OBJECTIVE: Surgery is a therapeutic option for patients with deep endometriosis presenting with infertility and/or pain refractory to medical treatment. Major postoperative complications may impair quality of life and delay the initiation o…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the safety, feasibility and imaging outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation as a minimally invasive treatment for umbilical endometriosis (UE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2017 and December 2024,…

Résumé La stratégie diagnostique de première ligne de l’endométriose pelvienne, mise en œuvre par le médecin généraliste, la sage-femme et/ou le gynécologue, repose sur l’interrogatoire et/ou l’examen clinique. En cas de symptômes et/ou sig…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, interobserver reproducibility, reporting efficiency, and perceived clinical impact of the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) when implemented as part of structured MRI reporting in routine clinical …

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder in women of reproductive age. It is the leading cause of chronic pelvic pain. While the mechanisms underlying this pain remain elusive, rare cases of pelvic nerve involvement can result in…

Endometriosis is a chronic and disabling gynecological disease that affects women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometrio…

Endometriosis is a common crippling disease in women of reproductive age. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the cornerstone radiological technique for both the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. While its sensitivity, e…

OBJECTIVES: We studied a post operative classification of surgical complexity in endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective monocentric observational study was conducted between January 2001 to December 2019 and included 764 women with DE …

Importance: Preoperative mapping of deep pelvic endometriosis (DPE) is crucial as surgery can be complex and the quality of preoperative information is key. Objective: To evaluate the Deep Pelvic Endometriosis Index (dPEI) magnetic resonanc…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this consensus article was to develop guidelines by a focused panel of experts to elaborate a lexicon of image interpretation, and a standardized region-based reporting of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with m…

STUDY QUESTION: Is an MRI classification of deep pelvic endometriosis (DE) able to correctly predict the risk of DE surgery. SUMMARY ANSWER: A new radiological classification, that we have called the deep pelvic endometriosis index (dPEI) c…

The diagnosis of pelvic endometriosis is based on the combination of clinical examination, endovaginal ultrasonography and pelvic MRI. Ultrasonography displays a moderate sensitivity and a high specificity. Pelvien MRI displays a better sen…
