This text is a chapter titled "Endometriosis" from the 2020 book Practical Guide to Oral Exams in Obstetrics and Gynecology, authored by G. Sel. The content primarily consists of an abstract question regarding the definition of endometriosis, followed by a comprehensive list of suggested readings and references rather than original research findings or clinical data. These references include various UpToDate articles, textbook chapters, and peer-reviewed studies covering pathogenesis, surgical management, medical treatment, and associated risks such as skin cancer and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically serving as an educational resource outlining key definitions and literature for oral examinations in obstetrics and gynecology.
