It has been identified in virtually all tissues and organs of the female body with the exception of the spleen, which seems to enjoy immunity to this disease process….

These advances fostered expectations for the development of more detailed and precise definitions of the disease, well-documented guidelines for treatment…

Endometriosis is present in at least 1% of all women of reproductive age and is found in 20% of women operated for pelvic pain. Clearly, not every woman who has pain had endometriosis; however, a great number of patients with endometriosis have pain…

The primary sequelae of endometriosis include pelvic pain and endometrial implants, as well as dysmenorrheal and dyspareunia. The relationships between endometriosis and infertility is well accepted and documented. The goals of therapy include relief of symptoms, resolution of existing lesions, and prevention of new lesions…

For many of us, these topics have not been reviewed since medical school, when our clinical knowledge was limited. As physicians, we are faced with many challenging clinical situations, whether it be in the primary care office setting or in the surgical arena. This chapter revisits the basic science and underlying…

To select reconstructive procedures for cervical atresia, surgeons have emphasized the importance of the integrity of structures superior and inferior to the the atretic cervix and the presence of associated abnormalities of the Wolffian duct. There are few articles that focus on the anatomical variants that may result from maldevelopment of the cervix. This study seeks to carefully describe the…
