Ultrasound-based endometriosis staging system (UBESS): validation study to predict complexity of laparoscopic surgery.

Conclusions: The UBESS can be utilized to predict the level of complexity of laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis based on the RANZCOG/AGES skills levels for laparoscopy. It now needs to be externally validated in multiple centers with various surgical skill level classification systems to assess the general applicability.
