Abstract
A new FOATIaRVS (Foci–Ovarian endometrioma–Adhesion–Tubal endometriosis–Inflammation–adenomyosis–Recto Vaginal Space) endometriosis classification is proposed to replace the ASRM (American Society Reproductive Medicine) classification. FOATIaRVS is descriptive, complete, precise, simple and easy-to-use. All endometriotic implants are described through the use of a formula. The attribution of coefficients for each endometriotic site is very simple: 0, 1 or 2. A coefficient of 2 is attributed if the lesion is substantial and could cause infertility or pain. The description of the endometriosis covers not only the usual appearance of the implants but also their functional repercussion for tubal and ovarian function. It also includes results of the most recently developed explorations. The formula is clearly of value for providing information on the progression or the regression of each endometriotic site and on the efficacy of the therapy for each location. It has a predictive value and can provide indications for the choice of therapy.
