“Centers of excellence in endometriosis surgery” or “centers of excellence in endometriosis”
Tóm tắt
Centers of excellent endometriosis surgery could improve the care of women with endometriosis, especially if combined with control of the quality of the surgery performed, e.g., through systematic taping of entire interventions. Centers of excellence in endometriosis without emphasis on providing excellent surgery seem of little value and could do more harm than good.
