Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In this study we correlate the laparoscopic findings of endometriosis with the histological confirmation of the disease over a period of two years.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and sixty-four laparoscopies performed at the Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, University of Kiel, over a two-year period were reviewed for laparoscopic findings and histological confirmation of endometriosis.
RESULTS: The majority of patients suspected of endometriosis at laparoscopy were confirmed by histological examination, i.e. 138 out of 164 patients (84.1%).
CONCLUSION: Laparoscopy is the easiest diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of endometriosis which can be confirmed by histological examination.
