Why is it important?

Endometriosis is a chronic, nonmalignant, estrogen-dependent disorder that affects 6%–10% of women of reproductive age. It is also the cause of pelvic pain in 50%–60% of the cases and accounts for up to 50% of infertility.

Perspectives

Radical surgery can provide optimal results in terms of improvement in the quality of life of patient and, therefore, should be considered when conservative therapy fails to deliver the expected results.
