This 2023 paper is a case report describing “kissing ovaries” in the setting of deep endometriosis and presenting a surgical outcome. The study focuses on a single patient rather than a broader cohort, and it does not provide generalizable prevalence estimates or comparative effectiveness data. As a case description, the main limitation is that it cannot establish causal relationships or quantify outcomes beyond the individual reported experience. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically addresses “kissing ovaries” associated with deep endometriosis and the corresponding surgical outcome.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects about 2 to 10% of women of reproductive age (Barbara, Facchin, Buggio, et al., 2017; Hudson et al., 2016). Due to the variety and severity of symptoms, endometriosis has harmful physical, psychological, social, sexual, and professional consequences (Friedl et al., 2015; Hämmerli et al., 2018; Roomaney & Kagee, 2016).
