This chapter describes vaginal endosonography as a sonographic method for evaluating internal genital pathology, emphasizing that it can directly depict findings at the site of interest and avoids the need for a filled urinary bladder required for abdominal sonography. It frames the technique as useful for evaluating lower abdominal findings in the context of planning and follow-up of endometriosis therapy. The paper’s explicit limitation is that, in the provided text, detailed results or study design specifics are not shown beyond the general methodological rationale stated in the abstract. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on vaginal endosonography for planning and follow-up in endometriosis therapy.

Abstract

Sonography is an established method for evaluating the internal genitals as well as pathological findings in the lower abdomen. In particular, vaginal sonography offers a decisive advantage, being able to depict directly at the location of interest. In contrast to abdominal sonography, there is no need for a filled urinary bladder [1], a bothersome and time-consuming condition. Preview Unable to display preview. Download preview PDF.
