(1) Objectives: In patients with symptoms suggestive of rectosigmoid endometriosis, imaging techniques are required to confirm the presence and establish the extent of the disease. The objective of the current study was to compare the perfo…
Research questionSeveral studies have investigated reproductive outcomes following surgical treatment of colorectal endometriosis, mainly segmental colorectal resection. This study examines pregnancy and live birth rates of women with recto…
Intestinal endometriosis occurs in 4% to 37% of women with deep endometriosis (DE). Noninvasive diagnosis of presence and characteristics of rectosigmoid endometriosis permits the best counseling of patients and ensures best therapeutic pla…
OBJECTIVES: Rectosigmoid involvement by endometriosis causes intestinal symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and dyschezia. A precise diagnosis about the presence, location, and extent of bowel implants is required to plan the most appr…
Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have similar performance in diagnosing deep endometriosis (DE). The diagnosis of DE recurrence may be more challenging because of the presence of postoperative fibrosis…
Double-contrast barium enema (DCBE), transrectal endoscopic ultrasonography (REU), multidetector computerized tomography enema (MDCT-e), and computed tomography colonoscopy (CTC) have been successfully used for the diagnosis of bowel endome…
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of 3D rendering during rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) for estimating the bowel lumen stenosis caused by rectosigmoid endometriosis in comparison to co…
This study aims to compare the performance of bidimensional rectal-water contrast-transvaginal ultrasonography (2D-RWC-TVS) with 3D-RWC-TVS for investigating the presence and characteristics of rectosigmoid endometriosis. This prospective s…
Adenomyosis is a gynecologic disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue within the uterine myometrium. It can involve most of the myometrium (diffuse adenomyosis), it may be present only in a circumscribed part of …
BACKGROUND: The ureter is the second most common site affected by urinary tract endometriosis, after the bladder. Optimal strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral endometriosis (UE) are not yet well defined. OBJECTIVE AND RATIO…
ObjectiveTo study the efficacy of long-term treatment with norethindrone acetate (NETA) in patients with rectovaginal endometriosis.Study designThis retrospective cohort study included 103 women with pain symptoms caused by rectovaginal end…
To compare the precision of different imaging techniques in estimating the degree of stenosis of the bowel lumen in patients with colorectal endometriosis. This prospective study included 43 patients with rectosigmoid endometriosis who unde…
To assess the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) combined with computed tomographic colonography (CTC) in the diagnosis of bowel endometriosis. This prospective study included patients of reproductive age with clinical suspicion…
ObjectiveTo investigate spontaneous pregnancy rate (SPRs) of women with rectovaginal endometriosis (RV) with/without ovarian endometrioma (OMA) and treated with the use of expectant or surgical management.DesignRetrospective study.SettingUn…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the performance of computed tomographic colonography (CTC) and rectal water-contrast transvaginal sonography (RWC-TVS) in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis, and compare precision in estimating the length of …
OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance enema (MR-e) and rectal water-contrast transvaginal sonography (RWC-TVS) in the diagnosis of rectosigmoid endometriosis. METHODS: This prospective study included 286 patients of repro…
