A Study to Evaluate Pathologic Diagnosis of Endometriosis Compared to Gross Visualization

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis of endometriosis by gross visualization and compare to histologic evaluation during laparoscopic resection. By better understanding the polymorphic appearance of endometriosis, it will improve our diagnostic potential without having to rely on pathology. With this knowledge, it will improve patient centered care and possibly expedite treatment.
