Epidemiology of subtle, typical, cystic, and deep endometriosis: a systematic review

In conclusion, there are no solid epidemiologic data of each type of endometriosis separately. With all restrictions imposed by the referral bias and by a clinical impression, the consistency of the observati on of deep endometriosis surgeons should be a reason for concern. The investigation of the epidemiology of deep endometriosis is suggested since it is relevant because it is clinically severe pathologic and feasible since it can be done from hospital-based records. Indeed, most women will ultimately have surgery with solid information on severity and an unbiased diagnosis if defined as “adenomyosis externa.”
