Abstract

We present the details of 3 patients who were referred to our endometriosis centre for multidisciplinary care with deep infiltrating endometriosis. The pre-operative assessments, intra-operative gynaecological findings and treatment and post-operative urological follow up are discussed to illustrate the specific considerations required to optimise their urological management.
