Abstract

We will prospectively evaluate the quality of life of patients and the evolution of symptoms before and after laparoscopic surgery for the extraction of endometriosis foci in different types of disease (peritoneal, ovarian and deep). This will occur through the application of questionnaires before the procedure, 6 and 12 months after surgery. They will assess them for their level of pain and the presence of infertility. We will use two questionnaires: Short Form (SF-36) and Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-30).
