endometriosis (DE) by transvaginal sonography (TVS) according to the Enzian classification with the intraoperatively assessed extent of DE using the Enzian system. DESIGN: Prosp…

PURPOSE: To assess whether C‑reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) and body temperature changes are suitable parameters for the early detection of septic complications following resection of colorectal deep endometriosis (DE)…

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…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the agreement of measurements of the three diameters of rectosigmoid deep endometriosis (DE) lesions between presurgical evaluation using transvaginal sonography (TVS) and postsurgical specimen measurement (PSM). …

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,…

Endometriotic lesions may affect peritoneal and ovarian tissues, cause secondary adhesions, and - in case of deep endometriosis (DE), invade organs such as the urinary bladder, ureters, and bowel. Over decades, several classification system…

Zusammenfassung Endometriose ist eine häufige benigne Erkrankung, welche Infertilität und verschiedene Symptome wie chronische Unterbauchschmerzen, Dysmenorrhö, Dyschezie, Dysurie und Dyspareunie verursachen kann. Häufig sind oberflächliche…

INTRODUCTION: There is increasing evidence that intermediate and long-term bowel dysfunction may occur as a consequence of radical surgery for rectal deep endometriosis (DE). Typical symptoms include constipation, feeling of incomplete evac…

To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) to predict overall deep endometriosis (DE) and DE locations by applying the IDEA terminology. This was an international, multicentre prospective diagnostic accuracy study …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether gynecologic surgical trainees (fellows) can become competent in the real-time classification of the pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration state and direct visualization of bowel deep endometriosis (DE) during a…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis is not fully taken into account by the currently most widely used classification system of endometriosis, the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) score, and rASRM stages correlate only …

Imaging of endometriosis and in particular deep endometriosis (DE) is crucial in the clinical management of women facing this debilitating condition. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is the first-line imaging method and magnetic resonance imag…

OBJECTIVES: First, to investigate the accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) for presurgical evaluation of the distance between the most caudal part of the endometriotic lesion and the anal verge (lesion-to-anal-verge distance (LAVD)) in…

Comparison of preoperative staging with transvaginal sonography (TVS) using the Enzian classification and surgical findings in women undergoing surgery for deep endometriosis (DE). Observational study of women undergoing TVS and surgery for…
