OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of routine intravenous pyelography (IVP), rectoscopy and additional imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT) and abdominal ultrasonography (USG) for the evaluation of @entity1 with @entity1204 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 97 @entity1 with @entity1204 (82 endometrioid and 15 non-endometrioid type) of all stages (Stage I = 65, II = 14, III = 13, IV = 5) were included in the study. Of these, 50 @entity1 were admitted because of @entity548 , 24 with irregular @entity3556 and 7 with @entity158 and leucorrhea, whereas the others had no complaints. Only one @entity1 had symptoms related to the gastrointestinal system, but none for the urinary system. Preoperative CT (n = 45), IVP (n = 78), rectoscopy (n = 46), and USG or colonoscopy (n = 37) were performed on our @entity1 . All the @entity1 had total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with/without pelvic (n = 81) and paraaortic (n = 34) lymphonodectomy, and omentectomy (n = 35). RESULTS: In 39 of 45 @entity1 who had CT, it had no effect on the operation and did not facilitate the operation. In two @entity1 there were pathological findings on CT and some interventions (resection and @entity254 ) were performed on the gastrointestinal tract in these @entity1 . However, CT had overcome pathological findings related with the gastrointestinal or urinary systems in four @entity1 , who needed interventions to these systems during the operation. CT was not performed on six @entity1 who needed interventions to the gastrointestinal system during the operations. Three @entity1 had pathological findings (fissure, external compression) in rectoscopy, but only one @entity1 had ileo-transverstomy, in which rectoscopic finding had not predicted the necessity of that procedure. Out of 78 IVP, the only finding was external compression to the bladder in 38 @entity1 , and this finding had no contribution to the operation. Among @entity1 who had USG or colonoscopy (n = 37) performed, five had pathological findings that contributed to the extensiveness or the mode of the operations (liver nodules, @entity1127 in the colon). CONCLUSIONS: Routine preoperative computed tomography, intravenous pyelography, rectoscopy or abdominal USG and colonoscopy have little impact on the decision and the prediction of the extensiveness of the operation.
