Abstract

In this chapter, the broad role of endometriosis surgery for the care of the infertile patient is discussed. The need for continued development and assessment of quality endometriosis surgery remains an important consideration for the management of endometriosis-related infertility. A special need is proper postgraduate training of gynecologists so that high-quality endometriosis surgery can continue to be undertaken. This includes the most appropriate mentoring or preceptorship of the trainee postgraduate surgeon. It also includes the most appropriate setting for efficient assessment and audit of individual and team-related surgery and postoperative support for endometriosis patients. It is accepted that different countries and continents have different programs for developing high-quality endometriosis surgeons. It is the intention of this chapter to review the characteristics of such successful programs and to indicate how these programs can continue to evolve and improve. © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
