Approximately 50% of patients with chronic pelvic pain will have a normal laparoscopy. The vast majority of women with endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain and absence of ovarian endometriomata determined by ultrasound will have revised ASRM Stage I or II (peritoneal) disease with preservation of the posterior cul-de-sac. This sparing of the posterior cul-de-sac may offer a preferable route of entry for endoscopic surgery compared to the current standard of care.
