Tailored compartment-based comparison of transvaginal ultrasound and MRI for suspected deep pelvic endometriosis: a prospective concordance study.

To assess the intermodality agreement between transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of deep pelvic endometriosis (DE), using a compartment-based framework that includes both classical …

Polypoidal rectal endometriosis-a diagnostic dilemma.

Polypoidal rectal endometriosis is a rare and diagnostically challenging manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis that may mimic colorectal malignancy, especially in women lacking classical cyclical symptoms. We report such a …

Comment on "The Diagnostic Accuracy of Transvaginal Ultrasound for Detection of Ureteral Involvement in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis".

Severe dysmenorrhea in adolescents need non-invasive ultrasound evaluation to early detect endometriosis/adenomyosis.

To evaluate the prevalence of ovarian endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and adenomyosis in adolescents (12-20 years) with severe dysmenorrhea based on specific ultrasound findings.

Intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound: a novel approach to refine surgical strategy in rectosigmoid endometriosis surgery.

To describe a standardized intraoperative transvaginal ultrasound (IOTVUS) technique for assessing rectosigmoid deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to explore its potential advantages in guiding real-time surgical decision-making.

Correlation of Sonographic and Intraoperative Findings of Deep-Infiltrating Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 5%-10% of reproductive-aged women. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is increasingly used to diagnose deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). This study assesses the sonographic accuracy of …

IVF/ICSI or surgery as first approach for the treatment of infertility associated with ovarian and deep infiltrating endometriosis? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42024588171) compared the effectiveness of surgery followed by IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with direct IVF/ICSI (i.e. without previous surgery) on the reproductive outcomes of infertile …

Analysis of clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative outcomes in deep infiltrating endometriosis: a retrospective study.

To investigate the clinical characteristics of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), summarize the experiences in its diagnosis and management, and identify potential peripheral blood indicators associated with the severity of pelvic …

Implementation of an endometriosis-specific MRI protocol reduces diagnostic laparoscopy rates and alters treatment paradigms in suspected deep infiltrating endometriosis.

To evaluate the impact and diagnostic accuracy of an endometriosis-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol on the management of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).

Obstructive Uropathy Secondary to Pelvic Endometriosis: A Scary Story!

Endometriosis presents as-1. superficial, 2. ovarian endometrioma, and 3. deep infiltrating endometriosis. Obstructive uropathy can rarely result from endometriosis, especially in premenopausal women-incidence being 0.3%-12%.
