Clinical manifestations include pain, infertility, and decreased quality of life. Surgery is considered for women with symptoms refractory to conservative management and has both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. Endometriosis can lead to a variety of surgical findings including severe adhesive disease as well as disease on the bowel and bladder. Due to the complex nature of endometriosis, advanced surgical skills are required for laparoscopy. The introduction of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in gynecology has created an alternative surgical approach. Robotic-assisted laparoscopy shares the benefits of conventional laparoscopy, with additional advantages afforded by robotic technology. Current data comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopy to conventional laparoscopy for endometriosis is limited, but it suggests outcomes are non-inferior and approach should be chosen by surgeon preference and experience.\nAccess this chapter\nTax calculation will be finalised at checkout\nPurchases are for personal use only\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nFalcone T, Flyckt R.
