This ultrasound demonstration illustrates the use of vaginal probe pressure to identify bowel tethering in deep endometriosis by observing acute angulation of the rectal wall muscularis toward the nodule.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Viewers should focus their eyes on the area closest to the probe, the vagina. With the application of pressure, the operator is attempting to understand whether the bowel is tethered, which it is (demonstrated by the acute angle of the rectal wall muscularis being pulled toward the area of the deep endometriosis nodule).
