OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis significantly affects patients' quality of life, yet its management remains challenging due to diagnostic delays and symptom complexity. Therapeutic patient education (TPE) is effective in chronic disease management…

ObjectiveTo draw up recommendations on the use of prophylactic gynecologic procedures during surgery for other indications.DesignA consensus panel of 19 experts was convened. A formal conflict of interest policy was established at the onset…

Rectal endoscopic ultrasonography completes the iconographic assessment of Deep Pelvic Endometriosis (DPE) with a diagnostic sensitivity of 90% for bowel involvement. No study has evaluated the value of endoscopic ultrasound with elastograp…

Adenomyosis is frequent, mostly asymptomatic. A hypertrophy of the smooth muscular cells around ectopic endometrial glands might induce a compressive syndrome. We report the case of an embolization of a voluminous adenomyosic uterus which h…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to define relevant MRI signs allowing preoperative diagnosis of posterior cul-de-sac obliteration in patients with deep pelvic endometriosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included…

MRI has emerged for several years as the imaging examination of second-line indications in the majority of female pelvic imaging, after ultrasonography. Recent technical advances have allowed the widespread use of new MRI sequences, allowin…

OBJECTIVE: MRI was the first imaging technique to permit the visualization of the uterine junctional zone and remains the imaging method of choice to evaluate it and its associated pathology. CONCLUSION: Adenomyosis can be diagnosed using M…

Many atypical locations for deep endometriosis exist that are not well known to both the radiologist and gynecologist. This work explores these unusual localizations, which we have arbitrarily grouped under the term "anterior endometriosis"…

PurposeProspective monocentric study to determine the feasibility, tolerability and diagnostic value of intravaginal contrast to assess female pelvic anatomy on MRI.Materials and methodsForty-nine consecutive women referred for MRI evaluati…

ObjectiveTo study the sensitivity of MRI performed utilising vaginal and rectal opacification with ultrasound gel in the detection of deep pelvic endometriosis.Material and methodsThis was a prospective monocentric study. All patients evalu…
