Abstract
In deep endometriosis (DE), clusters of endometrium-like cells penetrate more than 5 mm below the peritoneum: The affected organs and tissue structures can eventuate in an alteration of the anatomy with eliminated organ boundaries, which in some cases can pose a real surgical challenge, even for experienced surgeons. A comprehensive description of the different manifestations of the disease can be found in the #Enzian classification. Since the operation is usually the foundation for the successful treatment of DE, what is important are conclusive indications, appropriate preoperative preparation and, above all, appropriate experience on the part of the surgical team. This article aims to provide a review of the surgical options that are currently available.
