This prospective study evaluated the diagnostic value of clinical examination (bimanual) and transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), alone and in combination, for preoperative detection of deep infiltrating endometriosis. It included 223 patients with endometriosis-associated symptoms who underwent clinical and TVS assessment and then received partial-to-radical laparoscopic resection with histological verification as the reference standard. The paper reports prevalence estimates by lesion site (e.g., adnexa, uterosacral ligaments, POD/rectovaginal structures, vagina, bladder/rectosigmoid) and states that clinical examination alone was insufficient for detecting lesions in specific locations such as adnexa, bladder, and bowel, while adding TVS significantly improved detection—especially for bowel lesions—and the combined approach provided the most reliable assessment. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on combining clinical exam and TVS for preoperative diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis.
