INTRODUCTION: Preoperative assessment of deep endometriotic (DE) nodules is necessary to inform patients about the possible treatments and provide informed consent in case of surgery. This study aims to investigate the diagnostic performanc…
(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…
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…
To assess the risk of rectal endometriosis persistence after laparoscopic shaving of rectovaginal nodules infiltrating the rectum. This prospective study included 68 patients who underwent shaving for rectovaginal nodules infiltrating the r…
Preoperative assessment of deep posterior endometriosis (DE) nodules is necessary to inform patients about the possible treatments and to provide informed consent in case of surgery. This study aims to investigate the accuracy of rectal wat…
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…
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions may be employed during transvaginal rectal water-contrast transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) to diagnose rectosigmoid endometriosis. This study aims to evaluate the influence of bowel preparation (…
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…
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of the study was to compare the performance of the rectal water transvaginal ultrasonography (RWC-TVS) with and without bowel preparation (BP) in diagnosing rectosigmoid endometriosis. The secondary objecti…
OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal sonography (TVS) with vs without bowel preparation (BP) in detecting the presence of rectosigmoid endometriosis. Secondary objectives were to c…
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…
