Ferrari 48 results in terms of symptom control, although the complexity of the disease or extensive involvement of extragenital organs sometimes requires laparotomy, or carries a high risk of conversion. Data on reoperation for rectovaginal endometriosis and repetitive conservative surgery are scant. 1 Medical Therapy Once the diagnosis of endometriosis has been histologically confirmed, endocrine pharmacotherapy can be used as a neoadjuvant or adjuvant measure, as well as for treatment of recurrences.
In a few patients with large intestinal lesions, colonoscopy may offer the possibility to diagnose an intestinal stenosis or substenosis. The major use of colonoscopy is to histologically distinguish intestinal endometriotic lesions from malignant pathology [29]. 38 2 P. De Nardi, S. 10 Double-contrast Barium Enema Double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) has been applied in the diagnosis of intestinal DIE. DCBE has the great advantage of being easily reproducible and is also less expensive than EUS and MRI [25].
Even with this technique, however, the greatest limitation of TVS is the impossibility of investigating lesions that are proximal to the rectosigmoid junction [41]. 5 “Tenderness-guided” Ultrasonography As an alternative, in 2007 Guerriero et al [42] created a new modality of ultrasonographic evaluation called “tenderness-guided” ultrasonography; using an acoustic window between the transvaginal probe and the surrounding 28 2 P.
