Medical treatment of endometriosis has a suspensive and sometimes incomplete effect on the symptoms, making surgical treatment necessary. The aim of surgical treatment of deep endometriosis is to restore normal anatomy and functional integrity. Resection of deep endometriosis lesions is recommended to relieve pain, gynecological and digestive symptoms, but rarely urinary disorders. Nerve-sparing surgery, when feasible, reduces post-operative dysuria by sparing the lower hypogastric plexus. The major limitations of these surgical procedures are the experience of the surgeon and the extent of the disease. Acquiring the surgical techniques and skills necessary to carry out these types of procedures is essential to providing optimal patient care.
