[Diagnosis accuracy of endoscopy (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, fertiloscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy) in case of endometriosis: CNGOF-HAS Endometriosis Guidelines].
OBJECTIVE: To provide clinical practice guidelines from the French college of obstetrics and gynecology (CNGOF) with the Haute Autorité de santé (HAS), based on the best evidence available, concerning the diagnosis accuracy of endoscopy (laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, fertiloscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy) in case of endometriosis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: English and French review of literature about the diagnosis accuracy of endoscopy in case of endometriosis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy is useful in case of suspected endometriosis in patients with symptoms or infertility when appropriate preoperative assessment is negative (grade C). Biopsies during diagnosis laparoscopy are recommended in case of typical or atypical lesions to confirm endometriosis (grade B). It is not recommended to perform fertiloscopy in case of suspected endometriosis (grade C). Hysteroscopy could be performed in case of suspected endometriosis and infertility to eliminate endometrial polyp or septate uterus (grade C). Colonoscopy is not recommended in case of suspected deep posterior endometriosis (grade C).
