Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and rectal endoscopic sonography (RES) for the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis. METHODS: In retrospective study, 407 patients operated on service of gynecology of Tenon hospital for deep endometriosis with suspected colorectal involvement. All patients underwent MRI and then RES. RESULTS: In the study, 239 patients (59%) had colorectal endometriosis which were diagnosed with the histology. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value (PPV and NPV) of RES and MRI for the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis were respectively 92%, 87%, 91%, 88% and 85%, 88%, 91%, 80%. The accuracy of RES was not significantly different than MRI (90% versus 86%, P=0.09). CONCLUSION: RES is a good exam to diagnose colorectal endometriosis. It is able to improve diagnosis performances.
