Concordance between Preoperative #ENZIANi Score and Postoperative #ENZIANs Score Classification-Why Do We Choose #ENZIAN and How Does It Impact the Future Classification Trend?

To assess the concordance of the preoperative application of the #ENZIAN classification (#ENZIANi) with the postoperative result (#ENZIANs) using surgical findings as the reference standard. This retrospective study included 282 consecutive patients with deep endometriosis undergoing surgical treatment. Preoperative assessment with transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging was compared with postoperative assessment. Concordance and diagnostic test evaluation were calculated. The highest concordance was observed in the F (abdominal wall endometriosis) with k Cohen of 0.837, following the values for pelvic locations, with 0.795 for T left, 0.791 for T right, 0.776 for F (adenomyosis), 0.766 for C (rectum), and 0.75 and 0.72 for O right k and O left, respectively. The highest sensitivity was demonstrated for the P compartment *(98%), T compartment (both sides 97%), and A, B, C (94-96%), corresponding with deep endometriosis. Preoperative assessment using TVS/TAS + MRI with the ENZIANi score correlates well with the ENZIANs postoperative score and demonstrates good concordance in the detection and localization of deep endometriosis, thereby minimizing false negative results and ensuring accurate preoperative staging. The ENZIAN classification is well-suited to surgeon needs and benefits from continuous development. Future improvements, such as adding the expanded C module, may be considered in the next edition.
