OBJECTIVE: To perform an updated meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for detecting lateral parametrial involvement in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis. METHODS: A literature se…

A standardized methodology for the ultrasound evaluation of the pelvic sidewall has not been proposed to date. Herein, a collaborative group of gynecologists and gynecological oncologists with extensive ultrasound experience presents a syst…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of adenomyosis subtypes defined by ultrasound using the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria, with reproductive and obstetric outcomes following frozen embryo transfer (F…

ObjectiveUltrasound-guided cyst aspiration is a potential treatment for acute adnexal torsion that can be performed in the outpatient setting, offering an alternative to emergency laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this study was to des…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between adenomyosis volume, as a reflection of its severity, and the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at a comprehensive tertiary ca…

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…

OBJECTIVE: Around 80% of women with endometriosis have superficial endometriosis (SE) rather than ovarian or deep endometriosis (DE). However, to date, advances in non-invasive, imaging-based diagnosis have been limited to DE or ovarian dis…

We aimed to evaluate the changes of pelvic endometriosis by transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), over a period of at least 24 months, using #Enzian classification in women who were managed only by medical treatment, without previous surgery. We i…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic test accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) using a standardized technique for the diagnosis of deep endometriosis (DE) of the uterosacral ligaments (USLs) and adjacent torus uterinus (TU). METHODS…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the natural progression of ovarian endometrioma in women who are managed expectantly. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of 83 women with evidence of ovarian endometrioma who were managed expectantly bet…

OBJECTIVE: Two-dimensional (2D) transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is an accessible and cost-effective diagnostic tool for the detection of adenomyosis. Different ultrasound features related to adenomyosis have been described, but the predictive…

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 …

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) on the assessment of ovarian/adnexal lesion(s) of different risk categories using the sonographic ovarian-adnexal imaging-reporting-data system (O-RADS) in women undergoing planne…

The purpose of this State-of-the-Art Review was to provide a strategic analysis, in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis), of the current evidence regarding the management of uterine isthmocele (Cesarean …

To determine the prevalence of direct and indirect features of adenomyosis, as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group, in infertile women. Infertile women aged 25–39 years, scheduled for their first …

To assess the performance of both clinical rectovaginal and transvaginal ultrasound examinations in the diagnosis of parametrial infiltration in patients with endometriosis, using surgery as reference standard. This is a multicentre prospec…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the morphological appearance of deep endometriosis and ovarian endometrioma in pregnancy using pelvic ultrasound examination. METHODS: This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted over 3 years at Univers…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of adenomyosis in women with subfertility. METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar, PsycINFO and Web of Science Core Collection from database incepti…

OBJECTIVES: To assess using transvaginal ultrasound the prevalence of deep and ovarian endometriosis in premenopausal women attending a general gynecology clinic. We also investigated whether the presence of endometriosis was associated wit…

OBJECTIVES: To study the reproductive outcomes of women with a unicornuate uterus and compare them to those of women with no congenital uterine anomaly. METHODS: This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. Cases were women aged a…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes in the ultrasound characteristics of decidualized non-ovarian endometriotic lesions that occur during pregnancy and after delivery. METHODS: This was a prospective observational cohort study carried out a…
