Abstract
Endometriosis can represent with a variety of symptoms including pelvic pain, dyspareunia and pain with defaecation, up to several years after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy. This may occur when all endometriotic tissue is not excised at the time of the initial procedure. Although excision of endometriosis at this time would be preferable, we have found laparoscopic excision of residual endometriosis to be effective in relieving endometriosis associated pain.Keywords
