AAGL Advanced Gynecologic Ultrasound and Imaging SIG Webinar:
Webinar Topic: From SonoAnatomy to Symptoms: Integrating Pelvic Ultrasound with Reproductive and Pelvic Health
Presented by:
Mathew Leonardi, MD, PhD, McMaster University Medical Centre, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Topic Title: Pelvic SonoAnatomy: Basics and Beyond
Caterina Exacoustos, MD, PhD, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Rome, Italy
Topic Title: Ultrasound Diagnosis of Endometriosis: Correlation of Sonographic Findings to Symptoms and Reproductive Problems
Moderated by:

Sophia N. Palmer, MD
Webinar Description: Most MIGS surgeons rely on ultrasound reports rather than the images themselves, yet high quality pelvic surgery increasingly demands a working knowledge of pelvic sonoanatomy. This webinar will provide a practical, surgeon focused overview of gynecologic and adjacent pelvic structures on transvaginal ultrasound, including bowel, bladder, ureters, and other non gynecologic sites relevant to endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. Building on this anatomical foundation, we will then explore how specific sonographic findings correlate with symptoms, function, and reproductive outcomes across common pelvic conditions. Attendees will leave with a stronger mental map of the pelvis on ultrasound and a glimpse of what is coming next in advanced pelvic imaging, including pelvic floor muscles, nerves, and vascularity.
Webinar Course Objective(s):
1. Identify key transvaginal ultrasound landmarks of normal pelvic sonoanatomy, including uterus, ovaries, adnexa, and surrounding pelvic compartments.
2. Recognize adjacent non-gynecologic pelvic structures on ultrasound, such as bowel, bladder, and ureters, that are commonly involved in endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.
3. Outline emerging applications of advanced pelvic imaging, including pelvic floor muscles, nerves, and vascularity, and describe how these may inform future MIGS practice.
4. Correlate specific sonographic findings in common pelvic conditions with patient-reported symptoms, functional impact, and patterns of pelvic pain.
5. Relate pelvic ultrasound findings to reproductive outcomes and counseling, including implications for fertility and surgical decision-making.

AAGL Endometriosis/Reproductive Surgery SIG Webinar:
Webinar Topic: Deep Dive into Diaphragmatic Endometriosis: Evaluation, Planning, and Surgical Strategy
Presented by:
Ricardo M. A. Pereira, MD, Center for Endometriosis and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Santa Joana Hospital and Maternity, São Paulo, Brazil
Topic Title: Diaphragmatic Endometriosis Including the Pericardium: Diagnosis and Surgical Approach
Moderated by:
Ted Lee, MD and Victoria Vargas, MD, MS
Webinar Description: Diaphragmatic endometriosis represents one of the most complex and least standardized manifestations of endometriosis, requiring meticulous preoperative evaluation, thoughtful surgical planning, and advanced laparoscopic expertise. This one-hour, case-based webinar offers an in-depth exploration of the diagnosis and surgical management of diaphragmatic endometriosis, led by internationally recognized endometriosis surgeon Dr. Ricardo Pereira and moderated by Drs. Ted Lee and Victoria Vargas.
Dr. Pereira will provide a comprehensive review of preoperative assessment, including symptomatology, imaging considerations, and multidisciplinary planning. The session will address surgical consent, with particular emphasis on counseling patients regarding intraoperative findings, extent of resection, and potential thoracic involvement. Technical aspects of surgery will be discussed in detail, including port placement strategies, ergonomics of the laparoscopic approach, and methods to optimize surgeon efficiency and safety during prolonged, complex procedures.
The webinar will also cover intraoperative decision-making based on the extent and location of diaphragmatic disease, including superficial versus full-thickness involvement, anterior versus posterior diaphragm considerations, and coordination with thoracic surgery when indicated. Practical pearls and pitfalls will be highlighted to help surgeons refine their approach and improve outcomes in this challenging subset of endometriosis.
Webinar Course Objective(s):
1. Apply a systematic, evidence-informed approach to the preoperative evaluation and surgical planning of diaphragmatic endometriosis
2. Integrate anatomic location and extent of disease into safe, effective laparoscopic surgical strategies for diaphragmatic endometriosis
3. Implement ergonomic and port placement principles to optimize surgical performance and patient outcomes in complex
endometriosis surgery
