Odds of changed surgical approach in deep endometriosis based on preoperative MRI findings.
All endometriosis lesions found on MRI will be checked during laparoscopy in order to determine how the MRI findings might have changed the decision to do a surgical approach by gynaecologists only or multidisciplinary approach by gynaecologists, urologists or/and abdominal surgeons, and this compared to the conventional preoperative imaging approach (double contrast barium enema, intravenous urography and ultrasound.
Time frame: All the imaging findings will be checked during a laparoscopy the latest 80 weeks after the imaging examinations.
