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…

PURPOSE: The progression of deep endometriosis (DE) in women of reproductive age is highly variable. This study aimed to analyze the sonomorphological changes of rectal endometriosis over long periods of time and the influence of hormonal t…

We present a new systematic, comprehensive, checklist-based sonographic assessment of endometriosis in the female true pelvis. Emphasis is placed on practical skills teaching. The newly introduced White Sliding Line (WSL) is the core struct…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate elastography features of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to define whether this technique may discriminate lesions from surrounding non-endometriotic tissue. METHODS: This was an explorat…

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…

Endometriosis is a benign disease with a wide variety of manifestations and symptoms, which primarily affects women of childbearing age and in some cases has a fundamental and permanent impact on their quality of life. Although the genesis …

Ultrasound has become an essential diagnostic tool in gynecology, and every practicing gynecologist must be able to differentiate normal from pathologic findings, such as benign or malignant pelvic masses, adnexal torsion, pelvic inflammati…

PURPOSE: To compare the location and sizes of deep endometriosis (DE) lesions evaluated by preoperative transvaginal sonography (TVS) in different #Enzian compartments with intraoperatively assessed DE location and size. MATERIALS AND METHO…

A 52-year old female patient was referred to our tertiary center due to left sided abdominal pain radiating to the left flank 3 months after abdominal surgery of extended deep endometriosis (rASRM Stage IV) with right adnexectomy, left salp…

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the relationship between gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) findings suggestive of endometriosis. Materials and Methods A prospective design. Women referred for a diagnostic ultras…

PURPOSE: To assess the role of elastography in preoperative ultrasound assessment of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) location. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 33 patients qualified for surgical excision of AWE were included in the study. Preopera…

PURPOSE: To evaluate normal uterine tissue with special regard to age and the presence of uterine fibroids and adenomyosis with transvaginal elastography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective study elastographic data of the uterus were o…

Ultrasound is not only used for diagnostic purposes but it also can be applied therapeutically so far that nowadays high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) even represents a novel non-invasive treatment modality for various solid tumors. H…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the presence of a lesion indicative of endometriosis with transvaginal elastography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Transvaginal ultrasound and clinical examination were carried out in 48 women with clinical symptoms indicative…

In 15,645 consecutive ultrasound examinations of the abdomen (1986 to 1988), free fluid in the peritoneal cavity was found in 247 patients by internal trial during 397 sessions (= 2.5%). Most frequent basic diagnosis for the reason of this …

PURPOSE: In daily clinical practice, it is challenging to accurately diagnose suspected neoplasias in the small pelvis by minimal invasive means, and CT-guided biopsy is often limited in its feasibility. The aim of our study was to evaluate…

Arterial bleeding, initially negative on MRI, ultrasonography and radiographic angiography, complicated the course of pregnancy with severe and recurrent vaginal and pelvic haemorrhage in the second trimester. Bleeding from the left uterine…

The authors present a case of an interstitial extrauterine pregnancy in the intramural portion of the left oviduct after preceding ipsilateral adnectomy. Sonographic diagnosis was confirmed by the site at operation.
