Endometriosis: A concise practical guide to current diagnosis and treatment

Abstract

This book addresses the management of endometriosis from a holistic approach, including theoretical principles, conservative treatment ofthe condition, diagnostic and surgical procedures, as well as the outcome of research. Endometriosis and its treatment are complex issues. Webelieve that a combination of treatment modalities is needed in order to effectively address the pain, infertility, and other difficulties associatedwith endometriosis. In addition to theory and scientific principles, minimally invasive surgical procedures for the treatment of endometriosis aredescribed in a stepwise manner. Separate sections of the books are devoted to specific conditions, urological procedures, and general surgicalprocedures because the condition is ideally treated on an interdisciplinary basis. Areas of overlap with other specialties are also addressed.
