Abstract

Surgery continues to play an essential role in the management of endometriosis despite the availability of medical therapies. With advances in technology and growth of surgical expertise, laparoscopy has become the standard approach for diagnosis and for removal of endometriosis. However, surgery to deal with advanced endometriosis is complex, with the potential for significant risks and complications. This chapter discusses the rationale for a surgical triage system and describes the principles of surgical therapies for endometriosis.
