Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We decided to conduct a study based on these multidisciplinary team (MDT) in order to investigate their impact at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg and look for ways to improve this MDT. METHODS: This is a retrospective study of the 682 patients presented to endometriosis MDT from its inception in March 2017 to December 2020. RESULTS: The MDT decision was different from that initially proposed by the patient's referent for 406 patients (60%). Surgery was chosen for 417 patients (61%) and assisted reproduction for 261 patients (38%). A review of the MRI by a referring radiologist was carried out for 348 cases (51%), with a modification of the results for 255 patients (73%). Initial underestimation of lesions was noted in 198 cases. CONCLUSION: Our study has shown the importance of MDT in endometriosis since the therapeutic proposal was modified in 60% of cases. In addition, we supported the importance of radiologists specializing in this field since they made a modification in two-thirds of the MRIs reread. These results show the importance of collegial discussions, which can modify the decisions of medical teams. This underlines the importance of setting up endometriosis networks.
