We believe the uterosacral ligaments ( USL s) are an essential key to resolving the dilemma of diagnosing endometriosis non‐invasively. This editorial will utilise laparoscopic and ultrasonographic figures and videos, along with written descriptive techniques, to educate clinicians, sonographers, sonologists and radiologists on normal and abnormal USL s to improve knowledge and skill in scanning patients with possible endometriosis.
