Abstract

Endometriosis is one of the rather common gynecological diseases and diagnosed in 10% of reproductive-aged women. The problem of endometriosis is assuming an increasing sociomedical importance, which is due to the severe clinical manifestations and recurrent course of the disease, which have a negative impact on quality of life and working ability in women. The review discusses the high rate and unpredictability of recurrences of deep infiltrating endometriosis after surgical treatment. Adequate postoperative drug therapy is important for the prevention of recurrent pelvic pain and endometriotic foci and can reduce poor health consequences for women when repeated and more radical surgical interventions are needed.
