The assessment of association between endometrioma size and other endometriosis compartments according to #ENZIAN classification
Smaller endometriomas (O1/2) are associated with more extensive pelvic disease, including higher rates of adenomyosis, rectal involvement, and pelvic adhesions, whereas larger endometriomas (O3) may represent a more localized disease phenotype. These findings support the use of the #ENZIAN classification for more accurate preoperative assessment and individualized surgical planning.
