Abstract
Endometrioma surgery should be planned and executed very carefully as it is associated with risks that may hamper future reproductive potential. Symptoms, age, risk of malignancy, bilaterality, ovarian reserve, and desire to have children should all be taken into account prior to surgical intervention. Cyclic and noncyclic severe pain may be an indicator or deep infiltrating diseases. Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard, however, the issue of resection versus ablation should be further studied.
