Deep endometriosis; Anorectal ultrasound; Videolaparoscopy.Abstract
Endometriosis is characterized by glandular and endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. They are most often found in the pelvis, but can also be found in a variety of locations, including the intestine, diaphragm, and pleural cavity. Although not malignant, ectopic endometrial tissue and inflammation can result in clinical manifestations such as constipation, dyspareunia, chronic pain, and infertility. The association of signs and symptoms, with the findings in anorectal ultrasound imaging and the surgical procedure of videolaparoscopy, can presume the presence of endometriotic lesions. The definitive diagnosis of endometriosis is histological after biopsy or surgical resection of the lesion. Therefore, a retrospective and observational study will be developed, with a sample of women with endometriosis, submitted to imaging tests and presence of lesions.
