About

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.
