A terapêutica videolaparoscópica como tratamento na endometriose diafragmática
This literature review describes diaphragmatic endometriosis, a prevalent extra-pelvic manifestation of the disease, and concludes that videolaparoscopic surgery is the optimal treatment due to faster recovery and fewer complications.

This paper is a narrative literature review addressing diaphragmatic endometriosis and the surgical description of minimally invasive (video) laparoscopy for thoracic endometriosis, including related manifestations such as catamenial pneumothorax and pleural effusion/hemothorax. It discusses high-level diagnostic approaches (pelvic/transvaginal ultrasound with bowel preparation and MRI with specialized protocols) and summarizes historical reports of thoracic and catamenial pneumothorax cases. The authors conclude that surgical treatment is the only curative option and argue that minimally invasive access should be preferred over laparotomy due to lower risks, better healing, and faster rehabilitation, while also noting the need for a multidisciplinary approach; however, the main caveat is that the study is based on literature review rather than original clinical data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically diaphragmatic (thoracic) endometriosis and video-laparoscopic surgical treatment.
