Abstract

The aim of surgical management is to remove visible areas of endometriosis and restore anatomy by division of adhesions. Yet, treatment frequently must be individualized. However, distinguishing patients who need no treatment from patients who need intermediate or extensive treatment can be difficult. There are three recognized types of endometriosis: peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriomas and deep adenomyotic nodules of the rectovaginal septum Few principles have to be considered regarding the surgical management of endometriosis: Severe disease must be treated differently from mild to moderate disease.
