OBJECTIVE: To describe the sonomorphological changes and appearance of deep endometriosis (DE) affecting the nervous tissue of the sacral plexus (SP). METHODS: This was a retrospective study of symptomatic patients who underwent radical re…
OBJECTIVES: To test the accuracy of TVS applying the IDEA approach for suspected rectosigmoid DE and to determine the frequency of other pelvic diseases mimicking DE in patients undergoing surgery. MATERIALS UND METHODS: Prospective single…
To assess whether routine examination of the sacral plexus (SP) on transvaginal sonography (TVS) can identify nerve involvement by deep endometriosis (DE) and should therefore be recommended in all patients with DE. Prospective single, tert…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of identifying and measuring the normal sacral plexus (SP) on gynecological transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) examination. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study conducted at a single tert…
Background: Ultrasound elastography displays information on tissue stiffness. Deep endometriotic nodules are hard fibrotic tissues. Patients are recognized as having deep endometriosis only after several years from the onset of symptoms, th…

In the past decade, the use of transvaginal ultrasound according to the IDEA protocol increased the ultrasound detection rate of rectal deep endometriosis foci. Due to the nature of the disease, such as distorted pelvic anatomy and the vari…
Deep endometriosis is a fibrotic condition in which endometrial stroma and epithelium can be identified. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a modern method of obtaining quantitative tissue elasticity data during ultrasound examinations. Our p…
