Abstract: Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography for recto-vaginal endometriosis (RVEM).Methods The clinical data of 36 patients who met the criteria for RVEM between September 2009 and September 2016 in Shengjing Hospital were analyzed.Rectal endoscopic ultrasonography was compared with colonoscopy and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of preoperative diagnosis and their conformance with surgical and postoperative pathological findings.Results Rectal endoscopic ultrasonography was superior to colonoscopy and pelvic MRI in diagnosing RVEM,invasive bowel disease,and the invasive level in the preoperative assessment (P ＜ 0.05),and in its conformance with surgical and postoperative pathological findings.Conclusion Rectal endoscopic ulwasonography is a reliable technique for diagnosing RVEM,with good accuracy in the preoperative diagnosis of invasive bowel disease and its level of invasiveness.
