This chapter, authored by T.J. Williams and published in the 1994 Manual of Pelvic Surgery, serves as a comprehensive overview of endometriosis within the context of pelvic surgical management. It synthesizes historical data and clinical practices from earlier studies conducted between 1960 and 1986 to outline indications for surgical intervention, including conservative management and radical procedures for severe disease. The text highlights specific complications such as bowel obstruction and ureteral involvement, emphasizing preoperative preparation and anatomical considerations like uterosacral ligament involvement. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on surgical management strategies, indications for pelvic operations, and associated anatomical complications.
