Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 10%-15% of women of childbearing age. Laparoscopic surgery is the preferred surgical approach. Recently, robotic surgery has been used for benign gynecologic surgery, but its role in the treatment of endometriosis is still unknown.
