What are the novel findings of this work?This work demonstrates the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) for diagnosing deep endometriosis (DE) involving the uterosacral ligaments, torus uterinus or posterior vaginal fornix, as compared with laparoscopic findings, and describes in detail the TVS technique performed. What are the clinical implications of this work?TVS has high accuracy in the evaluation of DE involving the uterosacral ligaments, torus uterinus and posterior vaginal fornix during preoperative assessment of women with suspected endometriosis.
