This review examines magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of postoperative endometriosis, focusing on normal findings, disease recurrence, and complications in women after pelvic endometriosis surgery.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition that affects primarily young women. Imaging plays a pivotal role for the diagnosis and pre-surgical mapping of the disease. By comparison, the role of imaging in the identification of disease recurrence and postoperative complications are not well established. The goal of this review is to report the postoperative findings, including normal postoperative findings, initial disease recurrence and complications, with a special emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in women who have undergone surgery for pelvic endometriosis. This review is based on a literature search of manuscripts published between 2000 and 2018. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews and original scientific articles published in English language were included.
