This multi-center retrospective cohort study evaluated consecutive patients with deep endometriosis (DE) in university hospitals in Istanbul, Turkey, using pre- and postoperative pain assessments after laparoscopic surgery performed between 2013 and 2019 by a multidisciplinary team. Sixty-five patients diagnosed via bimanual exam and imaging-confirmed endometrioma with DE were analyzed, comparing preoperative symptoms scored on visual analogue scale (VAS) and the British Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy (BSGE) pelvic pain questionnaire to postoperative scores. Postoperative comparisons showed significantly reduced pain across dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, chronic pelvic pain, and BSGE scores (all p < 0.01). The authors note a limitation that more robust conclusions require a prospective cohort study with a larger sample size, including stratification by whether segmental bowel resection was performed. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports postoperative quality-of-life and pain score improvements after laparoscopic management of deep endometriosis.
