OBJECTIVE: To correlate the sonographic severity of adenomyosis, assessed with real-time ultrasound and a novel semi-quantified method (XI-VOCAL counting and categories) with adenomyosis-associated symptoms. METHODS: This observational stu…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of the nine Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA)-defined ultrasonographic features for adenomyosis and develop an ultrasound scoring system to improve diagnostic accuracy. METHODS: …

Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no datasets were generated or analyzed during the current study. Figure S1. Ultrasound images of the pelvis. (A) The uterus is enlarged, measuring approximately 59 × 57 × 60 mm, with heterog…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 5%-10% of reproductive-aged women. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is increasingly used to diagnose deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study assess…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound using the sliding sign for detecting pelvic adhesions and its correlation with operative time in laparoscopic surgery for benign gynecologic conditions. METHODS: A pr…

OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis is challenging to diagnose with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and requires operator expertise to recognize its sonographic features; however, little is known about the learning curve for trainees. This study aimed t…

This network meta-analysis aims to identify the best possible combination therapy for individuals suffering from adenomyosis. To identify pertinent research for the network meta-analysis, a comprehensive search was conducted across multiple…

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether the co-occurrence of endometriosis affects the sonographic features of adenomyosis based on the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria. METHODS: This prospective cohort study utili…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of ovarian endometriotic cysts on the efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in patients with adenomyosis. METHODS: Based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, patients were categorized…

OBJECTIVES: The reported prevalence of adenomyosis ranges widely due to different study populations, diagnostic tests and criteria. Categorizing the severity of disease may prove important. This study aims to develop a semi-quantifiable son…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) with laparoscopy in detecting and characterizing uterosacral ligament (USL) nodules of deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) between patients with and without pouch of Do…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to analyze the effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on different types of adenomyosis (AM) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification. METHODS: A total of 206 AM patients who underwent HIFU b…

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a subperitoneal intrusion of endometrial tissue. Resulting endometrial nodules may develop on the uterosacral ligament, urinary tract, rectovaginal, and retrocervical areas, and less commonly in the …

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate and compare quantitative factors of the cesarean scar defect (CSD) in symptomatic patients with and without uterine adenomyosis. METHOD: This study was conducted as a case-control study. Patients who …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) for the diagnosis of ureteral involvement in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: The meta-analysis included primary studie…

OBJECTIVES: To assess the changes of blood flow in adenomyosis (AM) after higher-dose oxytocin (OT) in different doses, and to evaluate the safety for patients. METHODS: A total of 124 patients with AM were randomly divided into 4 groups wi…

OBJECTIVES: Using transperineal 3D/4D ultrasound, we evaluated the prevalence of the various categories of a 4-point pelvic contraction scale among women affected by ovarian endometriosis (OE), deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and hea…

Endometriosis is a common and painful gynaecological condition that takes an average of 6.4years to diagnose. While laparoscopic surgery is the recommend gold standard in diagnosis of endometriosis, transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is able to …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between uterine diameters and menstrual abdominal pain intensity in patients with and without endometriosis (EM), and the independent influence of EM on the pain intensity. MET…

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in predicting detrusor infiltration and ureteral meatus involvement in patients with bladder endometriosis (BE) to select which cystoscopic procedures could be avoided a…

We aim to first systematically review and perform a meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and, second, to evaluate the accuracy of various sonographic diagnostic crit…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether ovarian fixation at transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) is a marker for a need for laparoscopic pelvic sidewall surgery (ie, ureterolysis or dissection of adhesions involving the pelvic sidewall). The relationship…
