Frequência de endometriose pélvica em pacientes submetidas à videolaparoscopia por dor pélvica crônica
This study analyzed 120 patients undergoing laparoscopy for chronic pelvic pain, finding endometriosis in 38% and demonstrating that ultrasound sensitivity for detecting minimal or mild endometriosis is low.

The study evaluated the frequency of pelvic endometriosis among 120 patients with chronic pelvic pain undergoing videolaparoscopy for diagnosis, with ultrasound findings compared against videolaparoscopic findings and histopathology. Endometriosis was identified in 38% of patients, with distributions of minimal (52%), mild (24%), moderate (15%), and severe (9%) disease, while other findings included normal pelvis (12%), adhesions (25%), and varices (18%). The authors reported low ultrasound sensitivity for detecting mild disease (14.7%), which increased with severity (72.7%), and they concluded that a normal ultrasound does not exclude endometriosis, particularly in minimal and mild cases. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it quantifies pelvic endometriosis frequency in patients with chronic pelvic pain undergoing videolaparoscopy and assesses diagnostic performance of ultrasound.
