Highlights |
• | The present terminology for some forms of endometriosis is incorrect or confusing. |
• | The present terminology gives too little emphasis on the adhesive and fibrotic aspects of advanced endometriotic nodules. |
• | Endometriosis infiltrating the outer myometrium of the anterior or posterior uterine wall should simply be defined as “uterine endometriosis”. |
• | What is called rectovaginal septum endometriosis is the manifestation of endometriosis infiltration and fibrosis affecting a variable portion of the pouch of Douglas. |
Keywords : Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, Fibrosis, Deep endometriosis
