| Popis: | 3.1 Definition and epidemiology Statements: Endometriosis – one of the most common gynecologic diseases – is defined as the occurence of endometrium-like cell formations outside the uterine cavity. The cardinal symptom is chronic pelvic pain. Infertility is common. There are about 20 000 hospital admissions per year for endometriosis in Germany (Haas et al. 2012). Pathologically and histologically, endometriosis is a benign disease. However, infiltrative growth into adjacent organs is possible requiring extensive surgical procedures. |
