Laparoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating chronic pelvic pain in women when clinical examination is insufficient to identify the pain's source.
One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works
Abstract
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is best defined as non-menstrual pelvic pain for at least six months, which is severe enough to cause functional disability and require medical or surgical treatment. A thorough clinical examination no doubt provides the gynecologist with considerable information but that is not sufficient in arriving at the diagnosis or pinpointing the cause of CPP in all cases. Ancillary aids like imaging studies and direct visualization of the pelvic organs by laparoscopy are often required. In this study we made an effort to find out the role of laparoscopy in the evaluation of CPP and provide treatment in the same setting.
