A systematic approach using MRI and the Enzian classification can improve diagnosis and surgical planning for deeply infiltrating endometriosis.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Although endometriosis is a common gynaecological clinical picture in women of reproductive age, diagnosis and therapy often begin late after the onset of symptoms. The explanation probably lies on the one hand in the manifold manifestations, the diffuse complaints and the unfortunately rather low awareness of this pathology. On the other hand, the diagnostic procedure itself represents a challenge. In particular, the deeply infiltrating form of endometriosis is a severe form, which often requires surgical therapy. A systematic approach using MRI imaging and preoperative classification using Enzian classification can facilitate the procedure and simplify therapy planning.
