Hysteroscopic metroplasty improves reproductive outcomes in women with a dysmorphic uterus, but the impact of adenomyosis in these patients is uncertain. We retrospectively analysed 69 women who underwent metroplasty for a dysmorphic uterus…

OBJECTIVE: Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to ultrasound imaging in gynecology, efforts to synthesize the available evidence have been inadequate. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and ev…

Tailgut cysts (or rectal cyst hamartomas) are retrorectal developmental cysts. They originate from the tailgut and embryological remnants of neuroenteric canal in the presacral-retrorectal space. At macroscopy, they are usually multilocular…

ObjectiveTo develop and validate magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-based radiomics models for high-risk endometrial cancer (EC) prediction preoperatively, to be able to estimate deep myometrial invasion (DMI) and lymphovascular space invasion…

Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) is an imaging technique already used in different surgical scenarios, nevertheless only few case series have been published on the role of IOUS in gynecologic surgery. The aim of this study was to describe a…

Ultrasound examination is an indisputable imaging method in the diagnosis of endometriosis, as the first step in the detection, as the fundamental tool in planning the management, and as the best diagnostic instrument during surveillance of…

Ovarian endometriomas are classified as benign ovarian lesions. During pregnancy endometriomas may undergo major morphological changes which are referred to as ‘decidualisation'. Decidualised ovarian endometrioma may resemble malignant ovar…

ObjectiveTubal patency in women with endometriosis has traditionally been evaluated by laparoscopy. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) in the assessment of tubal patency in …
