Uterosacral Ligament Endometriosis

Abstract

Endometriosis occurs in 15–30% of patients with endometriosis and may involve, in descending order of frequency, the uterosacral ligaments (USLs), the pouch of Douglas, the rectosigmoid colon, the rectovaginal septum, the vagina, and the bladder [1, 2]. Considerable diagnostic delay of up to 8 years from presenting symptoms often confers a heavy economic and social price [3–5].
