AB018. Surgical outcomes for laparoscopic resection of stage III–IV endometriosis in our unit

Background: Endometriosis is an oestrogen-dependent inflammatory process caused by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It can lead to infertility and chronic pain, which can be severely debilitating. Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) can lead to significant bowel and bladder symptoms. Management is two-fold—hormonal suppression and surgical excision.
