Abstract

Endometriosis is a complex disease, and the treatment of each patient must be individualized. Surgery has an important role in the long-term management of these patients. Whenever surgery is indicated, the concept of complete removal of the disease must be kept in mind. In this chapter, the authors discuss some issues about the “patient language” during surgery, important information that is frequently missed by surgeons but that must be well known in order to help in the decision-making process intraoperatively.
