Endometriose
This chapter discusses endometriosis, citing meta-analyses on CA-125, laparoscopic excision trials, and the use of oral contraceptives to prevent recurrence after surgery.

This text is a 2013 book chapter titled “Endometriose” that compiles information relevant to the diagnosis and management of endometriosis. It largely functions as a literature-based overview, citing prior studies and resources including a CA-125 meta-analysis for detecting endometriosis, a randomized trial of laparoscopic excision, evidence on post-operative oral contraceptive use to reduce ovarian endometrioma recurrence, and guideline-type sources such as the DGGG endometriosis guideline; a limitation is that the excerpt provides only index-like references and does not include the chapter’s full methodological details or results. The paper’s main content is an overview rather than an original investigation with measurable outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it is an overview chapter summarizing diagnostic and management evidence and guidelines, including specific citations about CA-125 and ovarian endometrioma recurrence.
