Tel: þ33-1-58-41-19-14; Fax: þ33-1-58-41-18-70; E-mail: [email protected] background: Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) has important advantages compared with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS): it isless invasive, is cost-effective, is a familiar and well-accepted approach, and anesthesia is not required. We compared the accuracy of TVUSand TRUS for diagnosing rectal wall involvement in patients presenting with histologically proved deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
methods: Prospective study of 134 patients with histologically proved DIE underwent preoperative investigations using both TVUS andTRUS. The radiologist (TVUS) and sonographer (TRUS) were unaware of the clinical findings but knew that DIE was suspected.
results: DIE was confirmed histologically for all the patients. A rectal wall involvement was histologically proved for 75 patients (56%).
For the diagnosis of infiltration of the intestinal wall, TVUS and TRUS, respectively, had a sensitivity of 90.7% and 96.0%, a specificity of 96.5%and 100.0%, a positive predictive value of 97.1% and 100.0% and a negative predictive value of 88.9% and 95.2%.
conclusions: TVUS and TRUS have similar degrees of accuracy for predicting intestinal involvement. TVUS must be the first-lineimaging process to perform for patients presenting with clinically suspected DIE. The question for the coming years is to define if it is necess-ary for TRUS to be carried out systematically in cases of clinically suspected DIE.

They were asked whether there was (18.7%); vagina 23 patients (17.2%); bladder 11 patients (8.2%); intes- tine 66 patients (49.2%); and ureter 9 patients (6.7%) (Table II). Atotal of 75 patients (56.0%) presented with histologically proved intes- tinal involvement (the 66 patients classified as ‘intestine’ and 9 as TVUS was performed with a Toshiba ultrasound machine, using a 5 –9 MHz ‘ureter’) (Table II). The mean number of intestinal DIE lesions per transducer. TVUS was performed without bowel preparation by a single patient was 2.7 + 1.5 (range 1 – 9). For 70 patients (93.3%), the rectal and/or sigmoid DIE lesion.

Among the 41 patients with more than one intestinal DIE lesions (not takingomentum and appendix DIE lesions into account), 21 patients pre- sented, associated with the rectal and/or sigmoid DIE lesions, a ‘right intestinal DIE lesion’ located at the cecum and/or ileum (cecum: n ¼ 4 patients; ileum: n ¼ 13 patients; cecum and ileum: 4 patients). So, for patients with rectal and/or sigmoid DIE lesions (n ¼ 75), the rate of associated ‘right intestinal involvement’ (ileum Preoperative painful symptoms scoresa,b,c and/or cecum) was 28% (n ¼ 21 patients) (Fig. 1).
The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of TVUS and TRUS for the diagnosis of rectal wall involvement are presented in Table IV. TVUS and TRUS yielded a diagnosis of deep rectal endometriosis in 68 (90.7%) and 72 patients (96.0%), respectively. The kappa test of con- cordance was 0.86 for TVUS and 0.96 for TRUS.
This prospective study demonstrates two points: first, TVUS is accu- rate to diagnose intestinal wall involvement for patients with DIE and results are similar than those observed with TRUS; second, in cases of rectal DIE lesions, there are associated cecum and/or ileum DIE lesions in 28% of the cases.

Work-up for rectal wall involvement in deep endometriosis to establish a good basis for deciding on the treatment strategy in Table III Anatomic distribution of intestinal DIE Apart from its excellent diagnostic efficiency, TVUS has important advantages compared with TRUS. It is a less invasive means of inves- tigation than TRUS, is cost-effective, familiar and well accepted by patients in obstetrics and gynecology, and can be used in all cases without anesthesia. Unlike TRUS, TVUS performs well for diagnosis of ovarian endometriomas (Bazot et al., 2007b), which are often associated with DIE lesions and must be considered as a marker for severity of the disease (Chapron et al., 2008). Furthermore, DIE lesions are frequently multifocal (Chapron et al., 2003b). In our experi- ence, intestinal DIE lesions are associated with other DIE locations (USL, vagina, bladder, ureter) in 93% of cases. TVUS gives better results than TRUS for the diagnosis of these associated DIE lesions, notably when there is infiltration of the USL and bladder (Bazot Some patients presented several intestinal DIE lesions.
et al., 2007b). Further work is required to establish whether TVUSshould be systematically combined in the future with water-contrastin the rectal lumen (Valenzano Menada et al., 2008) or saline solutionin the vagina (Dessole et al., 2003) and whether the use of ultrasoundtransmission gel improves the diagnosis accuracy (Guerriero et al.,2007). While, like others (Bazot et al., 2007b), we performed TVUSwithout bowel preparation, further studies will be necessary to findout if mechanical lower bowel cleansing using a rectal enema priorto the examination (Abrao et al., 2007) will improve TVUS accuracy.
Although TVUS is efficient for the diagnosis of rectal involvement, this technique raises two controversial points. First, TVUS is anoperator-dependent procedure. Specific training for the practitionersis essential to understand the DIE TVUS imaging semiology. Sinceour radiologists came to the operating room to find out for themselveswhat the problems facing us are and to understand the anatomy of theposterior pelvic compartment, we have seen better accuracy forthe imaging results. Second, intestinal DIE lesions are multifocal inthe digestive wall in almost one case out of two (Chapron et al., Figure 1 Intestinal endometriosis: the anatomic distribution oflesions in 134 patients with DIE.

Similarly,rectosigmoid lesions are associated with ileo-cecum DIE lesions means an innocuous surgical procedure and presents a real risk of (cecum and/or terminal ileum) in 28% of cases (Fig. 1).
