Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the initial feasibility, safety, and outcomes of hysterectomy performed by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) at three institutions in Italy. Materials and m…
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To determine whether surgical excision or ablation is the optimum management of peritoneal endometriosis with respect to pain and secondary outcomes on …
The IDEA (International Deep Endometriosis Analysis group) statement is a consensus opinion on terms, definitions and measurements that may be used to describe the sonographic features of the different phenotypes of endometriosis. Currently…
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement in predicting intracavitary uterine pathology at offline analysis of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volumes of the uterus. METHODS: 3D volumes (unenhanced ultras…
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To determine whether surgical excision or ablation is the optimum management of peritoneal endometriosis with respect to pain and secondary outcomes on …
Surgery continues to play an essential role in the management of endometriosis despite the availability of medical therapies. With advances in technology and growth of surgical expertise, laparoscopy has become the standard approach for dia…
Objectives : The aim of this study was to perform saline sonovaginography (SVG) in women with suspected rectovaginal endometriosis (RVE) in order to establish the thickness of the rectovaginal septum (RVS) in this population and to predict …
BACKGROUND: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a complex clinical scenario, which affects 15% of women. The published literature lacks a consistent definition of CPP. However according to Vercillini et al., CPP is defined by the duration and type…
To use sonovaginography (SVG) to predict posterior compartment deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) in women undergoing laparoscopy for chronic pelvic pain. This is a continuing, prospective observational study, which began in June 2009. A…
To use sonovaginography (SVG) to predict pouch of Douglas obliteration in women with chronic pelvic pain, prior to endometriosis surgery. This is a continuing, prospective observational study, which began in June 2009. All women included in…
To establish normative data for the thickness of recto-vaginal septum (RVS) at sonovaginography (SVG). All women with a suspect of endometriosis on the basis of history, clinical examination or ultrasound who underwent laparoscopy were offe…
OBJECTIVE: We describe the use of a new sonographic technique for imaging of the posterior compartment of the pelvis: sonorectovaginography. METHODS: Sonorectovaginography uses instillation of fluids (saline solution and ultrasound gel) in …
To compare three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound markers of ovarian reserve between the operated and the contralateral ovary after laparoscopic stripping of endometriomas. Thirteen patients who underwent laparoscopic excision of monolateral end…
To evaluate the accuracy of 3D transvaginal sonography (3D-TVS) in the diagnosis of deep uterine adenomyosis in symptomatic premenopausal women. Twenty-four consecutive premenopausal patients with abnormal uterine bleeding, inhomogeneous an…
To determine the accuracy of 3D transvaginal sonography (3D-TVS) in the evaluation of the depth of wall infiltration of intestinal deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). Some 32 consecutive fertile women with intestinal DIE were prospective…
Objectives: To report three cases of severely symptomatic deep infiltrating endometriosis managed by transvaginal sonography (TVS) and by a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). Design: CASE 1: A 34 years-old woman was adm…
To report three cases of severely symptomatic deep infiltrating endometriosis managed by transvaginal sonography (TVS) and by a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). A 34 years-old woman was admitted for severe dysmenorrhe…
A 38-year-old woman presented with cyclic worsening dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia and dyschezia during last year. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) showed normal uterus and ovaries for morphology, mobility, site, size and tenderness. On the le…
To evaluate the efficacy of a conservative sonographic based management of deep adenomyosis treated with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS). Sixteen patients observed at a second level sonographic office for abnormal u…
