1857 Deep Endometriosis Transvaginal Ultrasound in the Workup of Patients with Signs and Symptoms of Endometriosis: A Cost Analysis

Deep endometriosis transvaginal ultrasound (DE TVS) is accurate in the detection of ovarian and DE; however, realization of its full potential and utilization remains variable. As such, patients may require a two-step surgical approach (diagnostic followed by therapeutic laparoscopy) or experience incomplete surgical treatment. Besides the clinical implications, the economic impact of a two-step approach to diagnosis and treatment on the healthcare system is likely to be significant. We aim to compare the economic costs of two diagnostic models of care for patients with potential endometriosis.
