Anatomical Landmarks in Deep Endometriosis Surgery
Surgical treatment of deep endometriosis requires extensive anatomical knowledge to restore normal pelvic relationships and preserve neural structures in distorted surgical fields.

This chapter discusses deep endometriosis (DE) as a progressive infiltrative inflammatory disease that distorts pelvic anatomy and argues that surgical management aims to restore normal pelvic anatomical relationships. Drawing on pelvic surgical anatomy, it describes anatomical landmarks used to reassess a distorted field and to guide steps such as mobilization of pelvic viscera, wide peritoneal resections, and identification of parasympathetic and orthosympathetic pelvic neural fibers in nerve-sparing procedures. The text is primarily educational and does not present new experimental data, with the main limitation being its reliance on established anatomical knowledge and prior literature rather than original outcome results. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on anatomical landmarks and surgical anatomy considerations for deep endometriosis surgery.
