Abstract

Background: Endometriosis is a common disease of reproductive age group women. It was first described by Dr Sampson in 1925 as, “presence of ectopic tissue which possesses the histological structure and function of uterine mucosa”. There is controversy surrounding its pathogenesis and the mechanism by which it causes infertility. Laparoscopic surgery is often used to treat this condition. Controversy exists as to the benefits of such surgery in infertile women.
