Article Synopsis
- The study compares the #Enzian classification and the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) stages in assessing the extent of endometriosis in women undergoing radical surgery for deep endometriosis.
- Findings show that while the severity of endometriotic lesions and adhesions generally increases with higher rASRM stages, deep endometriosis can also occur in early stages, leading to potential underestimation of disease severity.
- The research involved 735 women and indicates that many with rASRM stage 1 had significant deep endometriosis, highlighting the need for better classification methods.
Abdominal wall (AW) hernias are a common problem faced by general surgeons. With an essentially clinical diagnosis, abdominal hernias have been considered a simple problem to be repaired. However, long-term follow-up of patients has shown disappointing results, both in terms of complications and recurrence.

Objective: To investigate the clinical course and management of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE).
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out from January 2010 to December 2020, at Vita-Nações Hospitals, Curitiba, Brazil, in order to evaluate data of patients undergoing surgery for the excision of AWE.
Results: 83 women with AWE were included in the study.

Background: Whilst some imaging signs of endometriosis are common and widely accepted as 'typical', a range of 'subtle' signs could be present in imaging studies, presenting an opportunity to the radiologist and the surgeon to aid the diagnosis and facilitate preoperative surgical planning.
Objective: To summarise and analyse the current information related to indirect and atypical signs of endometriosis by ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Methods: Through the use of PubMed and Google scholar, we conducted a comprehensive review of available articles related to the diagnosis of indirect signs in transvaginal US and MRI.
Objective: To compare the preoperative detection of endometriosis using transvaginal sonography (TVS) supplemented by transabdominal sonography (TAS) with surgical assessment of disease, using the #Enzian classification for endometriosis.
Methods: This was a prospective multicenter diagnostic accuracy study of women undergoing TVS/TAS and radical surgery for deep endometriosis (DE) at different tertiary referral centers. The localization and grade of severity of the endometriotic lesions and adhesions were described according to the criteria of the #Enzian classification, both at preoperative ultrasound examination and during surgery.
