Who is a good candidate for this procedure?

Ideal candidates include women with confirmed endometriosis who experience severe pelvic pain, infertility, or large ovarian endometriomas (>4 cm) that do not respond to medical therapy. Contraindications include active pelvic infection, severe medical comorbidities that increase surgical risk, or pregnancy. A thorough preoperative evaluation—including ultrasound, MRI, and discussion with a reproductive specialist—is required to confirm suitability and rule out other causes of symptoms.
