This paper is a systematic review using PRISMA methods to evaluate laparoscopic (videolaparoscopic) treatment of endometriosis over the last five years, identifying 14 eligible studies from 386 articles. Across included studies, videolaparoscopy was reported as effective with potential advantages for treating endometriosis, but also associated with some complications. A key caveat highlighted is that delays in indicating laparoscopy can contribute to late diagnosis and may affect reproductive outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on the effectiveness and advantages (and complications) of videolaparoscopic treatment in the last five years.

Abstract

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of stroma and endometrial glands in extrauterine sites, which can compromise several sites. The definitive diagnosis of endometriosis is through laparotomy or laparoscopy. The objective of the present work is to analyze and evaluate the importance of laparoscopic treatment of endometriosis in the last 5 years. The present study is a systematic review of the literature, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) methodology. Of the 386 articles found, only 14 were included. The articles used show that the use of videolaparoscopy in the treatment of endometriosis is effective and has its advantages, but with some complications. One of the main factors is the delay in indicating laparoscopy, which can lead to late diagnosis and impairment of the reproductive future of these women. Keywords: Advantages, Laparoscopy, videolaparoscopy and endometriosis.
