Abstract
DE LOS RIOS-POSADA, José Fernando. Why deep infiltrating endometriosis should be considered a different entity to peritoneal endometriosis. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2012, vol.63, n.3, pp.259-271. ISSN 0034-7434.
The present review article collects, expresses, shows and analyses scientific information leading to a clear conclusion that deep infiltrating endometriosis is a different nosological entity to peritoneal endometriosis regarding many physiopathological, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. It was presented, discussed and supported by the Colombian Consensus of Experts in Endometriosis within the framework of the 28th Colombian Obstetrics and Gynaecology Congress held during May 2012. It was aimed at being a consultation document and bibliographical and legal support clarifying obvious differences between both diseases for actors in the Colombian health system and the general public.
Keywords : Deep infiltrating endometriosis; diagnosis; treatment; physiopathology; classification.
