This rise, which exceeded the increase for any other indication, probably reflected not only an increased recognition of endometriosis, but also an increase in the frequency and/or severity of disease.1,2 About 75% of all hysterectomies are accomplished abdominally and 25% vaginally.3,4\nPreview\nUnable to display preview.
