• Endometriosis
• Laparoscopy
• Ovarian surgery

Recently, data have been published on the possible damage to the healthy ovarian tissue determined by surgery for the excision of endometriomas. We believe that, besides endometriosis in itself, the overall quality of surgery may have a major role in determining damage to the ovary. In recent years, surgeons dedicated to the treatment of endometriosis have refined the technique of laparoscopic surgery for the excision of endometriomas, with particular attention in developing the correct plane of cleavage and in the judicious use of electrosurgery. Quality of the surgery, and not surgery per se, may be important. Surgery is the gold standard treatment for ovarian endometriomas, but it should be performed with proper techniques by specifically trained surgeons. It's the singer, not the song.
