          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Este estudo visa demonstrar a importância da ultra-sonografia anorretal tridimensional (US 3D) no diagnóstico da endometriose profunda e o grau de acometimento do trato intestinal na decisão terapêutica da endometriose do septo retovaginal. MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo realizado entre março de 2007 e julho de 2009. Sessenta e cinco mulheres com endometriose pélvica e com queixas gastrointestinais foram avaliadas e submetidas a US 3D. Vinte pacientes, média de idade 33,7anos, com suspeita de foco endometriótico intestinal foram submetidas ao procedimento laparoscópico para a realização de inventário da cavidade abdominal e tratamento cirúrgico. RESULTADOS: Em dezenove mulheres (95%), os achados laparoscópicos confirmaram a presença do foco endometriótico retal. O procedimento realizado à laparoscopia foi: exérese de foco peritoneais (n= 1); ressecção parcial do retossigmóide (n= 9); exérese de nódulo de reto (n= 10). O tempo operatório médio por procedimento foi de 120 minutos. O tempo médio de alta foi 1,7 dias. Duas pacientes apresentaram como complicação o aparecimento de fistula retovaginal. CONCLUSÃO: Conclui-se que a ultra-sonografia anorretal tridimensional é exame específico na avaliação do segmento anorretal, decisivo na detecção de focos endometrióticos do septo retovaginal e avalia eventuais doenças associadas nesse segmento, determinando a estratégica terapêutico-cirúrgica adequada.

          OBJECTIVE: This study aims to demonstrate the importance of three-dimensional anorectal ultrasonography (US 3D) in the diagnosis of deep endometriosis and level of intestinal involvement in the decision of the therapy of endometriosis of rectovaginal septum. METHODS: A prospective study between March 2007 and July 2009. Sixty-five women with pelvic endometriosis and gastrointestinal complaints were evaluated and submitted to 3D U.S.. Twenty patients, mean age 33.7 years, with suspected of intestinal endometriosis were submitted to laparoscopic procedure and surgical treatment. RESULTS: In nineteen women (95%), the laparoscopic findings confirmed endometriosis in the rectum. The procedure was performed to laparoscopy: the focus peritoneal excision (n = 1), partial resection of rectosigmoid (n = 9), excision of a nodule of rectum (n = 10). The average operative time per procedure was 120 minutes. The average time to stay in hospital was 1.7 days. Two patients had the appearance as complication of rectovaginal fistula. CONCLUSION: We conclude that three-dimensional anorectal ultrasonography is specific in the assessment of anorectal segment, crucial for detecting endometriosis focus of the rectovaginal septum and evaluates possible associated diseases in this segment, determining the appropriate therapeutic strategy and surgical.

          Transvaginal ultrasound for diagnosis of deeply infiltrating endometriosis.

          Deeply infiltrating endometriosis is the clinical form of the disease that is generally associated with conditions of more intense pain and may require more complex surgical management, consequently resulting in greater risks to the patient. In recent years, various investigators have confirmed the usefulness of methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), transrectal ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for the diagnosis of deep endometriotic lesions. The objectives of the present study are to describe the method used to perform TVUS for the detection of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, and to discuss the clinical benefits that the data obtained may offer clinicians providing care for patients suspected of having this type of endometriosis.
