Surgical outcomes of laparoscopic hysterectomy with concomitant endometriosis without bowel or bladder dissection : A cohort analysis to define a case-mix variable

Background Pelvic endometriosis is often mentioned as one of the variables influencing surgical outcomes of laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH). However, its additional surgical risks have not been well established. The aim of this study was to analyze to what extent concomitant endometriosis influences surgical outcomes of LH and to determine if it should be considered as case-mix variable.
