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…

Posterior pelvic compartment deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is known to be significantly associated with specific pelvic pain symptoms, and the excision of DIE has been shown to improve quality of life for these women.1 However, the …

OBJECTIVE: To use office gel sonovaginography (SVG) to predict posterior deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in women undergoing laparoscopy. METHODS: This was a multicenter prospective observational study carried out between January 200…

To evaluate the real time dynamic sliding sign in the prediction of POD obliteration in women undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. A multi-centre prospective observational study with 200 women. All women underwent a transvagi…

To determine whether the presence of site-specific tenderness during transvaginal scan (TVS) corresponds with the location of peritoneal endometriosis at laparoscopy in women with normal POD and no deep infiltrating endometriosis. Multi-cen…

To determine whether there is an association between pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at laparoscopy and site specific tenderness during TVS. Multi-center prospective observational study undertaken from January 2009 to February 2013. All…

To correlate an ultrasound based staging system for endometriosis with the level of laparoscopic training required for endoscopic management. Review of 200 patients with complete ultrasound and surgical data. Based on ultrasonographic featu…

To determine whether there is an association between specific symptoms and surgical findings in women with suspected endometriosis. Multi-center prospective observational study undertaken from January 2009 to February 2013. All women includ…

To determine the performance of endometrioma as a tool for triaging women with severe endometriosis to the appropriate surgical expertise. 200 women with complete ultrasound and surgical data undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometrios…

To determine the accuracy of office gel sonovaginography in predicting the depth of infiltration of bowel DIE. A retrospective review of 20 patients who had segmental resections for bowel endometriosis over a 4 year period. Each patient had…

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 …

Objectives: Cerebral white matter injury, consisting primarily of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and periventricular hemorrhagic infarction (PVHI) is well-described in premature infants. However, typical lesions of PVL and PVHI are unco…

To generate and evaluate new mathematical models to predict POD obliteration in women scheduled for laparoscopy with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09–Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) +/− history o…

In a recent study by Hudelist et al, UOG 2013, the authors concluded that the “uterine sliding sign” demonstrated by transvaginal sonography (TVS) was a simple predictor of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum in patients wit…

To determine whether the presence of site-specific tenderness during TVS corresponds with the location of peritoneal endometriosis at surgery for women with suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study undertaken fr…

To evaluate the relationship between the position of uterus on transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) at laparoscopy. Multi-centre prospective study (Jan 09-Feb 13). Women with chronic pelvic…

To determine the association between the presence of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration at transvaginal ulatrsound (TVS) and surgical findings at laparoscopy in women with endometriosis. Multi-centre prospective observational study underta…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the inter-/intra-observer agreement and diagnostic accuracy among gynaecological and non-gynaecological ultrasound specialists in the prediction of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration (secondary to endometriosis) at …

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 of these le…

Several studies have evaluated the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in the prediction of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE)1-6; however, few studies have reported on the ability of TVS to predict pouch of Douglas (POD) obliterat…

To use sonovaginography (SVG) to predict endometriosis location and severity in women planned for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. Ongoing, multi-centre prospective observational study (June 2009–November 2011). All women included were o…

The aim of this study was to evaluate pre-operative real-time dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) in the prediction of pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in women undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis. Multi-centre prospecti…
