The perfect match - sonography and surgery for endometriosis 2025

Supplement your learning for The perfect match - sonography and surgery for endometriosis 2025.

Join us alongside our partners, ESGE and EEL, for this engaging and informative course. Together with a panel of expert speakers from around the world, they will dive into the latest discourse surrounding sonography and surgery for endometriosis. This course offers attendees a valuable opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of the new advances in this area and learn how to apply them in practical situations.

Learning Objectives:

To understand the role of ultrasound in managing patients with endometriosis
To gain knowledge on terms and definitions in describing endometriosis and adenomyosis findings at ultrasound
To improve knowledge on ultrasound features of endometriosis in the ovaries, urinary tract, bowel, uterosacral ligaments, and vagina
To learn about ultrasound features of the endometriosis in the sacral roots
To gain knowledge on what surgeons need to know before operating on women with ovarian and deep endometriosis in the urinary tract, bowel, uterosacral ligaments, vagina and sacral roots, and adenomyosis

VISUOG

Endometriomas

Endometriosis is a benign estrogen dependent disease that is defined by the presence of endometrial glandular tissue outside of the uterus. It is most often localised in the ovary giving rise to a clear demarcated ovarian cyst, containing altered blood: the endometrioma.

Extrapelvic sites of Endometriosis

Extrapelvic endometriosis most often affects the gastrointestinal tract, umbilicus, inguinal area, cesarean scar, diaphragm and pelvic nerves. The diagnosis is challenging and imaging methods can be used to access suspected lesions, and to evaluate the pelvic cavity since isolated extraperitoneal endometriosis is rare.

Deep Endometriosis introduction

Deep endometriosis (DE) is defined as more than 5mm infiltration of endometriosis below the surface of the peritoneum.
