This chapter from the 2014 Cambridge University Press volume reviews surgical strategies for diagnosing and managing chronic pelvic pain. It outlines various operative techniques used to investigate underlying causes, situating these approaches within a broader clinical framework that includes medical treatments and psychological therapies. The text serves as a comprehensive guide for clinicians dealing with complex pelvic pain syndromes without focusing exclusively on a single pathology. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
