Abstract
To present the technique and usefulness of conscious pain mapping. Prospective, observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). Gynecology departments of a university-affiliated hospital and a private community hospital. Fifty consecutive women undergoing diagnostic microlaparoscopy. Conscious pain mapping was performed in all 50 women. Conscious pain mapping helped to identify foci of chronic pelvic pain. The appendix and pelvic adhesions accounted for a significant amount of pelvic pain in these women. Conscious pain mapping helps to uncover sites of pelvic pain that might not be identified during traditional laparoscopy under general anesthesia.
