TVS findings were compared with those obtained by laparoscopy and confirmed histologically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2002Of the 671 included patients, 128 women opted for medical therapy, and 6 patients decided for surgery but did not give consent to participate in the study. 537 women were enrolled in the final analysis. 279 (52\u200a%) exhibited surgically confirmed rectosigmoid DE. The sensitivity and specificity, positive and negative predictive value (PPV, NPV), positive and negative likelihood ratio (LR+\/\u2013) and accuracy of TVS for diagnosing DE in the rectosigmoid were 93.5\u200a%, 94.6\u200a%, 94.9\u200a%, 93.1\u200a%, 17.24, 0.07, 94.04\u200a%. 12 women who were clinically suspected for DE and mimicked sonographic signs fulfilling the IDEA criteria did exhibit other pathologies. Diagnoses were as follows: vaginal Gartner duct cyst (3\/291;1.0\u200a%), anorectal abscess (3\/291; 1.0\u200a%), rectal cancer (2\/291;0.7\u200a%), hydrosalpinx (2\/291;0.7\u200a%), metastatic endometrial cancer (1\/291;0.35\u200a%) and Crohn\u2019s disease (1\/291;0.35\u200a%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion\u2002TVS for diagnosing colorectal DE applying the IDEA criteria is highly accurate for presurgical diagnosis. However, additional pelvic pathologies are encountered in 4\u20135\u200a% of women attending for suspected rectosigmoid DE. These need to be taken into account when investigating patients for suspected
