Clinical Trial Summary

In 2021, an international consensus developed a new endometriosis classification system, called AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification, for scoring intraoperative surgical complexity and to examine its correlation with patient-reported pain and infertility. Until now, no study has investigated the role of AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in ultrasonographic assessment of patient with endometriosis. This study aims to compare the use of the AAGL 2021 Endometriosis Classification in preoperative (at ultrasound) and intraoperative (at surgery) evaluation of patients with endometriosis.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Reproducibility between ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity)		Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Primary	Comparison between total ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging score (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity)		Through study completion, an average of 1 month
Secondary	Comparison between ultrasonographic and surgical AAGL staging subdomains (minimum value: 0 points, maximum value: 111 points, higher scores mean a higher surgical complexity) score		Through study completion, an average of 1 month
