Diagnostic Performances of Tridimensional Rectosonography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Rectosigmoid Endometriosis: A Prospective Cohort Study on 101 Patients

The objectives of this study were to assess the diagnostic performances of 3-D RSG in deep infiltrating rectosigmoid endometriosis using surgery and pathology as the gold standard, and to compare its results with those of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Patients referred for endometriosis with symptoms suggesting deep infiltrating intestinal endometriosis (DIE) were included if they agreed to undergo a 3-D RSG and MRI and if there was a surgical indication related to endometriosis.
