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 …
This study evaluates the surgical feasibility, safety and early perioperative outcomes of Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) for benign gynecological conditions in patients with histologically confirmed concomitant endometriosis.
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 …
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 …
This study characterized the peritoneal surface of the posterior cervix and vaginal fornix. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) was performed during laparoscopic surgery to visualize structures beyond the muscular and epithelial layers …
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
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, …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidence …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder. Non-invasive imaging markers that predict disease severity and bowel involvement are clinically valuable. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the diagnostic …
