ABSTRACT
No single therapeutic strategy has been shown to be completely effective in the management of the symptoms of endometriosis. Therapeutic options range from observation alone through a host of medical therapies to surgical ablation or excision to performing hysterectomy with or without bilateral oophorectomy. After carefully reviewing the literature we decided that we would adopt complete surgical excision of all extrauterine disease as the therapeutic approach most likely to benefit patients suffering from this most challenging disease.
