Endorectal sonography accurately diagnosed rectal wall involvement in endometriosis patients, guiding surgical decisions toward laparotomy and resection or laparoscopic treatment.

This study evaluated endorectal sonography in 36 women referred for further diagnostic workup under suspicion of rectal involvement in endometriosis. All participants underwent endorectal ultrasonography; 13 had findings suggesting rectal wall infiltration, two had lesions immediately adjacent to the rectum without infiltration, and 21 had rectal involvement excluded and were managed laparoscopically, while those with suspected involvement underwent laparotomy with anterior rectal resection or rectal cuff resection. Intraoperative findings confirmed the preoperative endosonographic diagnosis in all 36 cases, with endometriosis foci verified histologically, and the paper notes the role of endosonography in guiding operative management. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the diagnostic value of endorectal sonography for suspected rectal (endometriosis recti) involvement.
