Abstract

Conscious laparoscopic pain mapping, a technique that has been described in the literature for more than a decade, can be a particularly helpful tool to assist with pelvic pain diagnosis and treatment decisions. Several factors, when optimized, increase the likelihood of a good outcome. Herein, we review the literature and address common questions about pain mapping including appropriate patient selection, standard technique, typical outcomes, and how the results might influence treatment.
