Design outcomes
Primary

|---|---|
| The study aim is to analyze whether a conspicuous sonographic finding corresponds to histologically confirmed adenomyosis. This will be evaluated using laparoscopic intra-abdominal sonography-guided and laser-assisted biopsy of the uterus. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Evaluation/validation of preoperative clinical and imaging (transvaginal sonographic) diagnosis of adenomyosis uteri with histology. 2. Evaluation/validation of intraoperative clinical and imaging (intra-abdominal sonographic) diagnosis of adenomyosis uteri with histology. 3. Retrospective assessment of the reliability of preoperative and intraoperative diagnosis of adenomyosis uteri in patients undergoing hysterectomy. | — |
