Klinische Untersuchung versus Transvaginalsonografie (TVS) zur präoperativen Diagnose (TIE) der tief infiltrierenden Endometriose – eine Multicenterstudie
This study compared clinical examination with transvaginal ultrasound for diagnosing deep infiltrating endometriosis, finding ultrasound superior for ovarian and bowel endometriosis and concluding clinical examination alone is insufficient for adnexal, bladder, and rectosigmoid lesions.

This multicenter study compared the diagnostic accuracy of clinical bimanual examination versus transvaginal sonography for detecting deeply infiltrating endometriosis in 155 patients. Histological verification from laparoscopic resection served as the reference standard, revealing that clinical examination alone had low sensitivity for adnexal, bladder, and rectosigmoid lesions. Transvaginal sonography demonstrated significantly superior performance, particularly for ovarian and bowel endometriosis, confirming it as a more reliable detection method. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically evaluating diagnostic tools for deep infiltrating endometriosis lesions.
