Stellungnahme der DEGUM zur transvaginalen Sonografie der Ovarien – Ultraschall der Eierstöcke hat wichtigen Stellenwert für gynäkologische Untersuchungen
The DEGUM criticizes the IGeL-Monitor's assessment of transvaginal ovarian ultrasound, asserting its value as a crucial supplement to gynecological exams, particularly for endometriosis.

The paper is a DEGUM position statement responding to an IGeL-Report claim that transvaginal ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries is especially questionable. It argues that transvaginal ovarian sonography has an important role as a complementary expansion of routine gynecologic examinations and criticizes the report’s framing as potentially undermining patients’ confidence. The paper explicitly highlights diagnostic and disease extent assessment of endometriosis as an area where this imaging method is relevant, while also noting the broader context of gynecologic ultrasound quality and standards. Relevance to endometriosis: it states that transvaginal ovarian sonography has important standing for diagnosing and estimating spread of endometriosis, though the article’s main focus is the DEGUM rebuttal of the IGeL-Report regarding ultrasound value.
