Multidisciplinary approach of endometriosis: do’s and dont’s

This educational exhibit describes pelvic endometriosis and aims to correlate clinical/pathologic manifestations with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laparoscopy, while also outlining a multidisciplinary way to work with these findings. Using a classification into superficial peritoneal lesions, ovarian endometrioma, and deep/solid infiltrating endometriosis, it summarizes characteristic laparoscopy appearances and states that MRI can characterize endometriomas, extraovarian implants, and associated inflammation and fibrosis, with very good correlation to laparoscopy. The major limitation is that the document presents interpretive educational content rather than new study data or explicit methodology beyond the imaging–laparoscopy correlation claims. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on how to use MRI in relation to laparoscopy findings within a multidisciplinary approach for pelvic endometriosis.
