In 2021, an international consensus developed a new endometriosis classification system, called AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification, for scoring intraoperative surgical complexity and to examine its correlation with patient-reported pain and infertility. Until now, no study has investigated the role of AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in ultrasonographic assessment of patient with endometriosis. This study aims to compare the use of the AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in preoperative (at ultrasound) and intraoperative (at surgery) evaluation of patients with endometriosis.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
500
At baseline, ultrasonographic evaluation of patients by following AAGL Endometriosis Classification
Within 1 month from enrollment, surgical evaluation of patients by following AAGL Endometriosis Classification
Ginecologia - IRCCS Ospedale Sacro Cuore Don Calabria
Negrar, VR, Italy
RECRUITINGReproducibility between ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity)
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Comparison between total ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging score (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity)
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Comparison between ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging subdomains (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity) score
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 month
