Evaluation of an imaging technique ic MRI

Primary outcomes

Odds of changed surgical approach in deep endometriosis based on preoperative MRI findings.

Time frame: All the imaging findings will be checked during a laparoscopy the latest 80 weeks after the imaging examinations.

All endometriosis lesions found on MRI will be checked during laparoscopy in order to determine how the MRI findings might have changed the decision to do a surgical approach by gynaecologists only or multidisciplinary approach by gynaecologists, urologists or/and abdominal surgeons, and this compared to the conventional preoperative imaging approach (double contrast barium enema, intravenous urography and ultrasound.
