STUDY OBJECTIVE: To validate the preoperative ultrasound-based endometriosis staging system (UBESS) for predicting the correct Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) and Australasian Gynaecolo…
Ultrasound has become an invaluable tool for the workup and management of patients with symptoms and signs of endometriosis. Until the publication on the systematic approach to ultrasound in patients with suspected endometriosis by the Inte…
Transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is evolving as an essential tool in the work up for women with pelvic pain and suspected endometriosis. Several studies have demonstrated the accuracy and reliability of TVU for the diagnosis of pelvic deep inf…
For some, endometriosis represents a chronic, waxing and waning disease that can be associated with significant morbidity. Endometriosis embodies a substantial number of gynaecological presentations for symptoms ranging from pelvic pain to …
It is now more than four decades since sonography was first used to evaluate the obstetric patient.1 At its beginning, the questions asked were basic. For example, is there a live pregnancy? Is there a singleton or a twin gestation? Where i…
Urinary tract endometriosis has been reported to affect 1% of women with pelvic endometriosis,1 and approximately 10%of these women will have ureteric endometriosis.2 In a recent study, which included 627 women with histologically confirmed…
In recent years, knowledge has evolved regarding the role of transvaginal sonography in the assessment of the pouch of Douglas status and the preoperative prediction of extraovarian endometriosis in specific locations. Despite these advance…
OBJECTIVES: To determine the correlation between historical variables at presentation with the phenotype and location of biopsy proven endometriosis at laparoscopy. METHODS: Prospective observational study. Consecutive women had laparoscopi…
Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) is recommended as the first line imaging tool for the pre-operative diagnosis of posterior compartment deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), with a sensitivity and specificity for the prediction of bowel …
AIM: To compare the performance of history and examination findings combined with transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) ‘soft marker’ evaluation of ovarian mobility for the prediction of fixed ovaries secondary to endometriosis at laparoscopy. METH…
Abstract Introduction : Endometriosis is a chronic peritoneal disease that may progress as a deep infiltrating lesion involving the posterior compartment of the pelvis. Efforts to improve pre‐operative knowledge of the location and extent o…
Historically, if a woman with chronic pelvic pain does not have an endometrioma or obvious adenomyosis on transvaginal ultrasound assessment, then she is deemed to have a “normal pelvis”. A significant proportion of these women will subsequ…
Office sonovaginography (SVG) challenges the concept of the "normal" pelvic ultrasound in women with chronic pelvic pain and suspected endometriosis. When positive for posterior compartment deep infiltrating endometriosis, with or without P…
Objectives : The aim of this study was to perform saline sonovaginography (SVG) in women with suspected rectovaginal endometriosis (RVE) in order to establish the thickness of the rectovaginal septum (RVS) in this population and to predict …
BACKGROUND: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a complex clinical scenario, which affects 15% of women. The published literature lacks a consistent definition of CPP. However according to Vercillini et al., CPP is defined by the duration and type…
OBJECTIVE: We describe the use of a new sonographic technique for imaging of the posterior compartment of the pelvis: sonorectovaginography. METHODS: Sonorectovaginography uses instillation of fluids (saline solution and ultrasound gel) in …
UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE STUDY: To estimate the value of preoperative bimanual examination of the pelvis in women undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH). DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study. SETTING: Private hospitals an…
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review discusses the current diagnostic and therapeutic role of ultrasound in the management of pelvic pain. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent advances in ultrasound technology and expertise have facilitated the accurate diag…
