Deep endometriosis (DE) may be associated with chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, psychological distress, and impaired quality of life, though relationships remain poorly characterized. We investigated associations …
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition associated with pelvic pain, subfertility, and reduced quality of life. Advances in enhanced transvaginal ultrasound (eTVUS), including systematic compartment-based scanning protocols and improved operator …
Transvaginal strain elastography (SE) has emerged as a complementary technique to transvaginal ultrasound for deep endometriosis (DE) evaluation by exploiting tissue stiffness between lesions and surrounding structures. However, its clinical …
To study the role of robotic surgery integrated with intraoperative ultrasound in achieving complete excision of colorectal deep endometriosis while avoiding segmental bowel resection.
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is expressed in the fibroinflammatory stroma of endometriosis, but its relationship to conventional imaging visibility is unknown. We evaluated FAP expression in deep endometriosis (DE) and …
To assess changes in bowel function, pain symptoms, and endometriosis-related quality of life over 24 months after laparoscopic colorectal resection with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) and conventional abdominal specimen …
To describe the anatomical distribution and laterality patterns of ovarian endometriosis (OE) and deep endometriosis (DE) using TVS and the #Enzian classification, and to evaluate the association between lesion location …
In 2024, an international consensus statement on non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis of pelvic deep endometriosis was published, recommending transvaginal sonography as the first-line imaging modality because of cost, …
Hepatic endometriosis is a rare extrapelvic manifestation that can mimic hepatic neoplasia and, exceptionally, cause hemoperitoneum. We report a 45-year-old nulligravid woman with longstanding deep endometriosis and anticoagulation for cavoiliac …
