STUDY QUESTIONWhat is the global consensus on classification of endometriosis that considers views women with endometriosis?
Abstract Advances in preoperative diagnostics as well surgical techniques for the treatment of endometriosis, especially deep call a classification system, that includes all aspects disease such peritoneal ovarian and secondary adhesions. The widely accepted revised American Society Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) has certain limitations because its incomplete description endometriosis. In contrast, Enzian classification, which been implemented last decade, proved to be most suitable tool...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance clinical vaginal examination with that transvaginal sonography (TVS) in presurgical diagnosis deep infiltrating endometriosis. Methods One‐hundred and fifty‐five women symptoms suggestive endometriosis were included. twenty‐nine patients met inclusion criteria prospectively independently assessed by TVS prior a laparoscopy and, where appropriate, radical resection histological confirmation performed....
The aim of the present study was to evaluate accuracy routine clinical examination (per vaginam, PV) combined with transvaginal sonography (TVS) for presurgical, non-invasive diagnosis endometriosis.Two-hundred women symptoms suggestive endometriosis were prospectively assessed by PV and TVS prior laparoscopy radical resection disease histological confirmation.Prevalence on right/left (r/l) ovary, r/l uterosacral ligament (USL), pouch Douglas (POD), vagina, bladder, rectovaginal space (RVS)...
To evaluate whether the presence of uterorectal adhesions demonstrated by transvaginal sonography (TVS) could aid as a simple sonographic predictor for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) rectum in patients with symptoms suggestive endometriosis.This was prospective multicenter study women scheduled laparoscopy because endometriosis. Patients were assessed prospectively using TVS before and radical resection disease followed histological confirmation. Sensitivity, specificity, positive...
How should surgery for endometriosis be performed? This document provides recommendations covering technical aspects of different methods deep in women reproductive age. Endometriosis is highly prevalent and often associated with severe symptoms. Yet compared to equally conditions, it poorly understood a challenge manage. Previously published guidelines have provided (surgical) treatment endometriosis, based on the best available evidence, but without information details how perform such...
Abstract Study question What does this document on the surgical treatment of endometriosis jointly prepared by European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), ESHRE, and World Endometriosis (WES) provide? Summary answer This provides recommendations covering technical aspects different methods surgery endometriomas in women reproductive age. is already known Endometriomas (ovarian endometriotic cysts) are a commonly diagnosed form endometriosis, owing to relative ease accuracy...

Patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the rectum often benefit from surgical treatment, including disc or segmental bowel resection, in terms pain relief and treatment infertility. The aim present study was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy transvaginal sonography (TVS) for preoperative detection rectal DIE. Furthermore, we aimed investigate whether TVS can predict infiltration depth based on distortion characteristic sonomorphologic features wall.Two-hundred patients symptoms...
In this guideline, recommendations and standards for optimum diagnosis treatment of endometriosis are presented. They based on the analysis available scientific evidence as published in prospective randomized retrospective studies well systematic reviews. The guideline working group consisted experts from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic.
To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal (TAS) with surgical assessment disease, #Enzian classification for endometriosis.This was a prospective multicenter diagnostic accuracy study women undergoing TVS/TAS and radical surgery deep (DE) at different tertiary referral centers. The localization grade severity endometriotic lesions adhesions were described according to criteria classification, both ultrasound...
Abstract Purpose To compare the location and sizes of deep endometriosis (DE) lesions evaluated by preoperative transvaginal sonography (TVS) in different #Enzian compartments with intraoperatively assessed DE size. Materials Methods Retrospective data analysis 93 women undergoing TVS surgery for 2019 at a tertiary referral center endometriosis. Results compartment C (rectum) showed highest rate exact concordance 74% cases, which increased to 87% when tolerance margin maximum 3mm...

Deep endometriosis is a disease which may involve all organs of the pelvis. The lesion most often located at backside uterus, involving uterosacral ligaments and/or rectovaginal septum. involvement adjacent organs, e.g. bowel, ureter, and bladder, makes an interdisciplinary approach necessary. There correlation between radicalness resection postoperative improvement complaints. In series 202 patients with deep including bowel we performed segmental anterior anastomosis radical excision...
