Mapping deep endometriosis in patients with ovarian endometriomas according to the #Enzian classification: a single-center retrospective analysis
Deep Endometriosis coexists with unilateral or bilateral ovarian endometriomas in the great majority of patients. Bilateral endometriomas are associated with higher frequencies of deep endometriosis in the left #Enzian B compartment and rectovaginal septum (#Enzian A). In order to avoid incomplete surgeries and complications, patients with endometriomas should be carefully screened for deep endometriosis of the pelvis using transvaginal ultrasound or MR imaging.
