Endometriosis is a common condition among women where tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue can develop in several areas, including the peritoneum, pouch of …
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) frequently affects the posterior pelvic compartment, where accurate non-invasive imaging is essential for diagnosis and surgical planning. Aim: This systematic review evaluates the diagnostic performance …
Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the pelvic organs, such as the rectovaginal septum, utero-ovarian, and uterosacral ligaments. Bowel involvement occurs in approximately …

To assess the diagnostic accuracy of different ultrasonographic features of USLs affected by endometriosis.
Uterosacral ligaments (USL) are the most common sites of endometriosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis of the USLs using standardised technique and characterisations. While high accuracy …
Background/Objectives: This study investigated patient pain descriptors for transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) diagnostic evaluation of endometriosis for uterosacral ligaments (USLs), including correlation between USL thickness and site-specific tenderness (SST). It further …
