Surgical Management of Endometriosis

Endometriosis is present more commonly in the infertile population compared to general population. All women with endometriosis do not require management and certainly do not require surgery. Surgery should be tailored to patients based on symptoms, desire for future fertility as well as prognosis for response to surgery. A multidisciplinary approach is recommended where indicated.
