Within 12\u2009months after surgery, a TVUS examination was conducted in all patients to evaluate the presence of postsurgical endometriosis locations and symptoms, including dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, dyschezia, and chronic pelvic pain. Pelvic pain was assessed in all women by a visual analog scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At the follow\u2010up 32 of 50 patients were receiving medical treatment, whereas 18 women declined postsurgical medical therapy and tried to conceive. A high percentage of adhesions (90%) was found. A negative sliding sign (a simple diagnostic sign that can be performed during a TVUS examination, consisting of gentle pressure applied by both the vaginal transducer and the examiner's hand on the abdomen; if the uterus does not glide freely along with the rectum and posterior fornix, the sign is considered negative, and adhesions can be suspected) was found in 29 (58%) women and was associated with bowel symptoms. Recurrence of posterior DIE was found in 9 cases (18%) and endometriomas in 8 cases (16%). Adenomyosis was observed in 80% of women and was present in all symptomatic patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>After rectosigmoid segmental resection patients with DIE may continue to be symptomatic, and postoperative TVUS may reveal foci of disease or pelvic adhesions. Moreover, adenomyosis could be linked to symptoms experienced during follow up. Women should be aware that painful symptoms and alterations of pelvic organs could still be present after surgery and be detectable by TVUS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jum.15505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,16]],"date-time":"2020-09-16T21:37:30Z","timestamp":1600292250000},"page":"1219-1228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Transvaginal
