Learning Curve of the Transvaginal Ultrasound Exam for Adenomyosis: A CUSUM Analysis.

Adenomyosis is challenging to diagnose with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and requires operator expertise to recognize its sonographic features; however, little is known about the learning curve for trainees. This study …

Transvaginal ultrasound for detecting parametrial involvement in suspected deep pelvic endometriosis: updated meta-analysis.

To perform an updated meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for detecting lateral parametrial involvement in women with suspected deep pelvic endometriosis.

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 …

Incidental Primary Ovarian Squamous Cell Carcinoma Arising in Endometriosis Presenting As Adenomyosis-Related Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

Adenomyosis often coexists with endometriosis, which primarily involves the ovary and can lead to endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancers, most commonly endometrioid and clear‑cell carcinomas. Ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) arising in …

Natural Pregnancy Following Oocyte Retrieval in a Luteal-Phase Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS) Protocol With Concurrent Blastocyst Cryopreservation: A Case Report.

Ovarian stimulation is used in assisted reproductive technology to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy. Luteal-phase stimulation with progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) is a practical approach, as it involves oral medication …

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

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 …

Endometrioma: Contemporary Approach to Diagnosis and Management.

Endometriomas affect up to 44% of women with endometriosis and are associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced ovarian reserve. Diagnosis and management are clinically challenging, requiring a nuanced …

Optimizing endometriosis diagnosis and mapping: The important role of advanced transvaginal ultrasound.

Endometriosis is estimated to affect 5%-10% of women of reproductive age, making timely diagnosis essential for initiating treatment, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of disease progression. Unfortunately, the diagnostic …
