Precision Surgery for Colorectal Deep Endometriosis: Strategies for Complete Excision Without Segmental Resection.
To study the role of robotic surgery integrated with intraoperative ultrasound in achieving complete excision of colorectal deep endometriosis while avoiding segmental bowel resection.
Ultrasound Sliding Sign Assessed by Transvaginal or Transrectal Route for Predicting Complete Pouch of Douglas Obliteration in Patients with Ovarian Endometriomas: An Exploratory Retrospective Study.
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 …
Letter to the Editor: "Conventional laparoscopic segmental bowel resection with mini-laparotomy specimen extraction compared with Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction (NOSE) procedures in patients with colorectal endometriosis".
Functional outcomes after laparoscopic colorectal resection with natural orifice specimen extraction and conventional specimen extraction for deep endometriosis: a 24-month prospective cohort study.
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 …
Transperineal Ultrasound in Chronic Pelvic Pain: A Systematic Review.
This systematic review aimed to explore the application and effectiveness of transperineal ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for evaluating pelvic floor musculature (PFM) dysfunction in patients with chronic pelvic pain …
Patient- and disease-related characteristics to anticipate segmental resection for isolated rectal endometriosis: a multicenter prospective study.
To identify predictors for segmental resection in patients with an isolated rectal endometriotic nodule (i.e. involvement of at least the muscular layer in depth and up to 15cm to the …
Development and Preliminary Evaluation of the Pelvic Dysfunction Composite Score (PDCS): A Pilot Study in Women with Endometriosis.
Pelvic floor dysfunctions are common in women with endometriosis. Currently available assessment tools are limited to isolated domains that do not allow for a comprehensive multidimensional evaluation. This study aimed …
Regarding "Complementary Roles of Rectal Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Endoscopic Ultrasound in the Preoperative Assessment of Rectal Deep Endometriosis: A Retrospective Cohort".
Cecoappendiceal Endometriosis Presenting as a Cecal Traction Diverticulum: A Case Report.
Cecoappendiceal endometriosis is rare and frequently mimics colorectal neoplasia, making preoperative diagnosis challenging. We report the first documented case of a cecal traction true diverticulum caused directly by endometriosis-associated smooth …
Robotic high intensity focused ultrasound treatment of rectal endometriosis.
Rectal endometriosis is among the most symptomatic forms of the disease. When hormonal therapy fails, surgery is often required. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is widely used in gynecology for the …
