The quality control standards for surgical treatment of endometriosis in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University (Red House Hospital)

Surgical treatment is essential for the management of endometriosis, particularly when conservative therapies are ineffective. This article outlined comprehensive quality control standards for surgical management developed by experts from the Yangtze River Delta region. The standards cover pre-operative evaluation (including detailed patient history, imaging, tumor marker testing, multidisciplinary team consultation, and assessment of surgical indications), intra-operative quality control (focusing on surgical safety, precise documentation, appropriate surgical techniques, prophylactic antibiotic administration, and perioperative temperature regulation), and post-operative care (emphasizing psychological support, optimization of hospital stay, patient-reported outcome measures, medication to reduce recurrence, and long-term follow-up). These measures aim to standardize clinical practice, minimize complications, and enhance patient outcomes. However, the complexity of endometriosis and variability in treatment approaches present ongoing challenges, highlighting the need for continuous refinement of these quality control protocols.
