Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial like stroma and glands outside the uterine cavity. Laparoscopy has been recognized as the gold standard for endometriosis diagnosis and has been used for the surgical treatment of endometriosis. Diagnosis of endometriosis is currently made following laparoscopic inspection of the pelvis, preferably with histological biopsy confirmation.
