Preoperative sonographic staging in patients with suspected parametrial endometriosis is essential to plan surgical intervention and anticipate the need for a multidisciplinary approach, and thus optimize surgical outcome. The results of a recent meta-analysis suggest that there is a need to define more accurately the ultrasonographic criteria for parametrial involvement in endometriosis. This addendum to the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) consensus highlights the sonographic characteristics of the parametrium and identifies ultrasound techniques to diagnose deep endometriosis in this area. © 2023 The Authors.

Introduction: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine ultrasound and single-port laparoscopic images to not only achieve complete ablation of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions but also protect surrounding tissues from damage. The adverse events and complications were Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 1 or Society of Interventional Radiology classification grade A.

Dietary factors have recently been recognized as potentially influential in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM), yet studies on the causal relationship between dietary preferences and EM are limited. The present study aimed to explore the causal relationships between 187 dietary preferences and EM using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. This study utilised genome-wide association study data from over 500,000 European participants for dietary preferences and 64,658 EM patients from Finland.

We can now accurately describe and evaluate lesions in multiple compartments of the pelvis, increasing diagnostic capacity without the need for initial laparoscopy. Recent consensus and publications support the new and growing evidence for this technique.

The diagnosis and treatment of intestinal and urinary tract deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) remain challenging due to its multiple lesions and nonspecific symptoms and signs. This study retrospectively analyzed 72 cases of intestinal and urinary tract DIE, including the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes. Among these cases, 11 presented without clinical symptoms, while 61 exhibited obvious clinical symptoms, primarily dysmenorrhea (58.
