Abstract

Endometriosis is best regarded as a chronic disease that can vary in symptomatology over time. Endoscopic therapy for relief of pelvic pain as well as infertility is a therapeutic option. The formation of a rational treatment plan before surgery will ensure a minimum number of reproductive surgeries over the patient's lifetime.
