Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is the most frequent reason for gynecologic operative laparoscopy in the United States. It is therefore important for the laparoscopist to be thoroughly familiar with the current standards of diagnosis and management of this complex disease. The most common presentations where endometriosis is found are pelvic pain, infertility, and adnexal mass. The ovaries, the posterior leaf of the broad ligament, and the cul-de-sac are the most frequent locations, and the left side is more frequently affected than the right.
