520 3 |a Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of routine trans vaginal ultrasound (TVUS) compared to expert-guided transvaginal ultrasound (ETVUS) for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Methods: A retrospective chart review performed at a Canadian tertiary center specializing in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. All cases with surgically confirmed endometriosis and an ETVUS completed at a single center were included for review and compared to routine TVUS performed for the same indication. Results: Forty cases met the inclusion criteria. Mean patient age of the study population at first surgical diagnosis was 31.2±6.9years. Dysmenorrhea (76.9%) and chronic pelvic pain (74.3%) were the most common presenting symptoms. Sensitivity of routine TVUS was 25% (10/40), compared to 78% (31/40) with ETVUS, (P<0.01). Comparisons were made based on site of disease. Routine TVUS and ETVUS detected bladder involvement in (0/40) vs. 5% (2/40); ureter (0/40) vs. 7.5% (3/40); ovary 25% (10/40) vs. 72.5% (29/40); retrocervical area (0/40) vs. 60% (24/40), rectosigmoid 5% (2/40) vs. 77.5% (31/40), respectively. Specific endometriotic lesions recognized by TVUS versus ETVUS, were: ovarian endometriomas in 25% (10/40) vs. 45% (18/40), adhesions leading to abnormal anatomy in 2.5% (1/40) vs. 77.5% (31/40); endometriotic implants or plaques in 2.5% (1/40) vs. 70% (28/40); and endometriotic nodules in 2.5% (1/40) vs. 35% (14/40), respectively. Routine TVUS diagnosis relied on the presence or absence of endometrioma (10/10), whereas ETVUS showed additional sites of disease in 97% (30/31) patients. Conclusions: ETVUS is more sensitive than routine TVUS to diagnose endometriosis, identifying lesions other than endometrioma and is of assistance in surgical planning and patient counseling.
