Abstract
ABSTRACT Sao Paulo Med J. 2008;126(6):305-8.Dilermando Pereira de ORIGINAL ARTICLE Almeida FilhoLaerte Justino de OliveiraVivian Ferreira do Amaral Accuracy of laparoscopy for assessing patients with endometriosis Center for Health and Biological Sciences, Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Parana (PUCPR), Curitiba, Parana, Brazil CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Diagnoses of endo-metriosis are based on observation of endometri-otic lesions by means of laparoscopy, along with the pathological fi ndings. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specifi city of the macroscopic fi ndings in relation to the histopathological fi ndings. More specifi cally, we aimed to test the effi cacy of laparoscopy alone for diagnosing endometriosis and to evaluate the laterality of endometriosis among the study population. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study on women undergoing laparoscopy due to pelvic pain or infertility, in the Gynecology Department of Hospital Santa Cruz in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, and Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Parana.
