摘要：Background: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease that affects pelvic structures and causes adhesions. Endometriosis outside the pelvis exists but is rarer. Deep endometriosis may affect organs such as the urinary bladder, ureters, bowel and sacral roots. Adenomyosis (growth of endometrium in the myometrium, sometimes explained by disruption of the uterine junctional zone) frequently co-exists with deep endometriosis. Over the past decades, multiple attempts have been made to describe the anatomical extent of endometriosis. Out of approximately 20 classification systems suggested and published so far, three have gained widespread acceptance. These are the rASRM (American Society of Reproductive Medicine) classification, the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) and the Enzian classification. Ideally, a classification system should be useful both for describing disease extent based on surgical findings and results of imaging methods (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging).
