To identify the sonomorphological appearance and to measure the thickness of the piriformis muscle (PM) and the proximal portion of the sacral nerve roots S1-S3 in healthy premenopausal women.This prospective multicentric observational stud…
INTRODUCTION: Surgical resection of sacral plexus endometriosis (SPE) is contemplated in severely symptomatic patients not responding to medical or hormonal therapy. However, there is only limited data on the effects of surgery on pain and …
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…
Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a …
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…
INTRODUCTION: Deep infiltrating endometriosis penetrates the peritoneal surface beneath 5 mm. The bowel is affected in 3-37% of the cases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the authors was to analyze the results of the surgical procedures performed for…
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…
STUDY QUESTION: How is endometriosis extent described by the #Enzian classification compared to the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) stages in women undergoing radical surgery for deep endometriosis (DE)? SUMMARY …
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) with surgical assessment of disease, using the #Enzian classification for endometr…
Dear Editor, [...]
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…
To perform an investigation the use of strain elastography in order to determine the effectiveness of this method for the evaluation of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) nodules in the posterior compartment. We used the IDEA (Internatio…
