Research Question: What are the diagnostic performances of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans when used to identify mild endometriosis of the uterosacral ligaments (USL)?
Design: Monocentric retrospective study of patients who underwent a pelvic MRI followed by laparoscopy for determination of endometriosis between January 2016 and December 2020. Patients were included whether endometriosis of USL was suspected or not, but patients presenting large lesions that left no doubt as to their endometriotic nature on the MRI were excluded. Six criteria for the description of USL on MRI were studied to determine their diagnostic performances in predicting the presence of endometriosis on laparoscopy as follows: asymmetry, thickening, irregularity, straightness, the presence of a nodule or a hypersignal T1 spot.
Objective: To describe and assess the feasibility of a novel surgical technique (pneumovaginoscopy) for performing vaginal surgery.
Design: Video of a single surgical procedure.
Setting: A university hospital.
Research Question: What is the evolution of adenomyosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after a 3-month treatment course of daily 5 mg doses of ulipristal acetate (UPA) for symptomatic fibroids?
Design: A monocentric prospective pilot study on patients who underwent a 3-month treatment course of UPA for symptomatic fibroids between January 2014 and December 2017. Patients underwent pelvic MRI shortly before (pre-MRI) and after treatment (post-MRI). The diagnosis of adenomyosis on MRI was defined by the observation of intramyometrial cysts and/or haemorrhagic foci within these cystic cavities and/or a thickening of the junctional zone >12 mm.
