Influence of Complex Disease on the Accuracy of Transvaginal Ultrasound Diagnosis of Uterosacral Ligament Endometriosis
Contrary to the assumption that complex disease states hinder TVUS accuracy, their presence may enhance lesion recognition, likely due to increased sonographic attentiveness when severe disease is suspected. While TVUS remains highly specific, its sensitivity decreases in the absence of complex disease, emphasising the need for meticulous and systematic imaging approaches.
