This retrospective study analyzed data from 1532 women with macroscopically confirmed endometriosis to determine if surgical indications correlate with lesion localization. Researchers categorized patients based on whether they sought surgery for pain, infertility, or both, and examined the distribution of ovarian, peritoneal, and deep infiltrating lesions. The results indicated that surgical indication significantly correlated with the location of peritoneal and deep infiltrating endometriosis, but not ovarian disease. Specifically, patients operated on solely for pain symptoms showed a higher prevalence of deep infiltrating endometriosis, whereas those presenting primarily with infertility had more frequent peritoneal involvement. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically analyzing how symptom-driven surgical indications predict the anatomical distribution of endometriotic lesions.
