This 2014 Springer chapter describes endometriosis as extra-uterine growth of endometrial glands and stroma and summarizes its common symptoms, prevalence estimates in the general reproductive-age population (~10%) and among patients with infertility (up to ~50%), and the caveat that true incidence may be underestimated due to underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. It provides an overview of endometriosis as part of a broader discussion of video-assisted and robotic-assisted gynecologic endoscopy, citing prior work comparing robotic vs standard laparoscopy and reporting experience with robotic-assisted management of complex endometriosis involving bowel, bladder, and ureter. The chapter also notes that much of the content reflects literature rather than new original study results, with limited explicit methodological detail within the excerpt. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on robotic-assisted management and surgical approaches in endometriosis.
