Nonresponders: NRS changed by less than 3 points. Paradoxical response: NRS ↑ by 3 points or more. “de novo” dyspareunia: NRS prior to surgery = 0 and NRS ↑ by 3 points or more. Phenotype: P peritoneal endometriosis; E endometrioma; D lesions deeper than 5 mm. ENZIAN: Revised classification (2012). rASRM: Revised American Society of Reproductive Medicine staging classification (1996). Adenomyosis on MRI: Adenomyosis was reported by a radiologist who reviewed the Magnetic Resonance Imaging, but was not surgically explored and thus not included in ENZIAN classification.
