Role of transvaginal ultrasound in evaluation of ureteral involvement in deep infiltrating endometriosis

ConclusionsOur study confirms a relatively high incidence of ureteral involvement in patients with DIE. TVS appears to be a reliable tool for the diagnosis of ureteral involvement and, additionally, it allows the detection of both the level and degree of obstruction. Our findings confirm that TVS examination is an accurate non‐invasive diagnostic tool for the detection of ureteral involvement by endometriosis. Copyright © 2017 ISUOG.
