title: [Pelviscopy within the scope of differential gynecologic-surgical diagnosis. Endometriosis--chronic appendicitis].
abstract: Endometriosis associated with chronic pelvic pain is one of the most indications for gynecological pelviscopy. The differential diagnosis of chronic appendicitis is difficult to the similar symptoms, chronic course of both diseases and the increase of an earlier diagnosis of endometriosis concerning the age of women. The meticulous inspection of the whole abdominal cavity is necessary to exclude not only surgical diseases but for evaluation of endometriotic lesions in the area of genital and extragenital organs. Planning of hormone therapy and second-look pelviscopy should be performed by gynecologists.
