Abstract
Part 1 Cellular pathophysiology: pathogenesis and aetiology - questions, questions, questions morphology, ultrastructure and receptors in untreated and treated endometriotic implants morphology of the implant - two- and three-dimensional evaluation peritoneal environment in endometriosis immune system. Part 2 Clinical features: ovarian endometriosis pelvic pain and endometriosis infertility and endometriosis classification of endometriosis. Part 3 Medical treatments: medical and endocrine modulatory treatments evaluation of treatment with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues. Part 4 Surgical treatments: conservative laparoscopic treatment of ovarian endometriosis techniques for ablation and excision of endometriosis surgical treatment of deeply infiltrating endometriosis role of assisted reproduction in endometriosis.
