Endometriosis: On Uterus, Adnexa, Bowel, Peritoneum, Hematoperitoneum
This chapter details the traditional American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Revised Staging System and the newer American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists' (AAGL) classification for surgically staging endometriosis.

This chapter describes how endometriosis is surgically staged, focusing on the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Revised Staging System, which standardizes descriptions of tissue extent, appearance (including color changes), and suggestive peritoneal defects. It also outlines a newer classification, the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL) Endometriosis Staging Application, intended to incorporate surgical complexity, with details summarized in tables. The key limitation is that the chapter primarily provides classification framework descriptions rather than presenting new patient data or comparative outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews surgical staging systems for endometriosis across uterine, adnexal, bowel, peritoneal, and hematoperitoneal involvement.
