Parametrium ultrasound in patients with deep endometriosis
https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0771-268
Abstract
Parametrial endometriosis is a severe form of the disease associated with the involvement of the ureters and pelvic nerves, which leads to sexual, urinary, and intestine dysfunction. Surgery in such cases requires a complex multidisciplinary approach, which can be planned only with a detailed preoperative diagnosis. The article presents a review of current international guidelines for parametrium ultrasound. The capabilities of ultrasound are demonstrated by our own ultrasound images of normal parametrium and in deep endometriosis.
