Topographie von Endometrioseherden in Abhängigkeit vom Schweregrad der Erkrankung
This study created an "endometriosis map" of the pelvis, detailing 15 locations, to better correlate lesion topography with disease severity and clinical questions than the AFS classification.

The paper developed an “Endometriose-Landkarte” that subdivided the small pelvis into detailed fields to better relate lesion topography to clinical complaints, infertility, medication response, or histological characteristics, since existing severity classifications like the 1985 American Fertility Society (AFS) system were considered too coarse for localization–outcome analyses. Using a hospital cohort of 388 consecutive patients with histologically confirmed endometriosis, the authors systematically examined lesion locations and additionally assigned AFS stages to categorize disease severity; inclusion was based only on histological proof, with no selection by age, prior disease, or surgical indication. A key reported finding was that the study’s own rate of ovarian involvement did not reach the high frequencies reported in the literature, unlike reported values up to 75%. The paper does not discuss limitations in the provided text beyond the acknowledged inadequacy of the AFS localization detail for the intended research questions. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — mapping endometriosis lesion topography in the small pelvis across AFS-defined severity.
