Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was carried out in university hospitals (Istanbul, Turkey). Patients diagnosed through bimanual gynecologic examination, gynecologic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging-confirmed endometrioma and DIE together; who underwent a laparoscopic surgery by a team of gynecologists, colorectal surgeons, and a urologist were retrospectively evaluated. The data were collected in a specific database and analyzed for postoperative pain outcomes through a comparison with preoperative symptoms scored using a visual analogue score (VAS), and the British Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy (BSGE) pelvic pain questionnaire.

women with endometriosis

65 women whose main symptom was pain and who did not respond to medical treatment and underwent endometriosis surgery

BSGE pelvic pain questionnaire and VAS scores

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients were evaluated using the BSGE pelvic pain questionnaire in terms of pre-operative and post-operative pain assessment in order to determine the effects of endometriosis surgery on the quality of life. The patients were asked to indicate their levels of dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, and chronic pelvic pain on a VAS on the pelvic pain questionnaire.
