Abstract

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in another places of the female body than the uterine cavity. Despite of being a relatively common disease it still remains a diagnostic and therapeutic enigma, mainly thanks to its variable presentations. When endometriosis is localized intraperitoneally, the major problem in young women is involuntary sterility, whereas by extraperitoneal localization they suffer predominantly of bothersome pain.
